Somehow it succeeds.

Eden Hazard, Sergio Ramos, Rodrigo, Federico Valorda, Marcelo, Adar Militau, Krim Benzema, Danny Carvajal, Albero Odriosola.
This is the list of missing persons that Zinedine Zidane had to face yesterday (Saturday), when nine senior and significant players were absent from Real Madrid - and yet the Blancos managed to beat Real Valladolid 0: 1, and managed to narrow the gap at the top in Spain to only three points (although Atletico is missing a game) .
It is doubtful that this ability will be enough for Real Madrid in Europe, on Wednesday against Atlanta in the Champions League, but in the meantime the champion manages to win, manages to gain some momentum, and all Zidane can hope for is to stay in the picture until some of the injured return. Worthy replacements, after sitting on the Isco bench and a few other anonymous kids from the youth department yesterday.

Madrid's's editor Thomas Ronsero lamented after the game: "Real smelled the blood of the injured Atletico and announced a chase for the leader. The nine missing created a team of hard-working players, and they did a job that managed to rake in three points. The one who secured the victory is Courtois with the saves His, and Kasmiro who is the soul of Real. "
Indeed, Real still have some players full of character and experience: one is Tibo Courtois, who provided some great saves and kept a clean sheet, and the other is the same Casimiro, who rose high and scored his team’s winning goal.
"There are a lot of injured players, and it makes it difficult for us, but we deserved to win," he said at the end of the Brazilian midfielder, "We want to win the championship, and know there are 42 points left in the box office."
Casimiro buttered Courtois (does not surprise me), and admitted: "My goal is thanks to Tony Cross, he always raises so well."
Zidane stated at the end that Benzema will not play against Atlanta either, saying: The same in front of Atlanta.
There is still a long season ahead of us. "On the win, Zidane said:" He is important, the fourth in a row, and we must continue to do our job, without looking at others.
I think we are doing well, there is continuity in our results and that is important.
There are injuries, but those who play give productivity. "
And hence, to the losing side of the city.
Atletico Madrid, who until recently looked like the clear favorite for the title, continued to lose height with an embarrassing 2-0 home loss to Levante, and now they are in a somewhat precarious position even ahead of the Champions League game against Chelsea this coming Tuesday.
"The goal is very important, but the road is just as important," Diego Simeone said.
"To get there we will have to overcome barriers, bad luck, good play, bad play, that's what it takes to meet the goal in the end. Strong people in difficult times will have a higher chance of getting there."
When asked if the drop in ability was related to the corona blow that had spread to part of his team, the lead coach said: "I'm not looking for excuses."
