Looking for the right back

Real’s plague of injuries can be found in imanol Faced with an important problem: Who plays immediately?

This is not a small thing. Coincidentally, the only position in the squad that has three players for a single spot, is entirely in the infirmary. The decrease of Aritz at the Bernabéu the short staff of imanol, which is now 15 players. Oriotarra has little room for maneuver, but several days to decide between the existing options. It all depends on the time he has to spend without a clean back.

Various experiments

The most obvious refers to being the one observed in Madrid after the injury of beasaindarra. put in zubeldia from right behind, and delay zubimendi in the middle to convey the handle of the equipment to illarramendi. If one of them fails, the formula will not work, because Pacheco Y Guevara They are KO, and Oriotarra doesn’t seem ready to provide an alternative Urko. zubeldia He did well when, in due time, he had to act there, against Valencia in Anoeta after the dismissal of Aritz example, though imanol He has already warned in a press conference that he “doesn’t feel comfortable.” Recovery of Pacheco can give wings to this path.

By exhausting the first team’s routes, that is possible Rich either Aihen play switch legs. They haven’t done it yet, but it’s one of the few doubled positions at the moment, and they’re still full-backs.

Another alternative is barrenetxea, who has already surprised as a winger in the European qualifiers of previous seasons, and played there at the Camp Nou, but will be absent this Sunday and it remains to be seen if his physical condition allows him to contribute to the team. That should not be taken for granted either imanol surprise with an unexpected relocation of a footballer, or change the technique to eliminate the position of the right back. A 3-5-2 with an inside midfielder leaning more to the right, for example.

Sanse problems

Zubieta is always a good option to replace players. However, the situation in the subsidiary is complicated. Jokin Gabilondo, The undisputed starting right-back, he is already 23 years old, and if he plays in the first team he will not be able to return to Sanse as confirmed by this newspaper, as Aritz Arambarri, 24-year-old, despite being a center-back, played as a winger imanol in the Europa League in this same campaign. This raises a double question. On the one hand: Is it time to raise them permanently, and sacrifice their Sanse seasons, because of this fallout? On the other hand, if it is not so, is it worth it that they are in the subsidiary at that age, what it entails?
