Central Attacking Midfielder Expected To Step Up For Zinedine Zidane And Real Madrid

The games are back and Real Madrid is picking up right where they left off with a 3-1 victory over SD Eibar. While the strong victory doesn’t come off as a huge surprise, one player expected to step up in future games for the club is central attacking midfielder Isco.

Per The Real Champs, Real Madrid sees a lot of promise for the coming matches for Isco by how he’ll command the field. It’s been months since teams have played any time on the pitch but their win over Eibar showed only minimal rust. While Isco wasn’t fully maximized during their triumphant return, expect the Spanish footballer to be utilized in the succeeding games.

The crucial aspect of the Los Blancos’ offense comes from the trio of Isco, Eden Hazard and Karim Benzema. During their return game against Eibar, Hazard and Benzema were in perfect form against their opponents. The aggressiveness was in full display for these players as they were seen constantly running on the field to clean up any passes by their opponents.

While Isco saw limited time during Real Madrid’s first game back, he’s expected to get back to his form right before the league was suspended. Provided that the 28-year-old is fit and ready to compete, Zinedine Zidane should field the four-time Champions League winner more often in the coming days. It will be a good chance for Isco to prove to everyone that he’s a valuable piece to a winning team.

The next few games will prove to be crucial for Real Madrid as they’re aiming to win it all in the current La Liga season. The standings have them at second place behind the league-leading Barcelona. Despite trailing Barca in the points, Zidane and the rest of his club are still among the favorites to win the season. They were able to defeat Lionel Messi and Barcelona in their previous encounter with a 2-0 victory.

Having someone like Isco step up in this crucial stretch will be big for Real Madrid. They currently have 59 points and tallied 17 wins, eight draws and only three losses.

It will be interesting to see how Real Madrid moves forward with their lineup. Expectations are high for the organization and it’ll be important to note how players like Isco will step up for the club.
