Football Spain: Lizarazu compliments Raphael Varane

The benefits of Raphael Varane in defense of Real Madrid are excellent.

At 19 years, the Martinique has already put the entire Santiago Bernabeu stadium in the pocket.

The Caribbean trained at RC Lens, continues to splash his class each of his appearances with Real Madrid.
The central defender should hold Tuesday evening in the second round of the Champions League with Manchester United. On the way, Real and MU parted on a parity score (1-1). He impressed in his last outings.

According to Bixente Lizarazu, despite the qualities of Varane is a little early to say he is the best defender in France:

“When we graduated with Real Madrid, in a Clasico, when a coach like José Mourinho trusts  with what is best in the world, there is no problem of level. The only thing is that defense needs automation, “says Bixente Lizarazu in the columns of L’Equipe.

“He is to be shot as holder in the central hinge immediately. He has the speed, power, a good set of head, sobriety, which is a great quality for a defender, and technical quality. The fact that he is called “Don Limpio” in Spain (Mr. Clean), for me, is the sign of a great quality. After he is young, the road is long, but let’s say his potential is above the others. In addition, I feel that it is installed; it has the head on his shoulders, “says world champion 98.
In one month, Varane has two goals in Barcelona and conquered permanently Madrid. When he left the Racing in the summer of 2011 to sign with Real Madrid, many observers have criticized the transfer.

We can understand this: a kid of 17 years leaving the championship of France to put his bag in a locker’s most prestigious world football, it can be wondered.

However, those who had been in contact with the player showed no ounce of concern about it.
