Zinedine Zidane

Zinedine Zidane spoke in press conference on Saturday before playing against Betis in La Liga on Sunday. The manager didn’t give any clue about the possible starting eleven and he kept saying that the main goal for Real Madrid this season is winning La Liga titile.

The first important thing to win the title is not losing at home: “We are going to try keep going like this and make a lot of effort to not lose any games. So far, we’re achieving it and we have to keep going like this because we are doing well”, Zidane explained.

After beating Napoli in the Champions League, now the team needs to focus in La Liga: “We cannot play every three days in the same way, with the same intensity. Sometimes things get complicated and it’s normal. We are motivated to win both titles but La Liga ix very important this year and this is what we want. There are games where people could think that we’re not giving a lot of importance to La Liga, but we’re convinced and we know that this is our day to day routine”.

The French manager didn’t want to talk about the amazing comeback of Barcelona against PSG or if the Blaugranas are now more dangerous than before. Zizou also explained that Morata suffered a problem in the training session but he’ll be available tomorrow.

Zidane also spoke about the important players of the squad: “Cristiano Ronaldo and Ramos are the leaders. There are very important for the team. We know the personality of Sergio Ramos and his character and this is very helpful for young people with less experience. Both are leaders in their way”.

The French manager explained that they can also play with 4-4-2 even with the BBC although he prefers to play with three attackers. He also highlighted the importance of Casemiro, although he can be replaced, and Isco or James Rodríguez. Finally, he also made a summary of the season: “We are not doing a bad season but of course we can improve. Now we have to face the complicated situations and, the most important thing, is that we know that we have less time missing and every point is important”, Zidane finished.

Real Madrid v Betis Preview


Los Blancos were able to beat Napoli again in the Last 16 round of the Champions League but they suffered a lot, especially in the first half. Real Madrid risk the knock-out with a poor first half, but they reacted with Sergio Ramos goals. Again, the captain arise to save Real Madrid in a very bad moment.

Now they need to focus in La Liga and play well at Santiago Bernabéu after the poor performance against Las Palmas. It’s expected that Zidane makes some changes in the starting eleven with Lucas Vázquez, Morata and Isco ready for an opportunity. Varane and Coentrao are injured whereas Bale is suspended.

Betis arrived to Bernabéu after drawing on Wednesday against Deportivo in a game postponed for the bad weather. The Andalusian team is very inconsistent this season and we expect either a great game or a really poor game. Jonas Martín is the only injury concern.

Dalot-Porto-GI

Real Madrid and Barcelona are always fighting inside or outside the pitch. When a team is sad, the rival is happy and vice versa. The new battle has arisen for a young Portuguese pearl. His name is Diego Dalop, plays for Porto and he’s a right back.

Dalop is only 17 years old but he trains sometimes with Porto. Currently he’s playing in the young team of Porto but he has also played with the Portuguese national team under 17 and under 19. Actually, he played the final of the Euro U-17 last summer, where he beat Spain.

Dalop is also playing the Youth League with Porto and he’s calling the attention of the scouters of the big teams. Barcelona have spotted the youngster and they’ve even made an offer of €10M for the young star. However, the offer was rejected, according to the Spanish newspaper As.

The young talent has a release clause of €20M but he could leave the club for less money. Real Madrid have shown also interest in the young defender and Dalop is a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo. Another chance for Los Blancos.

Some years ago, Florentino Pérez changed the strategy. Now Real Madrid are signing young talents in Europe and giving them on loan some years, so they can go back to Spain and play for Los Blancos. Marco Asensio, Martin Odegaard, Jesús Vallejo or Pacheco are some examples of this new politics.

Actually, this new politics have been very successfully recently. In the first squad of Real Madrid we can see Morata, Carvajal, Casemiro or Asensio. All four left the club and after came back as great players.

Dalop could be the next option for the right back, especially now that Danilo could leave the club because he’s been linked with Juventus and Liverpool. Neto Neves, 19 years old, is also another interesting young player from Porto.

Eden-Hazard-GI

Eden Hazard is doing a great season with Chelsea and he’s about to lift the Premier League trophy. Real Madrid have thought about the Belgian again to replace James Rodríguez or Isco, who could leave the club at the end of the current season, as we reported. However, the playmaker is not willing to leave London.

