Zinedine Zidane spoke at press conference after the victory Los Blancos achieved at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez against Getafe. The French manager highlighted the importance of this triumph, Isco and Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance and other key topics.

Zidane started the press conference talking about yesterday’s game: ” We started the game very well because we had several chances to score more goals, but in the second half we relaxed a bit, but it was important for us to get our three points before the Atletico-Barcelona match”, Zidane said about the game against Getafe.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored for first time in La Liga this season and it was the goal gave the victory to Los Blancos in the last minutes: “It was important for Cristiano to score his first goal. He is our reference in the attack, but I’m also happy with the performance of other player such as Isco and Marcelo”, the French manager said about Cristiano Ronaldo.

The French manager did many changes in the line up after the international break and the unusual players did once again a great match:”After the international break, there a lot of players who have played key games for Russia World Cup. I’m going to need all my players  because we are going to play a lot of games in a short period of time and we must take advantage of our complete squad”, Zidane affirmed.

Isco entered the pitch in the second half and in only 20 minutes he gave the assist to Cristiano, proving that he is living his best moment as a player since his arrival to Madrid:”We need Isco and all the player but it’s true that he played very good and provided the decisive pass for Cristiano in our second goal”, the French manager said.

In yesterday’s line-up we can highlight the presence of Achraf in the right back and Marcos Llorente playing as a stopper replacing Casemiro:” Achraf is a ver offensive player and he is physically working a lot, while Marcos Llorente give us balance in the midfield and the possibility to give rest to Casemiro”, the French manager said about the two young players who included in yesterday’s game.

Real Madrid won 1-2 in the 8th week of the regular season against Getafe at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, in another derby of the Spanish capital. This was a very important game for Los Blancos because Getafe are doing a good season in their return to La Liga and Real Madrid had to keep Barcelona’s track in La Liga.

Zinedine Zidane decided to do many changes in the line up thinking in the Champions League clash against Tottenham next Tuesday. The french manager introduced the youngster Acrhaf in the right back, Marcos Llorente playing as a stopper replacing Casemiro and Kiko Casilla between the sticks. We can highlight that this was the first time since Cardiff’s final, that Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema coincide in the pitch.

The match started with Real Madrid having the ball possession because Getafe are a side who likes to defend in their own pith with the goal of steal the ball quickly and look for a counterattack.  In the 10th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo had a great chance to open the scoreboard after a brilliant move of Benzema, but Guaita prevented it with a good save. Los Blancos couldn’t find the way to create danger because the team managed by Bordalás were playing with a lot of intensity, doing numerous faults and without letting Real Madrid play with continuity.

Finally, in the 39th minute Benzema scored the first goal for Real Madrid in a very good play, finishing with a shot into the bottom corner. These were very good news for the team managed by Zidane because there were not many minutes remaining to finish the first half.

The second half started with Getafe letting more spaces in the defense because they had to attack and play more offensive. In the 55th minute the team managed by Bordalás achieved the goal that gave them the draw with an unlucky own goal of Marcos Llorente in a possible offside. Now it was the moment to have patience and control the game because Getafe were growing with the pass of the minutes and they were having certain danger in the counterattacks.

In the 71st minute Zidane decided to do two changes replacing Marcelo and Lucas Vázquez by Isco and The Hernández, looking for more dynamism and verticality in the attack. Los Blancos were having many mistakes in the defense and they weren’t creating clear chances to score the goal of the victory, so the French manager decided to do his last substitution replacing Benzema by Mayoral. Suddenly, in the 85th minute Cristiano Ronaldo scored the goal of the triumph with a great finish after a wonderful assist of Isco, that in only 10 minutes he changed the game, being the player who connected the midfield with the attack.

Finally, Real Madrid achieved the victory in a very tough game against a team who is very solid and plays with a lot of intensity. Now Los Blancos must focus in the Champions League game against Tottenham Hotspur at Santiago Bernabéu next Tuesday.

Real Madrid need to win to keep or shorten the distance with FC Barcelona. The Blaugranas visit Wanda Metropolitano, so they might lose some points in the Spanish capital. For this reason, this weekend Zidane’s side has a very good chance to get closer to the Catalan team.

However, Coliseum Alfonso Pérez is not an easy ground for Los Blancos. Real Madrid lost several times in Getafe and this newly promoted team was almost able to get some points from Barcelona and Sevilla early in the season.

Besides, Zinedine Zidane cannot count on Keylor Navas, who got injured with his national team. Theo Hernández, Marcelo or Karim Benzema can travel with the rest of the squad with the intention of getting another victory in Getafe before receiving Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League groups stage.

