Zinedine Zidane was clear. In one of the first meetings to plan the new season, he gave his opinion on Isco: It is one of the fundamental pieces of my project. His superiors listened carefully, taking note and hiding a point of surprise. The whole club remembered the good performance that the malagueo had given under the command of the French in his first stage on the bench, but that seemed to be far away now, after a few dark months of the player, between his confrontation with Solari and a noticeable drop in performance. Neither physically nor mentally proved to be at the level required by the white shirt.

However, the coach continues to maintain faith in that midfielder with whom he identifies so much. Recently, with the player reactivated, I repeated it again. It is seen in his mirror -with less power of Isco legs-, but the same ability to drive the ball through the jungle of the front of the area, with the necessary clairvoyance to find the precise hollow of the pass and the personality that the nights of the night demand. more focus. In fact, he finds in him the responses of character that others do not give him, despite also having a lot of quality. For example, James Rodrguez. The Colombian is in Jeddah, but after starting the course with options, an injury and his long convalescence have taken him away from the grass.

Isco thanked Zidane's hug. Nor did he want to change his air, comfortable in Madrid. His eldest child lives in Mlaga, by AVE. He told his agent not to look for exits, that he would take advantage of the opportunity offered by the French. And that will strive to return to the selection, with the European Championship in the peephole. I worked in summer and better the physical form, helped by their tests with the vegan diet that follows his girlfriend, the actress Sara Slamo. Lighter, he raised the level of his workouts and, once recovered from the muscle injury he suffered in August, began to raise his hand to Zidane. The boss did not take long to make room in the starting lineup: Mestalla, the classic, the PSG … In the important appointments he has not missed. The last one, the semi-final of the Super Cup against Valencia, at the tip of the group of midfielders that accumulate ZZ. The Madrid coach saves Cardiff's final as one of the best works of his time on the bench. There was Isco with Modric, Kroos and Casemiro. We want to continue like this, sending in the games, Sergio Ramos said yesterday, happy with the last round of the drawing.

“Joao Flix is ​​the future”

The doubts of the club and some fans have begun to dissolve before the Andalusian response. Opposite crossing another talent under suspicion, Joao Flix, which also has the best support in its coach. Simeone asked the club to pay more than ever in its history for a signing (126 million euros still with 19 years) because he was convinced that the Portuguese was figurn meat. He has only scored four goals for now and the Argentine has changed him many times, but his ownership has never been questioned. The truth is that in the field, his interventions completely change the tone of the Atlantic. He spends time without receiving the ball, especially when his team is ultra retracted, as he passed against Barcelona on Thursday, but when he appears, the opponent suffers.

In the hangover of the frantic victory over the Catalans, the subtle touches of the young man in the goals were reviewed in the Atlantic expedition. That of Koke I came out of a control oriented yours. I have no doubt that he is a player of present and future. It is very good and the Atlantic has signed it because it is the future. Sure, ZZ dedicated to him, generous with a footballer offered last year to Real Madrid for Jorge Mendes, its powerful agent.
