With its new triumph Real Madrid reached among the 16 consecutive last season and currently, equaling the Barcelona of the 2010-2011 season, which achieved 16 victories in the same edition of the League.

Without Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, reserved for their physical problems, Zidane opted for Lucas Vázquez and Marco Asensio to accompany Benzema in attack.

- Injury Piatti and Casemiro -

The game started rough. Before 20 minutes had to withdraw with physical problems the Argentine Pablo Piatti in the premises and the Brazilian Casemiro at Real Madrid. Les replaced respectively Alvaro Vazquez and German Toni Kroos .

In the first part the best of local occasion was for the Brazilian Leo Baptistão (10), who shot at the foot of goalkeeper Kiko Casilla after meeting the ball on a poor clearance by the defense. Later playmaker headed just wide a cross from the right.

On the white side almost no opportunities were recorded. But James Rodriguez appeared at the right time. He beat two rivals for more claw technique and beat Diego Lopez with a cross shot with his left foot.

Around the time of play Benzema grazed the goal with a maneuver in a play which he himself initiated. After a Asensio left the ball was placed with a touch without dropping shot volley, but his former partner Diego Lopez exhibited reflexes and cleared the danger.

Ten minutes later the Frenchman made no mistake on his second chance. After a very well assembled play, Lucas Vázquez crossed from the right and Benzema came with power to mark the first touch.

Transfer Market: James Rodriguez, 'Gabigol' and Lucas Perez, the names of the day

James Rodríguez was an unused substitute in the final of the European Super Cup Real Madrid with a lot of absences, which could cause you to think about leaving the team. In addition, Atletico Madrid have made a bid for Brazilian striker Gabigol and Lucas Perez, who was left out of the squad in the Teresa Herrera, could end up in Leciester.

The Real Madrid won his first title of the season after beating Sevilla in the European Super Cup.

One of the surprises in the lineup of Zinedine Zidane (which were many) was left on the bench James Rodriguez while others were apparently alternate headlines.

James Rodriguez left after 72 minutes and the truth is that did little. He did not get many balls, he worked in the recovery of the ball and had a good scoring chance in overtime that solved Sergio Rico .

Six players of Real Madrid do gym work

Real Madrid , after his arrival last night in New York, began working with a view to the last pre - season friendly match will play on tour in the United States , against Bayern of Munich.

Sergio Ramos , Frenchman Karim Benzema , Croatian Lucas Modrid, Isco , Colombian James Rodriguez, Marcos Llorente, did aerobic and strength work in the gym JW Marriott Essex House New York, where he is staying and is concentrated Real Madrid.

The six players seek tuning for the official start of the new season the team will next August 9 when he faces Sevilla in the Super Cup in Trondheim ( Norway ).

Ramos, Modric and James, who later joined the team after serving their respective commitments with their national teams in the European Championship and the Copa America Centenario, have not yet played any minute in the previous two friendly matches already completed the Merengues .

French coach of Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane, confirmed before the game that the team played against Chelsea and won 3-2, it was "important" that both Ramos and James Modrid and they had minute meeting Wednesday that will play against Bayern Munich at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.

Benzema could not play against Chelsea when he felt discomfort in his right hip and Zidane admitted he is concerned about the evolution of the player because they need minutes into the game if you then want to have him for the match against the new Sevilla who runs coach Argentine Jorge Sampaoli.

Benzema has been working with the physios team face his recovery and hope within the technical picture of the team is that it can be ready for the match against Bayern Munich, who now heads the Italian Carlo Ancelotti.

However, Zidane was also clear in his statements by pointing out that it was very "important" Benzeama had minutes before the German team otherwise participating in the Super Cup would be very questionable.

James Rodriguez: "I hope to play more in the Real Madrid"

James Rodriguez expressed his willingness to continue at Real Madrid , although the Colombian midfielder did not hide his desire to have more minutes on the team Zinedine Zidane.

James determination to stay in the Spanish capital club merengue made its sports schemes rethink facing the 2016-17 season and decided to retain skilful South American footballer.

In an interview for Caracol TV while enjoying your vacation, the coffee international said: " I'm staying at Real Madrid , . I will make it here I hope to play more and have a good season at a high level , " said the former player Porto and Monaco , among others.

And at the international level, Rodriguez said: "In the selection of Colombia are six hard matches to go to Russia is what we all want."