Zidane started talking about the number of changes he will do in the line up for this game after the international matches for the Russia World Cup: “Maybe we will do some changes in the starting 11 because we have seven games in a short period of time and we also must take advantage of the great squad we have. Now we must only focus in tomorrow’s game because it won’t be easy after seeing the good season Getafe are doing in their return to La Liga”, Zidane said.

The journalists didn’t’ doubt about asking the French manager what’s happening with the injuries of Gareth Bale:” I don’t really know why he gets injured so often, I’m not a doctor or a physiotherapist. I trust the people who work here, but I cannot do anything. I hope he recovers soon because he is the first one who is sad with this situation”, Zidane affirmed about Bale’s injuries.

This game will be the 100th match of Zidane with Real Madrid and this is what he thinks about his two years managing the best team of the world: “These are amazing numbers, but we must think day by day. I can affirm that my best moment here was when we won La Liga last season because it’s a very tough competition, where you have to maintain a regularity and that’s not never easy. I enjoy every day here because it’s the team where I want to be”, he said.

The medias asked Zidane if he will sign with Barcelona in the future and this is what he answered:” Go and sign for Barça? I’m white in my heart. I had the same situation when I was a player in this team but I affirmed several times that I didn’t want to have an experience in another side”, Zidane affirmed about his signing with another team

Milan want to improve even more their squad with the goal of being once again a powerful team of Europe, after the important singings they have done in summer. Despite these multimillionaire incorporations, the Italian side is not having the level that it was expected and the owners are already searching players for the winter transfer market to complete the squad and climb positions in the league. Montella wants to have a leader in his midfielder and he is thinking in the possible singing of Dani Ceballos, a player who has arrive to Madrid just two months ago after being in the MVP in the under 21 Euro last summer.

The Italian team will offer Real Madrid a big amount of money or if he can go on loan to Milan with the aim of having more minutes and grow as a player. The young Spanish playmaker  is not having many opportunities to shy since he arrived to the Spanish capital and he has already scored two goals in only six games, adding 111 minutes. Despite the few minutes he has played, he has already shown his talent and it looks like he is going to have a more important role throughout the season.

 

Real Madrid and Zinedine Zidane think that he can help the team during the season, as he did in the sixth week of La Liga against Alavés, where the Andalusian player scored both goals of Los Blancos, proving that he is capable to triumph in such a great team as Real Madrid.

The French manager has already said the he can be an important player in the squad and that he will have more minutes and opportunities to shy  and show his great quality: “Ceballos can play in many positions of the pitch and that’s very important for us because we must rotate during the season. He is a very technical player and when he has the ball he makes good decisions. He is working very well and he is going to have opportunities for sure“, Zidane said about Ceballos in a press conference .

Now, Ceballos must value if he wants to wait and be patience looking for minutes of he wants to be the leader of Milan playing in the usual starting 11 and having an important role if we compare it with the one his is currently having at Madrid.

Getafe is a town near Madrid, only 10 kilometres south from the Spanish capital. Many Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid fans live in the south of the region, because the team didn’t have a great tradition in Spanish football. However, since they were firstly promoted to Primera Division in 2004, the Azulones (Blue Team) only were relegated once, two seasons ago.

Despite Getafe is not a big team in Spanish football, they’ve achieved great things in the last years. They were able to reach twice the Copa del Rey final. In one of these years, Getafe thrashed FC Barcelona (4-0) in their stadium. Besides, they also played in Europe, almost knocking out Bayern Munich in 2008. Luca Toni avoided the humiliation in the last minute.

For Real Madrid it wasn’t an easy stadium neither. Their first visit was in 2004 and Los Blancos lost (2-1) due to the goals scored by Albiol and Riki, whereas Solari found the net for the Galácticos. In 2005 (1-0) and in 2008 (3-1), Real Madrid also lost at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, whereas in 2006 they could only draw (1-1). In 2012, Los Blancos were also defeated despite taking the lead (2-1) with a goal scored by Higuaín.

Since that visit, Los Blancos have won all the games, including their last trip in 2016 (1-5). As you can see, this is a very tough ground for Los Blancos, although the stadium was named after a former Real Madrid player, Alfonso Pérez.

Actually, the ground is the fifth with worst results for Los Blancos in La Liga after Camp Nou (FC Barcelona), Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán (Sevilla), Estadio de la Cerámica (Villarreal) and Riazor (Deportivo La Coruña).

This season, Getafe were able to put in difficulties both FC Barcelona and Sevilla. Both giants won the game in the last minutes of the game. Besides, Villarreal were thrashed (4-0) in the last game played in that stadium.

