The French manager spoke in press conference before facing Granada in La Liga. Another step more to win the title: “There are few games remaining and we know that these are three very important points. We’re going to give everything on the pitch”, Zidane warned the rival.

However, the most important words came when he was asked about Mbappé after the front page of Marca, where they say that the player agreed to play with Los Blancos: “He almost signed for Real Madrid… but it didn’t happen finally. He’s doing a great season but I don’t use to talk about players who I don’t train”.

The manager is very calm before the last games of the season: “I’m not worried at all, but we haven’t won. We can win everything or nothing. We only know that we have to keep working until the end, until the last minute of the last game. I don’t know what will happen, but I like that we’re working respectfully”.

In the same speech, Zizou explained why he didn’t know where he will train the next season: “At Real Madrid the results are very demanding. I love a lot this club and I’ve been here for 16 years, but I know exactly where I am. If you don’t deliver good results you go home. During my career, I’ve always tried to win everything”.

He also had very kind words for Florentino Pérez: “The truth is that I try to give everything. I know about football. Every day I go to train with the hope and I’m learning and progressing. What it’s said outside I don’t care. Being at Real Madrid is the best thing ever happened in my professional career”.

Zizou also demanded the Golden Ball for Cristiano Ronaldo: “I see it that way. The credit is his. He’s close to the next one, yes”. The manager also confirmed that the Portuguese will rest again: “I speak a lot with Cristiano and he knows himself a lot. He knows that until now, he’s played 60-70 games so he needs to rest a bit. I’m not the coach who has put Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench. I know that players need to rest. If everyone wants to arrive until the end at their top they have to rest”.

Zidane also confirmed that Pepe won’t join the group yet: “Fabio is going to be with us. Pepe is fine and he’ll be with us the next week. Varane had some problems and we don’t want to risk”.

Mbappe_Dortmund-GI

Florentino Pérez is searching for his new Galáctico this summer and now the player with more odds to land at Santiago Bernabéu is Kylian Mbappé. The French striker played a great first leg in the semi-finals of the Champions League against Juventus despite the defeat and Los Blancos think he’s the perfect player to join the squad.

The Spanish newspaper Marca, the most popular in Spain, published on Friday in their front page that Mbappé agreed to join Real Madrid and he’ll do the effort to put some pressure on Mónaco bosses to sign with the Spanish giants.

Mbappè’s main reason is Zinedine Zidane. Zizou tried to sign him some years ago to play with the youngsters of Real Madrid but the deal couldn’t be sealed. However, Zidane’s admiration for the striker continues and he’s the preferred one by the manager. Mbappé knows it and he thinks he can play at his best with Zizou on the bench. The other reason is the way Los Blancos approached the player, talking with his family and showing a very interesting plan.

Real Madrid have a lot of competitors in the race to sign Mbappé. The main one is Manchester United, who already offered €100M to get him on board but Monaco rejected the bid. PSG are also interested in the French striker, but they are about to sign Aubameyang, one of the options Los Blancos had to reinforce the attacking line. With the bid rejected coming from Manchester, Florentino knows that he would need to spend a record transfer fee if Real Madrid want to tie Mbappé.

According to the Spanish press, the French striker has overtaken Eden Hazard in the race to sign a Galáctico. If Florentino Pérez finally decides to spend a lot of money to sign a player, some star should leave the club. Gareth Bale and his numerous injuries should be the first one to leave, but Karim Benzema or James Rodríguez are also in the departure line. Would you sign Mbappé this summer?

Granada v Real Madrid Preview


Granada are currently, perhaps, the worst team in La Liga. They are already relegated and the arrival of the new coach Tony Adams hasn’t improved the situation. Actually, it got worse. After three coaches and dozens of footballers with different nationalities, no one got shocked when Granada got mathematically relegated last week, when they lost against Real Sociedad. Ponce is suspended, whereas Saunier is injured, so both will miss the game. Kravets and Héctor Hernández are doubtful.

Real Madrid got a great victory (3-0) on Tuesday in the first leg of the semi-finals of the Champions League against Atlético Madrid. Los Blancos are just one step away from the final at Cardiff thanks to the hat-trick scored by Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese will rest on Saturday, as well as some important players like Marcelo, Modric or Benzema. Bale, Pepe and Carvajal are injured so they’ll miss the game. Besides, Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Madrid and also Varane, with some problems.

Granada v Real Madrid Predicted Line Ups


Granada (4-5-1): Ochoa; Gastón, Ingason, Hongla, Foulquier; Angban, Uche, Pereira; Aly Mallé, Cuenca; Adrián Ramos.

Daniel Carvajal

The worst news about the first leg of the semi-finals of the Champions League between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid was the injury of Daniel Carvajal, doubtlessly the best right back in Europe. The club has still to confirm the length of the injury but it’s very likely that the Spaniard will miss the rest of the season.

Carvajal got injured at the end of the first half. After jumping to head the ball, he noticed the pain in the right thigh. He couldn’t continue and Carvajal was replaced by Nacho in the half time. Nacho didn’t suffer in this position and he played great actually, defending Filipe Luis and Ferreira Carrasco in his side of the pitch.