According to the English newspaper Evening Standard, Eden Hazard is fully committed with Antonio Conte’s project and he wants to stay longer in England. Actually, the Belgian footballer is living one of his best season with Chelsea, much better than the last one with José Mourinho on the bench.

Antonio Conte arrived to London and changed the club and the formation. The results weren’t great at the beginning but the footballers understood soon enough to play with the new formation with three defenders. Also Hazard found himself very comfortable with the Italian manager and he is able to show his great skills with the ball.

Actually, according to The Daily Telegraph, Antonio Conte can even extend his contract with the Blues beyond 2019, when his contract expires. This would be a big project for Chelsea, so Hazard could link his future with his manager. At least, they could play together the Champions League next year and see if they are able to compete with the biggest European teams. At least, this year, they seemd quite happy and they can still win the Premier League and the FA Cup.

According to this information, Real Madrid will have to keep looking to find a replacement for Isco and James Rodríguez. However, the two Real Madrid footballers are unique in their position and it would be tough to find a replacement. It’d be easier to give them more minutes and try to make them feel comfortable in the club, so they could stay many years.

Eibar v Real Madrid

Real Madrid face Betis at Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday evening. Los Blancos will know the score of Barcelona by then, because they travel to La Coruña to face Deportivo in the afternoon. With this pressure, Zidane’s side needs to beat Betis, a team they already thrashed in Sevilla at the beginning of the season.

The manager is thinking about making a lot of changes in the team, as he did against Eibar. The result one week ago was superb and some players shone at a great level. For this reason, James Rodríguez, Álvaro Morata, Lucas Vázquez, Isco or Marco Asensio are waiting for an opportunity on Sunday. The problem is that there won’t be room for everybody.

Gareth Bale is still suspended so he’ll miss his second straight game in La Liga. Cristiano Ronado had some physical problems last week and after the battle of San Paolo he might rest as well. Even Karim Benzema could rest, because he’s the only one the attacking line playing the most recent games.

With this absences, Álvaro Morata should start the game and Lucas Vázquez is always the chosen one in the wing. In the playmaker area, Zidane has more problems. Isco, Lucas Vázquez and Marco Asensio are fighting for one position, presumably. Kroos or Modric will have some rest and even Casemiro, who has four yellow cards, might stay on the bench. At this point even Kovacic has some options to play replacing the Brazilian stopper.

There will be some changes in the defensive line as well. Nacho might have his opportunity in the left back or as a full back. Pepe is recovered but he might stay on the bench to have some rest, whereas Danilo could give some rest to Daniel Carvajal, one of the best footballers recently for Real Madrid.

Therefore, there are plenty of interrogations about the team that Zidane can choose to face Betis. The second line of players did great against Eibar and they deserve an opportunity. However, Real Madrid squad has a lot of quality, so some of them will have to wait on the bench again.

Xabi Alonso announced in his Social Media channels that he will retire at the end of the current season. The former Real Madrid player says goodbye to the world of football, becoming one of the most successful players in the Spanish history.

Xabi Alonso is 35 years old but he will retire in one of the best moments in his career. Actually, the midfielder is still in the starting eleven of Bayern Múnich and a key player for his coach, Carlo Ancelotti, like he showed at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening in the Champions League.

In his career, Xabi Alonso has won one World Cup and two Euro Cups with Spain, two Champions League (with Liverpool and Real Madrid), one FIFA Club World Cup, one La Liga title, two Bundesliga, two Copa del Rey or one FA Cup among other trophies.

In his career, he’s played for Real Sociedad, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. With Los Blancos he was one of the most important players with José Mourinho, helping to win La Liga of the records with the Portuguese manager. The year after Mourinho’s departure, Xabi Alonso won the Champions League trophy with Real Madrid although he missed the final because he was suspended. All Real Madrid fans remember his nerves and the run when Los Blancos won the trophy. It was actually a shock for many supporters when he left the team in 2015 to join Guardiola’s Bayern Munich.

Xabi Alonso is also an icon for Liverpool and Real Sociedad supporters. He has always said that his beloved team is the Basque Country club. Everybody thought that he could play the last season of his career in San Sebastián but Múnich will be his last destinations. He can still retire winning the treble with Bayern, because the German team could still win the Champions League, Bundesliga and DFB Pokal.