The World Cup is the perfect window for the top players. Every four years, we can see all the stars fighting for the most prestigious cup in football. These days, most of the stars got their ticket to Russia, so we’ll be able to see Leo Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Isco, Toni Kroos or James Rodríguez in the World Cup again.

Florentino Pérez could have signed a new Galáctico this summer and Kylian Mbappé was the chosen one. However, the president didn’t want to disturb the dressing room or sale Gareth Bale, so he finally decided to not buy any top player, but only youngsters. This can change this summer, especially if we take in consideration what he did in the past.

The president always took advantage of the World Cup to sign big players for Real Madrid. In 2002, Florentino tied Ronaldo Nazario, who won the cup for Brazil in Korea and Japan. Several years later, in 2014, the president stole Toni Kroos from Bayern Munich and he also signed James Rodríguez, who scored the best goal of the tournament and lead Colombia in the tournament.

Perhaps this year Florentino also sign the star of the tournament. At the moment, there are several names that are very appealing for the president. For instance, we’ll see in the pitch Harry Kane (Tottenham – England), Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich – Poland), Antoine Griezmann (Atlético Madrid – France) or Edinson Cavani (PSG – Uruguay). However, other interesting names such as Patrick-Emery Aubameyang or Alexis Sánchez cannot show off in Russia because they don’t get the qualification.

The fact is that Florentino Pérez has changed his policy of transfers at Real Madrid. Now he’s looking for young talents and, for instance, Los Blancos got the stars of the last U-21 tournament: Jesús Vallejo, Dani Ceballos or Marco Asensio. Some of them were signed even before the tournament but were given on loan to improve their performance.

Portugal beat (2-0) Switzerland in Lisbon and they got the ticket to the World Cup. They needed to win to top their group and they didn’t fail thanks to the goals scored by Djourou (OG) and André Silva. Cristiano Ronaldo will play his fourth World Cup.

However, the Real Madrid striker didn’t have his best evening. He wasn’t able to score despite having one very clear opportunity, so he wasn’t the topscorer of the qualification stage for the World Cup. Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has this honour with 16 goals. Cristiano was able to score 15, a great number of nets.

The best players of the world have to be in Russia and Cristiano earned his ticket in a very difficult group. Now, the Real Madrid striker can focus in La Liga, where he had difficulties to score yet. In this international break, Cristiano scored one goal against Andorra.

Cristiano Ronaldo joins Keylor Navas in the Real Madrid players list to get the ticket to the World Cup. Luka Modric has to wait, because Croatia have to play a playoff to qualify. Besides, Gareth Bale will miss the World Cup after the defeat suffered by Wales at home against Ireland.

The next World Cup in Russia will see another fight between Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Both were risking to miss the World Cup, but the Barcelona star scored a hat-trick against Ecuador (1-3), so Argentina qualified for Russia. The former Real Madrid player James Rodríguez also got his ticket with Colombia after a draw in Peru.

Now, Zinedine Zidane will have the opportunity to prepare the game against Getafe with all his players. The only problem is that Keylor Navas returned injured with Costa Rica, so he won’t be ready to face Getafe on Saturday. Hopefully, the goalkeeper can be fit to meet Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League.

Many Real Madrid players were on the edge to go to the World Cup. One of them was Keylor Navas, who got the ticket after the draw in Costa Rica against Honduras. With the duty accomplished, the national team has allowed Keylor Navas to go back to Spain.

However, Keylor Navas cannot join the group. The goalkeeper is injured and, apparently, he has some pain in the foot, so it’s very likely that he cannot play in Getafe this Saturday (16:15, UK Time). Kiko Casilla should defend the goal in that game.

Casilla was also the goalkeeper in the game against Levante after the last international break. Keylor Navas has always to travel many kilometers, so it’s a good opportunity to give him some rest before facing Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League in a very tough game.

Apart from Keylor Navas, Zinedine Zidane has also recovered Toni Kroos. The German coach, Joachim Low, gave him freedom to go back to Spain and he’s already training with the group.

Little by little, Zidane has more resources available. Marcelo, Karim Benzema and Theo Hernández should be available to play on Saturday against Getafe. Besides, Jesús Vallejo can also make his season debut, so the only defender injured will be Dani Carvajal, who doesn’t have any return date.

The international break leaves also the injury of Gareth Bale. The Welshman won’t play the World Cup this summer because his national team lost against Ireland. Besides, he suffered another muscular injured, so he should miss the next month of competition.

Real Madrid need to win against Getafe on Saturday despite the absences. It will be a very tough game because the South Madrid club was about to steal some points from Barcelona one month ago. Although they are a newly promoted team, Getafe won’t be an easy territory to win before facing the Spurs in Europe.