On the other hand, consulted by the admiration the Colombian people for him, the dorsal '10' Real Madrid recalled his time amateur: "One child was also, I put myself in their shoes. I also feel what I felt. "

They have offered 85 million for me, but I stay at Real Madrid

James Rodriguez spoke very clearly about his future in an interview with sports daily Marca. The Colombian, who had been the center of much speculation, will continue in theReal Madrid next season.

"I will fight to earn my place in Madrid. That's my dream. I will stay at Real Madrid, will succeed here," says the '10'.

Recognizes that arrived offers for him: "I know that the club has reached 85 million bid for me, but I'm not leaving."

James thus ends all speculation about a possible departure this summer of the set target. The Colombian follow orders Zidane at least one more season.

What will happen with James for next season?

This is the image: James with Colombia flag at the waist. His staring, looking for someone who embrace and celebrate. In the field of San Siro stadium in Milan , his teammates celebrate their lungs obtaining the title of the Champions League . His face gives him away. It is not entirely happy, his smile hides something, the season for him and despite winning the Champions ended, knows that was not him at all well.

If you watched the game on television, surely they have noticed that situation. The joy of James we all know and we saw at its best in the World Cup in Brazil was not the same as showed today in the celebrations of Real Madrid .

And today it ends a season with ups and downs for James, lower than high if I may point. For in addition to the football downturn that had since the beginning of the season, extrasport scandals and media pressure affected him in performance with Real Madrid.

First it was Rafael Benitez who did not put enough play. After his departure and subsequent arrival of Zinedine Zidane , it seemed that the way is cleared for permanent fixture, but no, James continued banking and banking face today in Milan so reflected.

And it is that a player 80 million euros, the best teams in the world covet, sitting on the bench and waiting for the moment to play, gives sadness and in the case of James: despair.

What was seen today in the face 10 of the merengue team is a true reflection that something is wrong with him, or in his relationship with Real Madrid, which so much has been said that you can leave bound for another club .

James won the Champions League, but will for statistics because very few minutes and had played an absent role. In addition, it became clear that for Zidane, the Colombian is not your first choice. Above it are Isco and Lucas Vasquez. Players who could kill the future of James at Real Madrid.

That's why it is worth asking if James takes place in the Real Madrid of Zidane. Because of continuing in the same vein this season happened, what is coming will not be the best for the Colombian.

Resta expect will bring in the career of James Rodriguez for next season, who has said is non - transferable for Real Madrid. But we must see if it suits more a change or continue waiting for their chance to win once and for all ownership in the team merengue.

That does not happen the same as Kaka , Robinho or Özil. Players first level, which did not yield expected with white shirt and ended up leaving the club by the back door. James has everything to make history at Real Madrid, but must prioritize its real possibilities of play.

James Rodriguez no longer stand to Real Madrid

James Rodriguez did not play a single minute in the match against Manchester City

James Rodriguez, Colombian striker of Real Madrid, is more outside than inside the Real Madrid. The latest decision of Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid coach, not to give a single minute in the match against Manchester City , despite not having Cristiano Ronaldo and lose Benzema injury , has been the lace has ended the patience of James Rodriguez.

James Rodriguez does not count Zinedine Zidane and his agent Jorge Mendes and her team are looking for . Zidane still choosing Lucas Vázquez and Isco as alternatives ahead of Colombia.

A demonstration that relations between Zidane and James Rodriguez are not good and that Real Madrid will soon seek a solution.

Their numbers in the Champions League are just one example of how little account James Rodriguez for Zidane.

While last season played 9 games, eight of the owner, and played 705 minutes, scoring one goal; in today he has only played four games, three as a starter, playing 242 minutes, during which he has also scored a goal.

UNBEARABLE
On the other hand, in parallel, the Colombian means 'The two banks' reported this week that "Jorge Mendes, the representative of James Rodriguez is tired of receiving calls from Jose Angel Sanchez, right hand of Florentino Perez, complaining of constant indiscipline player ... was the first to realize that the Colombian was opened record for their discipline, which in the dressing room is no longer so dear, that his statements after the stellar performance he did against Ecuador were not well received and in August, when begins the 2016-2017 season, will move to Madrid ".

A sign that the future of James Rodriguez does not pass through Madrid.

