Zinedine Zidane, the coach of Real Madrid, had a full squad available for training on Tuesday after initially working with only 12 players. This allowed him to implement his preferred formation, the 4-3-3 system, which is commonly used in modern football for its balance between defense and attack. In this formation, four players defend, three midfielders control the flow of the game, and three forwards are responsible for scoring goals. Zidane placed Kylian Mbappé, the French forward known for his speed and finishing ability, on the left side of the attack. This positioning allows Mbappé to use his pace and dribbling skills to stretch the opposition's defense. Ousmane Dembélé, a versatile forward with strong dribbling and shooting abilities, was chosen to play as the number 9, which is the central striker position. This role typically involves being the focal point of the attack, linking play between midfield and forwards, and scoring goals. With a full squad available, Zidane now has more flexibility in his tactics and player rotations. This is especially important as the season progresses and the team faces a demanding schedule with multiple competitions. The return of all players also gives him the opportunity to assess different combinations and strategies before key matches.
