According to the "Marca newspaper", Zidane has recently unearthed a new star in the Real Madrid youth team, he is only 20-year-old midfielder Antonio Blanco.
In the last league match against Cadiz, Blanco made his first-team debut. The Marca newspaper said Zidane was very satisfied with the player's performance, had confidence in his future and intended to temporarily position him as a regular substitute in midfield.
The Real Madrid squad has suffered serious injuries this season, and the midfield position is no exception. With several midfielders injured, Modric and Kroos have had to play in almost all of their recent matches. Therefore, marca believes that Blanco's appearance can alleviate zidane's distress of platooning and ensure that no mistakes will be made in the next critical period of the double-line championship race. Considering that the team will face the Champions League semi-final against Chelsea in midweek next week, Blanco has the potential to play again in this weekend's league match against Betis.
Blanco is currently castilla's main player, and Raul's team is also in a critical stage of promotion in recent days, so Blanco is also very important to him. However, when Zidane needs him, he can be called up to the first team for the competition.
