A flare falls on the bench for Hannover - VIDEO

Wolfsburg visiting fans caused panic moments before the match of the Bundesliga

The preliminaries of the Bundesliga duel between Hannover and Wolfsburg (0-4) left Tuesday a striking image. 
flare thrown from the sector where visiting fans were located fell on the bench of the home side and moments of nervousness among the substitutes and coaching staff lived. 
An incident caused no injuries but forcing a few minutes delay the start of the match. An unpleasant event in a championship this season and has been marred by several violent episodes .

The Italian press adds Allegri to potential substitutes Zidane

After Ernesto Valverde, Míchel or long - lived and longing for Joachim Low, Massimiliano Allegri has joined the list of candidates to the bench of Real Madrid in the event that Zinedine Zidane will not continue next season.Or at least so says the Italian sports press today.
La Gazzetta dello Sport published today that the Juventus coach is the head of the white president, Florentino Perez, from removing his team at the hands of the Italians in the last edition of the Champions League. Thus, in the event that the results put an end to Zidane stage in front of the first white team, the Italian would be well placed to succeed.
The Italian specialist journal refers to the white "temptation" but also notes that Allegri, which takes two and a half year at Juventus million and still faces a year contract, has received an offer from the club to move to charge double and prevent these types of approaches of other great Europe.

Zidane anger of the team for lack of attitude

Zinedine Zidane began to ask explanations to certain players immediately following the derby, as did Ancelotti and Mourinho hot. Nothing anger mumble at home. Best instantly drop what you want to convey: anger, indignation by running unless the opponent . "Lack of attitude, not fight as rivals." On Monday and Tuesday he has talked with all staff, the injured and those available in group and private. Bettoni data and technical staff are like white cotton, do not lie: Atletico each ran 1.1 kilometers each man Real Madrid.

The Frenchman has been direct to their wards. He spoke particularly with James and Isco, pitados to be changed in the Madrid match . But the fault is not the monopoly of them, but of all. Only Keylor, Danilo Carvajal and size got last Saturday. Toni Kroos and Luka Modric wanted and could not, without help from Colombian and malacitano. The rest suspended. Some, with a zero.

The head of Real Madrid take drastic measures today. Their future is at stake. And made ​​it to sit James and Isco against Simeone. No longer look for the players in which he trusted and have not responded. It was raw in his message: "I do not even want one more game as well. We do not put the leg and are Real Madrid. We lose so many balls. Not a relaxation more. Now we have two finals, against Levante and Celta. We will have every week. " It is disenchanted with the lack of character of the team in general and several professionals in particular.

Remove their consciences

You have disappointed Isco, James and Jesse, who gave his full support on January 4, nothing else sign their charge, and have not returned that faith. Lucas Vázquez paid that decision and now has returned to count for the French. But it has also surprised underperforming Varane, Kroos, Cristiano and Ramos in difficult times. The German and Portuguese, at least, struggle and want. You can not blame them that lack of attitude itself has noticed in some midfielders when the computer does not work. In this situation, instead of help have been hidden. He has asked them to react. It has been a positive anger, seeking to remove their consciences: " Do you realize that we all are staking the future, you and I?".

Low force you to make changes that would make anyway. Kovacic and Casemiro aspire to the absence of Modric, if they do not play the two because the coach sits James or Isco, with which it has held talks face face to analyze their weak performance in tough games against Betis, the Granada, Malaga and Atletico.

What is striking is that now the club has players that filter certain reporters that Zidane is green and had no plan B against Malaga and Atletico. Plan B should be themselves. What dislike most in the institution is that the players have taken to Benitez , as requested, and now they play as they want, with the coach and the tactical offensive they wanted, not surrender . They can not even make a self and turn around the situation, as did the players of Barcelona in November 2014, when Luis Enrique was going to be cast and Xavi saved him. Real Madrid hopes his men know to take responsibility . Zidane's demands. "We are Real Madrid and Real Madrid player must sweat shirt to exhaustion." It is another warning. Or fight, or the bench.