One criminal, for an alleged crime against Traffic Safety, which is still stuck in the Madrid courts of Plaza de Castilla; and serious breach of disobedience or resistance to authority . The latter, which is governed by the new Public Safety Act (which came into force on July 1), is now stipulating the sanction disclosed by this newspaper. A James has been applied Article 36.6 of the regulations, and proposes the penalty of 10,400 euros for a serious breach, minimally, but the maximum amount, which provides for fines of between 601 and 10,400 euros.

James Rodriguez Day, James night

Another case Ozil

The first season James was immaculate: goals, assists and good game at close range. But in his second year of his white-sporting life he is taking all the headlines. As at the time Ozil, Madrid's nightlife is mistaking her target.

No shortened holiday: Benitez takes tuition

James began the season crooked. After an initial intense campaign in the Madrid and the dispute of the Copa America in Chile, the Colombian awaited him four weeks of vacation. Benitez asked him to cut its day off seven days, but James refused. That decision marked his replacement and his bad relationship with Rafa.

Two months out

The bad news continued for James after his unexpected substitution at the start of the League. The Colombian was injured with his selection in early September and took two months to recover. A muscle tear in his left thigh, which fell when he was almost recovered, kept him out until November.

Whistles hobby

With the departure of Benitez and the arrival of Zidane, the situation James took a radical turn. Nonexistent to Rada, the French coach has returned to the ownership but James has not responded to the confidence of Zidane.Their level remains fairly discreet and the Bernabeu gave her a big puff to be changed in the derby.

The Government delegate in Madrid, Concepción Dancausa, confirmed Tuesday that he has sanctioned the Real Madrid player James Rodriguez, with a fine of 10,400 euros for a crime of disobedience to the police.According Dancausa forces and security bodies have fulfilled their obligation. "It has been punished him for failing to obey the officers who tried to stop him several times, without him to do case and taking refuge at Real Madrid," she added.

Dancausa, who was speaking at a press after the Local Security presided in Alcorcón press, explained that to put the amount payable was taken into account certain circumstances which reflects the law as the economic capacity of the person or the effect it has on society.

"There is no doubt that James is a well known person and therefore which go at a speed higher than allowed is a bad example for all of us. In addition, he acknowledged that he had gone faster, and therefore it took "detailed.

On these facts, it has been applied the maximum penalty within the minimum, equivalent to 10,400 euros, paying them before the March 8 would remain in the middle, but has the same amount of time to file an appeal, if so you wish. "For now, the Delegation have no argument, we do not know so if it has or not. Nor do we know if you have paid, because that is entered in the Finance Ministry, "he underlined.

Zidane: James is not a problem

Real Madrid played a final in the City of Valencia. Zidane has told the players. For equipment no more or less important matches in the league. A four points above Atletico in the standings, two distance below Villarreal, for the coach and his staff every day is crucial. The club will face Celta, Villarreal, Valencia and Sevilla at the Bernabeu. Everything is played in direct duels. And suffer casualties Benzema, Ramos Carvajal, Bale (who wants to have minutes against Celta on Saturday) and Modric, who suffers an injury to his left ankle.

"Now you see all black, but two and a half months saw everything white. I have to talk to the players to pull this off, "said the technician to assess the situation. The whole team was wrong in the derby, except Keylor, Carvajal, Kroos (unsuccessfully fought to the end) and Danilo. The audience whistled James and Isco. 

ABC asked by the Colombian midfielder, who has been fined ten thousand euros for his career in the M-40, pursued by the police and is not performing in this campaign: "James is working and things are not coming out. I've talked to him, usually I speak, and I just hope that the situation varies. James and Isco are those reported by the press now, but for me are all that need improvement. Must play better Christian, you must play better Ramos. All. Not a problem James and Isco alone. "

The coach said that Modric will not play tomorrow, " Luka has an injury and will not play." Travel Borja Mayoral and has options to jump into the field: "I am delighted with the party of Borja in the derby. He's prepared".

He analyzed the words of Christian and his contempt for the staff to say that if everyone were like him, maybe they would go first in the league. " I talked to Christian. And Christian has talked with his teammates. We look forward. Now we have to win at Levante and think of more. "

The Frenchman has not thought about his future at the club. You have two -year contract until 2018, and it is clear that their future is played in the last three months of the season that will also decide the fate of many men " . I do not think about my future, really I think we should win a very tough rival, the Levant, also played a lot. At the end of the season there will be changes, but now I'm focused on the team and achieve the goals. "
