They are just 11 games to settle the League title, but also to know if their performance gives them a new campaign in the Madrid ranks. Two of those footballers are two youth players: Lucas Vázquez and Nacho. Two players trained in the White Sports City and who this season they have gone from more to less. Both need strong encouragement to become part of that group of 14-15 players who had the full confidence of Zidane to face the competitions.

A ligament injury knocked him off the pitch for much of the final stretch last year, preventing Zidane from having more services. This campaign he has only played 641 minutes, which makes him the fourth player with the fewest minutes for the Whites: he is only ahead of Mariano (65 ‘), Brahim (170’) and Odriozola (on loan from Bayern since the last market. winter and when he left it totaled 434 minutes).
Now a new phase begins in this strange season. Lucas Vázquez and Nacho must change their trend: from come to less to reverse their situation. Zidane needs them and they will seek to reverse their situation.