Zinedine Zidane has to decide how to replace Carvajal in the next few games. He has a person in this position in the squad, but Danilo has shown that he shouldn’t be trusted in important games. The Brazilian performances are getting better in the last weeks and he’s having many minutes in La Liga, but it’s very unlikely that Zizou decides to put him in the line-up in the Champions League.

Now that Raphael Varane is recovered and Pepe is also training with the rest of the team, we should think that Nacho will be the chosen one to play in this position. The Spanish full back was the defense with more minutes during the month of April and he is untouchable for Zizou. In this new position of right back he can also be very competitive and help the team to win the two titles remaining.

However, Real Madrid supporters will miss Carvajal. The right back started the season with a superb goal in the extra time of the European Supercup against Sevilla, bringing the title to Madrid. Then, he made an amazing assist to Benzema in the Champions League against Napoli and played really well against Bayern Munich. He’s level is improving season by season and no one doubts about his importance.

The stats show that Los Blancos can overcome this fatality. Carvajal has missed 12 games this season in La Liga and Champions League and Real Madrid won all of them. In Europe he only missed the game against Legia at home. In Copa del Rey, Carvajal didn’t play the quarter-finals against Celta and Real Madrid were knocked-out of the competition.

Patrick-Emerick Aubameyang was one of the Real Madrid targets for the summer. However, the Borussia Dortmund striker won’t play in La Liga the next season and it’s very likely that he ends up playing in France.

According to the German newspaper Bild, Aubameyang is very close to sign a new contract with French giants PSG. The African player will join the French club for a three year contract, earning €14M for each season. The salary would be much higher than his current one, €8M in Germany.

Aubameyang’s dream was to play at Real Madrid. He said it several times, even when Borussia Dortmund visited Santiago Bernabéu early this season in the Champions League because his grandfather was a strong Real Madrid fan. However, according to Bild, the player has understood that the signing is very difficult, so he’s looking to move to somewhere else.

Patrick Kluivert, currently working for PSG, has already met Aubameyang and the agreement would very close to be sealed. The French club would pay around €60M or €70M to Borussia Dortmund. AC Milan were also interested in the striker but the fact that the team won’t play the Champions League the next season was very important.

PSG were also having a close eye on Alexis Sánchez, but the price of the Chilean striker would be even higher, so they’ve chosen Aubameyang to lead the attacking line next season together with Edinson Cavani. Actually, how the Uruguayan and the Gabonese would fit together is the big question mark in this operation.

PSG are finishing a terrible season in the first year under the management of Unai Emery. They were knocked out of the Champions League by a shocking 6-1 defeat at Camp Nou and they won’t win the title in the Ligue One, because Monaco have a very good advantage in the end of the season. Therefore, the team needs to go again to the market and reinforce the squad with the goal of fighting for the Champions League next year.

Kléper Laveran Lima Ferreira ‘Pepe’ might not play again for Real Madrid. The Portuguese defender got a fracture in his rib in the derby against Atlético Madrid in La Liga in early April and he should rest for some more days. Taking in consideration that we are finishing the season and that his contract expires in June, we might not see again Pepe dressing the white t-shirt.

He played brilliantly his last game against the city rivals, even scoring one goal. His dedication to the club has been great and Los Blancos offered one year more of contract to Pepe, but the Portuguese defender wants to have his last good deal as a footballer and he’s demanding two more years.

There are some big clubs in Europe that are willing to offer these two years to Pepe, so he can continue playing in a top-flight club. However, he also has some tempting offers from China, offering him a very high salary, impossible to beat for the European teams. Actually, it’s very likely that he end up in China, as can be seen in m88 Asia, one of the top gambling Asian websites.

But should Pepe end his career in China? Last summer he was one of the best footballers in the Euro Cup and he helped his team to lift for the very first time in the history an international tournament trophy. Besides, in June he played from the beginning the final of the Champions League with Real Madrid, winning his second European trophy with Los Blancos.

Pepe has been one of the best foreigners players in Real Madrid history. This is a lot to say, but it’s actually true. He arrived in 2007 from Porto paying a transfer fee of €30M. It looked a high transfer fee for an unknown player, but he showed his quality and his professionalism in the following years. Now, we are about to see the end of his career, but Real Madrid should take care of him and prepare a well deserved farewell for one of the best defenders of the last years.

Cristiano Ronaldo received from Florentino Pérez a t-shirt commemorating the great milestone achieved against Atlético Madrid. He has scored 400 goals for Real Madrid, the last 10 of them in the Champions League quarter-finals and semi-finals.

“This is something very especial. These are a lot of goals, I didn’t expect it. This is thank to the effort of the whole team, my effort and everybody else who works in the club and the fans, who always support us. It’s an extra motivation playing with this t-shirt. I feel happy and I want to give the best of me in these years”, Cristiano Ronaldo said.

The Portuguese also spoke about the great first leg against Atlético: “I see a fantastic team. Yesterday it was another proof that the team is fine and with confidence. Winning 3-0 is amazing and very important. The control of the game shows the freshness of our players. We’re very motivated and we want to arrive to the final of the Champions League. We have a small advantage, we’re only one step away from Cardiff. Hopefully we can achieve it”.

