Odegaard, 'punished' after the KO

The situation of Martin Odegaard in this Real Madrid of Zidane acquires strange tints.

It has disappeared from the map in the Marseilles plans to the point that the Nordic did not even receive the instruction from his coach to warm up in a game in which Madrid fell 0-2 and stroked the comeback.

For dessert, due to 'punishment' or who knows if due to personal vindication, he was the only substitute at La Rosaleda who jumped onto the lawn of the Malaga stadium after the elimination to exercise accompanied by two

The paradox, in theory, is that Zidane expanded on explaining Odegaard's situation just before this Super Cup semifinals when he was asked about the few minutes he gives his pupil.

"It is circumstantial, Martin will triumph in Madrid," said Zizou

Between December and January Odegaard was only seen 77 minutes against Shakhtar in the 2-0 in Ukraine and 5 minutes against Celta.

Nothing else.

An almost zero presence considering that Zidane even looked for a change of drawing to accommodate the Norwegian in a kind of 4-2-3-1 to exploit his movements as a playmaker.

Two and a half months have passed and it seems like another completely different movie.

Odegaard has gone uncounted (the same has happened, in his own way, to Valverde) as a replacement for Modric.

Nor as an option to alter the game with your creativity.

Odegaard had his second year on loan at Real that all parties had agreed to be cut short in this Madrid 2020-21 without James or Bale.

The result is that,

at the moment, he has not been seen 400 minutes to demonstrate his ability.

"Martin has to work hard, show that he can make a difference," Modric advised him.

While that new opportunity arrives,

Odegaard is the only one who comes out to sweat at La Rosaleda after a stick that leaves Madrid with no options to revalidate the Super Cup ...
