In the 35th minute he deflected a shot from Modric and in the 43rd, a shot from Bale

The same media also affirm that the Portuguese has received several offers since he is no longer coach of the ‘red devils’, but there have been none of his interest. The Portuguese would only accept offers from a large team, and currently all have a technician. Of all the greats, the bench that seems to be more on the tightrope is that of Zidane, who has not had a good run in this second stage at the Bernabéu.

And it is that Mourinho has always had in mind to return to Madrid. Seeing what is happening in the White House, with the poor results and the failed “revolution”, the crisis is evident. The sacred cows continue to rule the dressing room, the game is not the desired one and the fans want someone who can destroy that hierarchy and that is, precisely, Mourinho.

PSG’s bet to replace Neymar

Real Madrid press for Neymar

In that same sense, Mourino would also be waiting for the possible arrival of Neymar. If the Brazilian finally signed, he would bring a spark of hope to the team and his quality would definitely be differential. Neymar, for now, is the only one who can revive Zidane’s Madrid. And in the event that he doesn’t, Mourinho will always be as an alternative, waiting in the shadows to take the step forward.

Zinedine Zidane has problems accumulating. The coach already hinted after the draw against Valladolid last Saturday that James Rodríguez was not one hundred percent physically. The Colombian finished the match, in which he was substituted, with discomfort that, after undergoing medical tests, has been confirmed to be due to a muscle injury.

James Rodriguez

Real Madrid has issued a medical statement this Monday in which it explains that "After the tests carried out today on our player James Rodríguez by Real Madrid’s medical services, he was diagnosed with a muscle injury in the right soleus. Evolution pending".

The footballer is ruled out to face Villarreal in the third day of LaLiga Santander and it seems unlikely that he could be at the disposal of Colombia for the next national team break. The coffee growers are measured against Brazil on September 7 and Venezuela on the 11th. 

Zidane: "Until August 31, everything can happen"

Zidane: "We score, they tie us and that makes us angry"

The return of James, who played a good game against Valladolid while he was on the pitch, has not been one hundred percent positive. After a two-month inactivity (his last game was on June 28 with Colombia), the Madridista has accused the lack of competition. The Colombian joins the injured Hazard, Brahim, Asensio, Rodrygo, Mendy and Jovic.

Without Hazard, injured in the left thigh, but with Bale … Zinedine Zidane has surprised Balaídos with the presence of the Welshman (also Vinicius) in the starting lineup when, remember, Gareth was a departure demanded by the French coach from the first The moment he returned to the Madrid bench. And for ‘Zizou’ his bet against Celta has gone well, where he has achieved the first win.

Incidents

Match corresponding to the first day of the league championship played at the Balaídos stadium.

Real Madrid start the championship with a victory that, without a doubt, will serve to clear up all the doubts that it had raised in the preseason and, in addition, will reinforce the coach’s project. Despite not displaying a spectacular game, it has been a very serious team, with a lot of skill and with that bit of luck at the right moment to unbalance the balance in their favor. The punch shown has been decisive in the final result

GOAL AND FIRST CONTROVERSY

Bale has been key for the Whites to open the scoring. An action on the left (band changed) of the Welsh footballer ended with a low cross that Benzema, entering from behind, sent to the bottom of Rubén’s goal. 0-1 in the 11th minute. Goal in Madrid’s first clear approach. The effectiveness that was criticized so much last season has appeared in Balaídos. Quite a blow for the locals.

What has not changed with the start of the new championship is the controversy surrounding the decisions that the referees make when they referee the Madridistas. The play of the goal comes from an action by Casemiro that the Catalan Estrada Fernández has not interpreted as a foul. The protests in Balaídos have been spectacular.

Benzema’s goal has given way to a phase of play in which Zidane’s pupils, without risking but very well organized behind, have not struggled to maintain their advantage on the scoreboard. Without developing a precious or exciting game, they were perfectly controlling the situation.

AND THE VAR APPEARS

Estrada Fernández has continued to be the center of the target for Galician fans. In minute 22 they protested a foul by Modric on Denis Suárez who, after the bar set by the referee, was worthy of a yellow card.

Celta did not give any sign of danger until minute 30. Aspas appeared on the right wing and his center was touched by Varane enough to prevent ‘Toro’ Fernández from finishing at pleasure. An action that has served to wake up the visitors who have put Rubén in trouble. In the 35th minute he deflected a shot from Modric and in the 43rd, a shot from Bale.

In added time the VAR has appeared to save Real Madrid. Odriozola has complicated his existence by losing a ball under pressure from Denis Suárez; the ball reaches Aspas who assists Brais Mendez to beat Courtois at will. Balaídos has exploded with happiness and while the Celta players celebrated it, the referee received the tip of the VAR.

Goal annulled before the incredulity of all. It turns out that Iago Aspas could be a few inches ahead, offside. The VAR had just been Zidane’s best defense.

again the VAR and … Kroos

The start of the second half was intense on an offensive level, with actions for both teams. Benzema was able to achieve the second and Aspas made the tie. But the most momentous move came in the 55th minute with Modric being sent off for stepping on Denis Suárez. Estrada Fernández, notified by the VAR, has reviewed the action and has not hesitated to show the red card.

The party has entered a very different phase. Balaídos began to believe in the comeback, especially when in minute 57 a point-blank header from Araújo was cleared by Courtois. A paradón that has avoided the tie. Celta woke up from sleep in the 60th minute with a goal from Kroos. The German has taken a spectacular shot from afar. The 0-2 left everything decided.

Celta have never lowered their arms, even though they conceded the third goal in the 79th minute, the work of Lucas Vázquez who had just entered the field. In the instant minute he has achieved the goal of honor. Losada, a youth who debuted today, has scored the local goal.

Valderrama: "James will not play even with 24 injured"

In Serbia they assure that Madrid could yield to Luka Jovic

The first conclusions to the meeting is that this Madrid is serious, very serious, and has recovered the gunpowder in attack.

James Rodríguez has reversed his situation since he joined Real Madrid training on July 29, after Bayern Munich ruled out the option of signing him for 42 million euros. 25 days have passed and the Colombian has changed Zidane’s opinion: “He is in good shape and I am happy to have him on the squad.” Modric’s sanction gives him the possibility to play this Saturday against Valladolid, which would mean returning to defend the white jersey 290 days after his last game. It was against Sevilla on May 14, 2017.

James Rodriguez Zinedine Zidane

James returned on tiptoe, feeling that his passage through Valdebebas would be short-lived despite the fact that he wanted to stay. He is passing the test based on humility, 1x bet mobile work, discipline and, above all, stating that his quality can be useful to the white team. They have favored him due to poor results and Asensio’s long-term injury in the preseason that opens up space for him in the team.

NOT A MINUTE

The Colombian is realistic and knows that his departure is not ruled out, but he is also aware that each day that passes is a step forward in his favor. At the moment he has not played a minute in the five games played by his team since he returned, four in the preseason and one in the League, although against Celta Zidane sat him on the bench leaving Valverde and Brahim in the stands, who had just finished get out of injury.

It was the first real message that Zidane’s words were not a simple pose. That he is really happy with his work, with his good disposition and because he is a first-line player who when plugged in can give the team a lot.
