He Real Zaragoza He faces the last days of his preseason, so far his friendlies by victories and executing a game ideas defined in being a solid and vertical team in a 4-4-2 formation. Despite this, there is a key position in that scheme in which Gabi Fernández It has a maximum urgency unable to have, for now, with any member of the first team: the centrals.
In the friendly of this Wednesday, the Maño team traveled to Tarragona with the presence of only a central of the first team. Radovanovic, with a sprain in the ankle that was made in Tarazona, and Kosa, operated a few days ago of his meniscus injury, were not available to Gabi, leaving Tachi as the only player usable on the axis of the rear.
The Madrid, one of the signings in this summer market with roots of Graus, began the game forming a couple with Saidu and endured only 18 minutes in the field. An action, in which he was not right to clear the ball and ended up impacting with the Nástic striker Marcos Baselga, caused the central, sore knee, had to retire from the field.
Without even having an official medical part of the state of Tachi and waiting to see the recovery of the Radovanovic ankle, there are currently no plants available from the first staff, having the multipurpose Borge, the central of the Carrillo subsidiary and the converted and surprise of this preseason Saidu as players who can act in that demarcation. As they did in the match against Nástic that ended with victory for Real Zaragoza.

It is urgent to sign
The position of Central is one of the one that is giving the most work to the sports direction of Real Zaragoza this summer. With the exit this summer of all the centrals except for Kosa, Txema Indias had the obligation to bring several members in that demarcation. Until now, Tachi and Radovanovic have been the signings that have come to occupy that position.
Despite the two additions of Madrid and Serbian, Txema Indias, as he already recognized last Tuesday in the presentation of Paulino and Pomares, is aware of the need to bring more effective in the center of defense. An urgency that has grown due to the injuries and discomforts that the three centrals of the first team have suffered.
The next and last test of the blanquillo set This preseason will be this Saturday against Huesca at the Ibercaja stadium and we will have to wait to see if both Radovanovic and Tachi arrive at the duel against the Oscense team or on the contrary, Gabi will still not be able to have any central of the first template, having to make use of Saidu, Borge and Carillo in that demarcation. And all this, with an eye on the debut in the League next August 17 in San Sebastián.
