Zidane said at the press conference after the game against Rayo what fans have been thinking for months. That feeling of satiety, of being up to the very ones, of wanting to throw them all not at the end of the season, but right now. "Echales a todos" , put the one signed here just two weeks ago. And it seems that the French coach is already on the job. There is no better news for Real Madrid.

If something good could bring Zizou to take the team this summer was to see who was worth and who was not, because it is not the same to see it from the outside as to experience it from within. It is not the same to think that a player can recover his level under his command than to see that it is unrecoverable, that it was not the coach's job, it was the players'.

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.

Madrid players disrupt the press conference Zidane and ....

Several players of Real Madrid broke today the press conference of his coach, Zinedine Zidane , held after the victory of the team in the European Super Cup against Sevilla, and bathed the white coach .

The cry of "Champions, Champions", Marcelo , Ramos , Lucas Vázquez, Asensio, Casilla, Casemiro and Morata, among others, entered the press room of the stadium Lerkendal (Trondheim, Norway) and took the stand, where he was sitting Zidane, on which poured a bowl of water.

The momentum with which they jumped and cheered made Morata fell, but he returned soon and ended up taking the ball that rested on the table where he sat Zidane.

Among the laughter of his coach, the group of players left the room shortly after to continue the party in the locker room.

Carvajal in extra time sealed the third Super Cup to Real Madrid

A goal from Dani Carvajal 119 minutes gave Real Madrid its third European Super Cup, a title that a bold and remarkable Sevilla stroked until Sergio Ramos forced overtime, again in 93 minutes.

Well he triumph Sevilla, who was better in ninety minutes against a decimation Madrid could have taken. He stroked revenge for the defeat two years ago in Cardiff (Wales) in the same competition, but, as in 2015 in Tbilisi against Barcelona , fell in overtime in a game full of emotion played in Trondheim (Norway).

Both Zidane and output Sampaoli surprised. The French fielded: Kovacic and Asensio and left on the bench Benzema, the only member of the BBC available. The Argentine coach, in his official debut with Sevilla, elected Kiyotake, Iborra and Vitolo and reserved to Konoplyanka, Kranevitter and Sarabia.

Seven changes every eleven respect to the finals of Champions League and Europa League played three months ago, forced by injury ( Ronaldo , Pepe, Navas), caution (Bale, Kroos) or because they are no longer (Banega, Gameiro, Krychowiak Coke). Too many to draw conclusions, and even less without finishing the preseason.

Sampaoli had announced he wanted a brave hero and Sevilla, who will shrink against the rival. And what if he did. He placed a line of three behind and turned Mariano extreme. Pressure high, and with the touch as a seal. A very remote style so successful that gave Unai Emery .

Sevilla had the ball and drowned the ball out of Madrid. Casemiro suffered, who lost any committed ball. But it needed more fluidity in the distribution Iborra and N'Zonzi. And it did not generate much danger compared to the possession he had.

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 .

#James ahora es el suplente del suplente. Es el momento para el colombiano de buscar otro equipo. #Arsenal puede ser una buena posibilidad.

Florentino Perez thanks Zidane to three European Cups will "linked" to him

Frenchman Zinedine Zidane was recognized by the Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, who said that the last three European Cups won by the club, "the ninth, tenth and eleventh, they are tied "to his name.

Zidane has won three European Cups with Real Madrid. In 2002 as a player in 2014 and assistant coach Carlo Ancelotti and this 2016 as coach of the first team.

"I want to thank Zidane, for the ninth, tenth and the European Cup eleventh are linked to your name. This is the first coaching, but in Lisbon were assistant and Glasgow did it with that incredible volley one of the best goals from history, "Florentino said at the Real Casa de Correos, headquarters of the Community of Madrid.

The president of the Community of Madrid, Cristina Cifuentes, described Zidane as "a magnificent player and one of the best of all time, which is an honor to have as a coach."

Finally, from the balcony of the Community of Madrid, Sergio Ramos thanked the work done by Zidane, which said it was "great."

