  A stroll via Jeddah: “Oh no! It's solely for ladies”
  

A Super Cup semi-final It’s one thing historic, by no means seen, just like the first sport of the League, all for 1928, or the first of the European Cup. It’s tough to predict the well being of this competitors, topic to the fluctuations of Rubials (now to a match in Tnger, now in format Closing 4 in Arabia, in three years we will see …), however with out a doubt that this Wednesday's match will stay in the almanacs. That’s the reason the logical doubts earlier than the disposition of the groups earlier than this preliminary screening, the place there may be little to be gained, because the title will nonetheless require a closing closing towards Barcelona or the Atletico.

The defeat will likely be sweeter in the semifinal than then, since a minimum of the loser will save a few days in Jeddah and achieve relaxation in Madrid earlier than resuming the league calendar. The 4 candidates give the sensation of touchdown in Arabia extra pending of different issues than this peculiar match.

However the class of the 4 shields ensures competitors on the garden, there isn’t any doubt about that. Rivalry and pressure accompany the 2 confrontations, already seen, by the best way, final month in the League, and each resolved in the again account: Messi selected Wanda and Benzema empat in Mestalla.

Exactly, the absence of the French leaves very lame on the forefront of Madrid. All the assault of the season has revolved round Zidane's 9, now compelled to discover alternate options amongst his questioned offensive line. Nobody joined with true energy to the scoring work thus far. An issue to be solved by the coach for those who want to mix the journey with a title all the time welcome. With out Benzema, Bale and Hazard, Madrid is way much less Madrid.

“Jovic is an choice, it has a lot of future”

To Jeddah, ZZ has been introduced in very alternate alternates, similar to Brahim and Mariano, and to essential elements that return from accidents. We speak about James Rodrguez and Lucas Vzquez, with choices to seem on the pc. For those who want to be prudent, you’ll have to pull your Brazilian accomplice or Jovic, the invisible ram. Behind, Valverde might reappear after resting in Getafe final Saturday. We have now a very lengthy template. Jovic is an choice, stated Zidane. The boy has a lot of future, prediction. In regards to the new match, he’s additionally enthusiastic. It's a great phantasm, we don't come here for a stroll. We want to make a nice match. We have now to get our greatest model, underline the marsells of Algerian mother and father, visiting for the first time in Arabia.

Celades, the technician of Valencia, is identical as in ZZ due to the harm of Rodrigo. The reducing of its star striker could be very worrying. We can have to adapt, sigh the coach who was Lopetegui's assistant in his transient time in Madrid. Nor does he protest the brand new Super Cup format. We are able to do little. We’ll attempt to deliver the title to our followers, he stated when he was reminded of the few tickets offered amongst Mestalla followers.
