- Zinedine Zidane has tested Lucas Vazquez at right-back in Real Madrid's latest inter-squad training game at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano.
Vazquez came in later during the game and replaced Dani Carvajal
- This is not something new for Lucas: Rafael Benitez already played the Spaniard there in December 2015 when the Whites faced Getafe.
- Zidane played Vazquez at right-back in 2018 when Real Madrid took on Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final (Dani Carvajal was injured).
- Even Julen Lopetegui used him there at least on three occasions.
- While being an attacking player, Vazquez registers 1.1 tackles per game which shows that he's indeed doing some defensive work anyway.
- Thus, playing him at right-back would be a decent option in order to give Dani Carvajal some well-deserved rest.
