Newest information regarding Lucas
Lucas Vazquez has once again earned a place at Real Madrid. And the fact is that with a Galician, the process seems to be always the same: he starts the course as a reserve theorist, joins the team due to various circumstances and, as a result, shows season after season that he has the level and character to give a lot to white. In the match against Barcelona, replacing a tired Carvajal, he played a key role in extra time, returning several important balls (including one that was key for Ansu Fati when the Blaugrana were in the penalty area) and launching several counterattacks, including the decisive goal by Valverde. In the match with Athletic, he will return to the right flank. Carvajal’s infection positive for the coronavirus changed Ancelotti’s plans, which he planned to repeat with Leganés. However, this position does not cause as much headache as he blindly trusts Lucas, who has always answered him. In fact, he has already played 21 games this season, 15 of which he played as a winger (the other six he played as a winger and only two of them as a starter). Among them, a victory at the Camp Nou in the League (1-2) or two victories over Valencia. This is already his natural position, which is why the club decided to stay with him in the summer and let Odriozola go on loan at Fiorentina.
The great ending
His good performance convinced Madrid to extend his contract, which expired last summer. The board decided to give him two more years with a pay rise to show him his importance and appreciate his participation in the team. At 30 years old, the white youth squad that came to Madrid in 2007 as a youth returns to the team’s rescue at a key moment when the first title of the season is on the line