The right back Danilo could be one of the options for Florentino Pérez to earn some cash and after invest it in other players. The Brazilian footballer has disappointed in these two seasons with the Spanish giants and his departure is more than likely.

According to the Italian website Calcio Mercato, Liverpool and Juventus are fighting to sign Danilo in the next summer transfer window. The Brazilian is now always on the bench and Daniel Carvajal is the owner of this spot in the defensive line. He’s only 25 years old, so he could find a top club to fight for a position in the starting eleven. Besides, Real Madrid can already cash in some money, so the options for him to leave are very high.

According to the Italian site, Juventus think that Dani Alves could leave the club to go to China and Lichsteiner is not young any more. For this reason, Danilo could be a good option for the Italian giants. On the other hand, Liverpool need more competitors for Nathaniel Clyne, so Danilo could improve the quality of the squad.

Real Madrid paid €31.5M for Danilo two years ago. In the first season, Danilo started the season in the line-up, playing up to 24 games in La Liga. However, Carvajal started to improve and won the position, playing the most important games of the season, including the Champions League final.

This season, Carvajal is the owner of the right back position and Danilo is only playing to give some rest to the Spaniard. Besides, the Brazilian has completed some poor performances, like the one against Sevilla, scoring an own goal. Danilo has played only 9 games in La Liga this season.

However, if Real Madrid decide to sell him the prize would be high. Porto signed him for €13M from Santos in 2011. Los Blancos paid a high transfer fee for the player and Florentino Pérez expects to get some money out of him in this transfer window.

Sevilla are fighting for La Liga this year and the Andalusian club is only one step away from the quarter-finals of the Champions League. They’ve never arrived that far in the competitions but they have still to beat Leicester City in the Last 16 Round.

After three straight Europa League titles, Unai Emery left the club and Jorge Sampaoli arrived. The Argentinian coach is doing a great job with the new signings of Nasri, Jovetic or ‘Mudo’ Vázquez. The man who made that possible was Monchi, the sports director.

Florentino Pérez wants to sign Monchi in summer, according to the Spanish newspaper MARCA. The former goalkeeper has been thinking of leaving the club in the last months. Actually, he almost left Sevilla last summer because he’s very stress with his beloved team.

It looks like Italy will be his final destination. Roma were negotiating with him and James Pallotta, the owner of Roma even had some meetings with Monchi. Inter Milan also are interested in Monchi, but they’ll have to fight with Real Madrid to get him on board their projects.

Florentino Pérez wants another person to take full responsibility of the sports affairs of the club. Since Jorge Valdano’s departure, in José Mourinho’s era, the role of the ‘sports director’ has been vacant. Monchi could be the perfect fit for this role because he knows the Spanish football and he’ll be close enough to his city, Sevilla.

This is not the first time that Florentino Pérez try to convince Monchi. However, in the previous ones, Monchi had a contract signed with Sevilla and he was hesitating whether to change the club or not. Now, it looks pretty obvious that Monchi wants to start a new project and Madrid could be his choice.

Isco Alarcón

Los Blancos went through the quarter-finals in the Champions League but Zinedine Zidane chose the BBC to play in the attacking line. Again, some important Real Madrid players like James Rodríguez, Isco or Morata stayed on the bench. For this reason, the rumours about some of the players leaving the club were triggered again.

The French newspaper L’Equipe published today that PSG are already in talks with Isco’s agents. According the to the newspaper, Unai Emery would like to sign the Spanish playmaker for the next season with the goal of creating a much more powerful team.

PSG play tonight at Camp Nou and the showed in the first leg that the French team is a really good squad. However, the goal of PSG is to continue growing in the European competitions. For this reason, they are already looking into the market to see if they can improve a great squad.

Isco, whose contract ends in 2018, is a target for many important team. Especially Juventus and PSG are showing some interest in the Spanish playmaker. Isco is doing a great season with Real Madrid, but he’s not having the minutes he deserves. Especially in the Champions League, because he’s the second player with less minutes in this competition, only behind Mariano Díaz.

Isco is impressing in La Liga when he has the chance to play. When Casemiro or Luka Modric were injured, he had the opportunity to play. His appearances against Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona were great, and he helped the team to obtain good results.

The renewal of Isco’s contract is still on hold. The club wants him to continue but he has some doubts. At the end of the season, Isco has to decide whether to stay in Spain or leave the club looking for more opportunities.
