Doubts have returned to haunt Real Madrid fans, about the team's defensive line, after the poor performance that he showed since the start of the current season.

Although the defensive system was the main reason for the Merengue crowning the Liga title last season, the team failed to maintain this performance, and it is threatening a disastrous season.

The Royal has conceded 14 goals in the last 7 games, in light of the low level of many defenders, led by Raphael Varane, who continued his unforgivable mistakes, after he was the main reason for eliminating Manchester City in the Champions League, last season.

Also, Militao, who joined from Porto for 50 million euros, every time he participates, does not provide the required performance, and leaves many doubts about him.

Even Nacho, who was playing the "Joker", in the defensive line, is constantly vulnerable to injuries, while Marcelo represents a permanent loophole.

Coach Zinedine Zidane faced a severe crisis in the right-back position, after Dani Carvajal and his young substitute, Alvaro Odriozola, were injured, and he had to resort to Lucas Vásquez to fill this deficit.

And Vázquez cannot be blamed severely, after he conceded a goal against Valencia (1-4), as he is a winger and not a full back.

In light of these absences that hit the team, Zidane will have to rely on Vázquez, until Carvajal returns at the beginning of next December.

Ramos' crisis

And because misfortunes do not come alone, Real Madrid entered into a new crisis with the star and captain of the team, Sergio Ramos, whose contract expires at the end of the current season.

The Real Madrid administration is still insisting on the offer it made previously to Ramos, to renew for one season only, as is usual with players who have passed the age of thirty, but the central defense refuses and wants to sign for two seasons.

Despite the Spanish international’s confirmation that he would like to end his career in the royal team, he will be entitled to sign for any other club, next January.

Real Madrid will face a real crisis, in the event of Ramos' departure, as the team's suffering was more evident in the matches that they missed, and with the financial crisis due to the outbreak of the Corona virus, it will be difficult to include a distinguished defender to compensate him.