Cristiano Ronaldo was again the best footballer on the pitch and he showed that he’s arriving to the end of the season very fit. On the contrary to the last season, the Portuguese striker is resting a lot in La Liga, so he’s now fit to face the last crucial games. He showed it against Bayern Munich, scoring 7 goals, and against Atlético Madrid, with a hat-trick.

After these performances, there are some people who are already requesting the Golden Ball for the Portuguese player. For instance, former Real Madrid player Guti demanded the award for the striker:

The same for his former colleague Álvaro Arbeloa:

Do you think Cristiano Ronaldo is now one of the best footballers in Real Madrid history?

Los Blancos beat Atlético Madrid (3-0) in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals in a great game played by Real Madrid. Have a look at the players performance on Tuesday:

Keylor Navas (9): The Costa Rican goalkeeper didn’t have a lot of work on Tuesday but he saved a great chance with Kevin Gameiro in the first half. Besides, he was very secure during the clash.

Carvajal (7): Unfortunately for the Spanish right back, he got injured at the end of the first half. He suffered a bit in defence and lost more balls than usual. However, he’s always a very important player and the first chance of the game was thanks to him.

Varane (9): He was perfect in the defense line. Griezmann or Gameiro couldn’t pass him during the game. Besides, he almost scored the second goal with a header.

Sergio Ramos (8): He always shines in the big games. This time, he didn’t find Oblak’s goal but didn’t have many problems in the defense. He was quick and secure. The captain never fails.

Marcelo (8): He created many problems in his wing, especially with Lucas Hernández defended him when he’s not used to play as a right back.

Casemiro (8): He didn’t have as many problems as against Bayern Múnich. Atlético Madrid lost the battle in the midfield. Besides, he gave the assist in the first goal.

Toni Kroos (8): The German midfielder was one of the kings of the midfield. Together with Luka Modric they controlled the game and left few chances to Atlético Madrid.

Modric (9): The Croatian midfielder was at his best. This time he played great both offensively and in defense. He didn’t miss a cross. Perfect performance.

Isco (9): He was the best player during the first half. The playmaker acted in between the lines, touching a lot the ball and creating many problems to Atlético Madrid defenders. In the second half his performance was poorer because he was very tired.

Benzema (7): The French forward moved well in the attacking line and helped the team in defense. He almost scored a great goal from a volley.

Cristiano Ronaldo (10): Perfect game for the Portuguese striker. Again he hammered the rival in a very important game. A hat-trick in the semi-finals of the Champions League. What else can we ask?

—-
Nacho (8): It doesn’t matter in which positions he’s playing. He’s always brilliant. This time he played in the right back and Nacho didn’t have any problem.

Asensio (9): His knock-out stage games in the Champions League are brilliant. Marco Asensio leaded the counter attack in the second half and he punished Lucas Hernández.

Lucas Vázquez (8): He came in to the pitch to cover Filipe Luis and he ended up giving the assist to the last goal. He did what he was asked to do.

Zinedine Zidane spoke in press conference after the great game played by his team in the first leg of the semi-finals against Atlético Madrid. The manager wanted to be cautious: “It’s not decided. Simeone is right. Today we played well, we prepared the game, knowing their strength and ours. We’ve been better. The 3-0 means that we played a great game, but we know we are going to suffer in the second leg. For sure”, the manager said.

However, the French coach couldn’t be happier: “I don’t know if this has been my best game, but it was a great match. It’s not easy to score three goals. The first half an hour was great, we had a lot of chances to score the second goal, but we did it in the second half. We played a great game without conceding any goal, which is very important playing at home”.

Zidane wanted to be prudent because there are still some games left this year: “Today we can be happy, but I don’t think there is euphoria. There is still a lot left in the Champions and La Liga. We haven’t won anything yet. Today we have to enjoy, rest and think about Saturday’s game, which is very important for La Liga”.

Obviously, the best player in the pitch was Cristiano Ronaldo: “He knows he needs to rest Then with the changes someone comes in and he played great. We can start with one formation, change, and be even better. We started with Isco in between the lines and he played great. Then with Marco Asensio and Lucas we played with the wings”, Zidane analyzed.

Zidane wanted to highlight the strength of the team: “The strength of Real Madrid is the idea of the game. Trying to play because we have great players. With patience we can punish any team. Our first half an hour was great, with a lot of chances, rhythm and great technically. In the second half we were very effective, with less chances we score two goals”.

Zizou doesn’t want any confidence to face the game at Vicente Calderón next Wednesday: “In football there are no easy games. We’re going to need a perfect game at Vicente Calderón to go through”.

Apart from highlighting the great second half of Nacho, Zidane was also questioned about his feelings at Madrid: “I’m happy. I enjoy every day what I’m doing with my players. But we haven’t won anything. The most important thing is to be focused, also for me. I’m happy because we played a great game, scoring three goals to a difficult team and not conceding any goal”, Zidane finished.
