Zinedine Zidane direct in Real Madrid history

The arrival of Zinedine Zidane to Real Madrid bench instead of Rafa Benitez gave the turn expected by directors chaired by Florentino Perez, and eventually led to the conquest of the Eleventh European Cup to Real Madrid together, becoming historic campaign.

The final San Siro confirmed the resurrection that has had the Real Madrid with Zidane technician who took the team eliminated from Copa del Rey (by improper alignment in their first match) and came to be twelve points in League of Barcelona which ended fighting for the title until the last day.

With twelve consecutive victories Zidane signed the best league finish a technician had never achieved in the history of the league. Without losing a match in the domestic competition since the Feb. 27 at the Santiago Bernabeu he fell right before his opponent the final of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid.

That game marked the French coach. He lived his first moments in the elite, not hiding that is constantly learning, and the duel with Diego Simeone scholar surpassed him. The image of impotence Real Madrid in the Madrid derby at the Santiago Bernabeu installed doubts about the figure of Zizou who failed to clear up the blow of authority in the Camp Nou. That win was the key to success in the season.

physically rebuilding their team, the only aspect that publicly criticized the inheritance he received from Benitez. And showing a side of optimism that was unknown to his playing, he always had faith in the conquest of the Champions League. He decided to apply his experience in the past with the player, giving the closeness that brings out the best player.

He applied psychology who missed his predecessor in dealing with a way to handle the nearest coaches costumes that have marked an era with Real Madrid, as his teacher Carlo Ancelotti or the same Vicente del Bosque, and found the desired response with attitude on the pitch of a group of players who came to believe in himself.

He ended up beating the best streak of Jose Mourinho, eleven straight wins garters, and matched his name with that of Manuel Pellegrini and Italian Ancelotti. At the start of next season will have in his hand the fifteen match winning streak in the league signed laureate Miguel Muñoz. The moment has become the first coach born Frenchman to win the European Cup and the Champions League and the seventh to get as a coach and as a player.

Since coming to office Real Madrid won 22 of the 27 games he played. He only gave up three draws and two defeats (next to Atletico in the league, the first leg of the quarter-finals in Germany against Wolfsburg forcing recall the old European comebacks). The balance of 72 goals scored (2.66 per game) and conceded 19 (0.7) are key to the success reflected.

Installed on the success and leaving your name in the history of the conquest of the Eleventh, Zidane will begin preparing its first project with ultimate responsibility for next season. You have to draw up a list of approved low and high by working to tweak the club Real Madrid next season. It will be born with a technician who was on his way recondujo what the failure to make it successful.

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.

Brazilian press highlights that Real tried to beat the league is to "few"

"With players of this talent you will get something that big. I'm happy because it has given me the opportunity but we will leave Di Stéfano quiet. I am very proud to be part of this great house," he added.

Zidane said that when Atletico Madrid tied for the final stretch of the game did not think it would end in defeat. "I did not see black but marked Carrasco. I always saw the final fifty percent. I did not think of anything negative or Lisbon. There is always who think positive, "he said.

And he gave praise to Cristiano Ronaldo. "He has proven that he was uninjured and has given us the victory. As was always there in the decider to pull the fifth penalty time. He has run a lot, doing a lot of defensive work and always thinking about the team and help their teammates."

"We talked in the field of the position he had to hit the penalty. Happy because he has gotten. I had not seen penalties PSV against Atleti, the players had prepared. When you go to throw penalties we thought one thing but we must ask the players how they feel and what we've done, "he revealed.
