Few hours from now, Real Madrid would be starting their La Liga campaign with an away trip to Balaidos, home to Celta Vigo. The Capital of Spain club would be hoping to start the season in the best of ways and put last season’s disaster behind them. Defending champions Barcelona started their season with a loss to Athletic Bilbao yesterday and Real Madrid should be able to take advantage of that early slip and begin pressuring the Catalans as soon as today.
Real Madrid fan base were hit with unfortunate news as newly recruited talisman, Eden Hazard who was bought to fill in the huge hole left in the team by Portuguese Legend Cristiano Ronaldo is said to have picked up an injury and would miss at most three straight matches including that of today against Celta Vigo. Hazard joins the list of injured players in the squads and takes the list up to 7. Considering the amount of talent in the squad, only the Belgian’s name and reputation is expected to be missed. The only problem facing the team heading into this encounter is Coach Zinedine Zidane’s dilemma. With Hazard in the team, Zidane appears to have found a fitting formation for the team but with the Belgian out, he is bound to have team selection headaches. Zidane is expected to roll out a flat 4-3-3 formation which will accommodate the much wingers filling the team at the moment.
This is going to be a very tricky encounter as Celta Vigo are always good on their ground and scores lots of goals on it but I am expecting Real Madrid to return home with the three points because I have also started my betting season with them as personally thought and agreed.
