Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Moussa Diaby’s “Little Brother” interview!
Sunday is derby day! After a painful victory against Alavés this Tuesday in La Liga, Real Madrid wants to continue this Sunday with a trip to the lawn of its neighbor, Atlético Madrid. In the standings, the Merengue are two points ahead of the Colchoneros, but four behind Barça, leader. Victory is therefore mandatory for Carlo Ancelotti’s men who will have to do without Kylian Mbappé, the Frenchman was out for several weeks following this injury against Alavés.
Modric back in a 4-4-2
To compensate for this absence, the Italian technician could well review his system. Indeed, as revealed by the media Reliefhe is considering returning to a more classic 4-4-2 with a return to the starting lineup: that of Luka Modric. The objective is to gain balance, but also experience in a poster that promises to be tense. As a reminder, Eduardo Camavinga, who returned to training this week, is still too short to start, just like Endrick and Arda Güler. To help him, Federico Valverden Aurélien Tchouaméni and Jude Bellingham should be there with the Vinicius Junior – Rodrygo duo. The derby promises to be hot!
