The Real Madrid coach saw in the first part the same as the rest of the spectators. a) That the Atletico was dominating his team. b) That his midfielders orchestra was challenging. c) That more offensive knife was necessary. Zidane changed the game at the break, applauded Thibaut Courtois, owner of a zero again in his goalkeeper. The victory in the derby was accompanied by a historic defensive record for whites: he had never reached day 22 with only 13 goals conceded. In that data, a large part of the leader's takeoff emerges, consolidated at the head of the table after an always tasty victory against the neighbor. Since December 2012, Real Madrid did not win a league derby at home. There was Jos Mourinho that day in the band.

A change had to be made. I don't like to take out two players, but it was necessary, explained later the French coach, with a lot of focus on the win. If he was seen in the beginning, with an approach that proved wrong with the red and white block, he had to look at the end, for the jolt he made at the break. The double relay (Isco and Kroos by Lucas Vzquez and Vinicius) revolutionized the afternoon. The goal came very soon, the work of Benzema, the offensive prop of a team that grows every week. Zidane wanted to protect the players he left in the locker room. I was not happy with what I see on the field, but it is not the responsibility of the players, but ma. I changed Isco and Toni, but they could be two others, justific.

Until Felipe, the central red and white, recognizes the mrito of the local preparer. They made two very aggressive changes and we were very back, he said in a critical tone towards his. The two players who shook the derby were happy with their work. Two alternates who ended up being transcendental, just what ZZ looks for with its template management. Let them all add up. One on the right and one on the left encouraged the pressure up and opened the field to the fullest, before an Atletico without the vigor by then that had shone at the start of the crash. Lucas Vzquez and I entered very well and changed the game, Vinicius proudly declared, ideologue of the play that the derby decided. He put it in depth to Mendy, author of assistance to Benzema, 13 goals in the League.

Al Zidane has everything upside down in recent times, launched Madrid in the League and in the Cup, with the Champions League tie against the Manchester City Waiting at the end of the month. Many expected us to stumble into the derby, Courtois said.

If the French relive its best moments in Madrid, Simeone goes through its darkest period. Cholo don't go, Cholo stay. With the triumph of the derby in his pocket, the Bernabu ended up singing the rival technician with a lot of fun. In less than a month, a title won before the neighbor and a league duel of great importance conquered. And in memory, those two Champions final. The scream came out of the animation background, but soon the whole stadium was animated. I didn't hear anything, I answered later. In the previous one, Morata and Simeone took the great whistles, more the technician, although the one of the canterano, winner of two white Champions was also striking. Courtois saw no penalty in Casemiro: Morata stumbles on his feet.
