The bench players, more important than ever
The five changes and the new reality in the teams' physical condition will make bench players even more decisive in the return of LaLiga.
Spanish football clubs continue to prepare for LaLiga's return after two months without football. Many things will change and it is likely that those who do not return physically or mentally strong will suffer.
Which is why the players on the bench will become all team's great ally. In any case, the substitutes will be even more decisive than they were in the first days of the tournaments.
A quick review of what happened until now makes Getafe the team that's managed its substitutes the best. The substitutes have scored nine goals and this is due to the constant rotations by Bordalas.
The coach said that the five changes give the big teams an advantage, but so far he has benefited most from the substitutions.
After Geatfe, a group with three of the four best teams in the championship are the most advantaged by the five changes if one looks at this season's track record. In Barcelona, Real Madrid and Real Sociedad, the substitutes have contributed eight goals.
For Barcelona, this has been because of recurrent injuries for the team's biggest stars, which is why the most important players have often had to begin matches on the bench.
Meanwhile, Real Sociedad have taken advantage of their large squad and good strike force to divide the goals in the second half among the non-starters.
Finally, Zinedine Zidane has always been an expert on the bench. With many young players, Real Madrid could be the big winners of the new rule and the great candidate to regain the league title.
