Santander League: Lopetegui, between the cario of Bernabu and an arbitration anger; “It is strong that they complain, it was necessary,” says Zidane | LaLiga Santander 2019

Zinedine Zidane sud in Chamartn, despite the winter atmosphere, with a turned neck. He came to the press room with his face sucked, fatigue in his eyes. Victory cost his horrors. One of the most difficult of the season against a very good Sevilla.

We improved in the second part, analyzed the French after the 2-1 work that allows Madrid to remain at the top of the table. Triumph of those who have weight in the fight for the League, because the whites saw each other during a good match. The fog and the drowsiness embraced the duel at the start, without waking Bernabu or the presentation of the Spanish Super Cup. The huge grass (white, of course) loomed through the sky of the stadium, muscles of the renovation works that are still running.

Down, Julen Lopetegui Luca Chandal in the band next to the coach who relev does less than it seems. The technician of Seville took a tender ovation of what was his public for a while. In the club they remember the famous scene of the tennis ball dancing on the net, in the movie Match point, to summarize its passage through Real Madrid. That decisive moment, which shows Woody Allen's work so well, was suffered by Lopetegui at the Camp Nou, in that ball of Modric That goes to the post instead of a goal. The 2-2 would have rewarded the rabid exit of his team to the second part of the Classic.

But no, the club spat the ball, Barcelona ended up winning 5-1 and the Basque was fired the next day. He had no fortune in his short stage, with a nonsense record that illustrates his unfortunate 2019: he linked his Madrid eight hours (almost five games) without scoring a goal. As and everything, his old house saves him cario.

At rest he left with the feeling of not having taken advantage after having drowned Zidane's. He saw De Jong door in an excellent header at the exit of a scanner, but the VAR detected a blockade at the limit of Gudelj about Militao. He searched with his shoulder to stop the rival defender, hitting him in the face. The video arbitration I warned of the action and Martnez MunueraThe referee canceled the goal after checking the play on the screen. Sevillist outrage, social networks on fire, jokes about Madrid's power with the VAR (this time, yes; the day of the classic, no) … And Lopetegui, hard to the ear of the line with the claim.

Monchi's irritation

We were frustrated. I don't understand what he has said, he said later. There is a lack, it is a clear block, says Zidane. More happy was the visiting technician in 1-1, without considering the control room punishable (involuntary) contact of the ball in Munir's arm, a tenth of a second before the spectacular shot of De Jong. Seville was so annoying that its sports director, Monchi, drop one of the pearls of the League. If they cancel the goal of De Jong, I go down to the field and take out the team, he said, remembering an unforgettable scene of the 82nd World Cup, when the president of the Kuwait Federation came down from the Zorrilla box to the grass to withdraw his team, angry with the referee. That is a bit strong, Zidane replied when they told him what the irritated Monchi had said.

Casemiro cleared the dense afternoon. His first double wrapped a very complete match, of those that strengthen the idea of ​​its importance in the drawing of ZZ. You have to know how to suffer. We like to have the ball but it is not always possible, explained the midfielder about his team's long periods of misgovernment. Sevilla plays very well. Your coach knows what to play, aim.