Zidane is the king of the Champions League, and Sergio Ramos is Prince

They are eleven Champions League in its history, the most. DNA have champions and Milan again demonstrated why. In one of the worst seasons in a long time, in a final that was slipping through his fingers, the Real Madrid was able to overcome to win the Eleventh. Two European titles in three years, eclipsing completely the double of Barcelona in Spain, and many Champions League as the blaugrana box since 2000 (4). Zidane was present in three of them. It is no coincidence, has star, soul winner. It was what was missing from this Real Madrid in January, and the Gallic unimaginable new heights were reached. Zidane is the king of the Champions League, and Sergio Ramos is the prince.

Lisbon waited until the 93rd minute, but this time the goal Sergio Ramos came 14 minutes into the game. Same. Two in two finals, as Cristiano and Messi. Almost nothing. The ghosts of the Tenth planned soon over Atletico then, also winning aura of Real Madrid. It seems incredible that the executioner of Barcelona and Bayern Munich could you weigh as much a goal, but the fact is that both land camero threw Simeone all the plans he had for this end. not worth it and wait. I had to create. And there, at times, he drowned in their own shortcomings.

"Run, run, run and run." That was the plan that had Zidane for the derby in Milan, and guys fulfilled to perfection, with first fifteen minutes of high pressure and high voltage, which incapacitated the rojiblancos. As the first part was consumed, the pressure was low, but Atletico never finished the balance before the break. Powerless ones, sobrados others. No goals involved, the final was controlled for whites.

Although he almost derailed for whites, since before the first minute of the second half, Pepe strike down Fernando Torres inside the area. What better start, what lousy definition Griezmann from eleven meters. The 113 years of history rojiblanca weighed him on both shoulders that goal was made ​​small as one of hockey. He crashed the ball into the crossbar, millimeters from goal, anyway, did not enter. The particular '93 minutes' plan again on the head of the great French attacker. Football already owed ​​two to Simeone. It would not be the last, at any rate.

Rare accused him not the slightest Atletico, yes. He got injured Dani Carvajal , whose tears hurt the entire Spanish selection. But in reality neither a penalty nor the injury moved one iota the script of the game. The same as in Lisbon two years ago, but with the roles reversed: a dump, against a Real Madrid wondering whether to bet on a goal or reserve forces to defend Atletico.

So I modeled was the script, the extension finally reached, as in 2014. Merced this time to a goal by Carrasco, who left refreshment at the break revolutionizing the game as they did then Marcelo and Isco . The Belgian side finished a central goal Juanfran 80 minutes along Just after Ronaldo and Bale will not score in a very clear double occasion. Karma, perhaps. Football, which was beginning to return to Atletico that was owed ​​him, perhaps.

So much were taking in both finals, which during the extension Gareth Bale even injure. As Juanfran in Lisbon, which also had to stay in the field because they had exhausted substitutions. But yes, there mystique it's over, because neither Atletico was able to turn the result in overtime, nor on penalties was able to clinch the title. Juanfran failed the fourth, Cristiano Ronaldo got the fifth. rojiblancas tears, celebration merengue. Simeone has to record a few more notches in their particular agenda debts to football. Unlike Zidane, Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo. Unimaginable that could end the Orejona clinging to the season. Football. And that gene eternal champion.

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.

Zidane: "As I said Ancelotti, is special to win the first Champions"

Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid coach, recalled a phrase that told the Italian Carlo Ancelotti year of the Tenth and Eleventh said after winning the "it's special" win as head coach .

"As I said Ancelotti, if you win the Champions League as head coach, is a special event. I am very happy to have won it as a player, to coach and now as first. It's special," he acknowledged at a news conference.

"I'm happy, it is not easy to get the Champions League. I am very happy for what we have done. We arrived well at the end of season and wear the end we suffered physically, with many cramps players. But it is normal in a match with extra time. Mentally there was a lot of pressure, "he added.
