UCL 2016 FINAL

Probably Zidane is the biggest reason for Real Madrid's amazing performance after Rafa was sacked. Madrid had almost lost all the consistency and was struggling for it. Just as Rafa sacked, Zidane, former Real Madrid Player and France international were appointed as manager in January. Since then , the team has made a tremendous progress. They already are in the UCL final and what's more? They're now number 2 in La Liga. The final La Liga fixture will decide which team will win La Liga.

         Well, it seems that the team has full confidence on their boss, Zinedine Zidane. The boys are playing pretty well. Marcelo, the Real Madrid's LB , said about Zidane that -

"The boss has helped us a lot, he has given us strength.We spoke amongst ourselves and we needed to change some things. We have changed and it has been for the better."

"I'm not going to talk about numbers because I don't like that, but the truth is we are very happy with him. He is a great coach. As I said before, things have changed for the better."

Also, Marcelo thinks that they should focus on Deportivo first and then Champions league. He said :-

"We have to keep playing as we have been doing, with patience, trying for possession and with humility towards our opponents.I don't think they will be laid back. Teams always play strongly against Madrid, I'm certain that Deportivo will want to win ... and so do we. I think it's going to be a good game."

I don't think the first meeting will have anything to do with this one.It is the last game in La Liga, Deportivo will definitely want to win and it will be different."

At last, he said :

"You have to know how to play against them because they are a team that presents not one sole threat, but several. They have several good players."

Fernando Torres, the ex-Chelsea star has been in a pretty good form in 2016, netting 9 goals in 18 matches. Not to forget that he is on loan at Atletico Madrid from AC Milan but is out of contract this summer.

          The Spanish newspaper AS has recently reported that Torres has been offered a permanent 2-years contract by Athletico de Madrid, seeing his current progress with the club. Also, some rumors suggest that Torres wants his future wrapped up before the crucial match against Real Madrid on 28th May! It is worth mentioning that he is yet on loan at Atletico Madrid but his
Milan career will be over after the end of this season!

           Also, since some teams from America and China want to buy him, that's why Atletico Madrid has offered him a permanent 2-years contract. Well, we hope he will stay at Atletico Madrid as he is in a great form at the moment.
