  • Chronicle: A derby of non-aggression (0-0)

What has happened? We get bored sovereignly, because neither team made a decisive gesture to try to get a monotonous derby, slow, too tactically tortuous.

The worst sin was of Simeone , who began to fear that he has become a miser of football, determined to keep so as not to lose what he has already earned. For many athletics it is clearly the decline of the hero Simeone, who put Atlético in the world of success, but now, as a football player, he doesn't even risk at the most opportune moments.

Your goal is zerocerism or win by a beggar goal. His team did not take advantage, despite the gap left by a detestable Hazard against Trippier . If someone had helped English, even an innocent Diego Costa would have been a scorer. But the Cholo feared any possible white backlash.

What was a mistake, because Zidane never prepares his team for an instant kickback, a kind of electric speed when he recovers the ball. The turtle tamer prefers to rub and rub the ball, so that his beloved Benzema achieves some head, in the foreseeable center for some band, whenever he arrives. Benzema was horrible with his feet.

So Zidane has become a kind of Capello or Mourinho , in the sense that he prefers to play slow, inefficient, like a child, before they score a goal.

I don't remember a single stop of Courtois . Of Oblak yes, a decisive one with Benzema's header. It was the only occasion on which that cold iceberg that magnificent Simeone with its perpetual fear could melt.

So without a goal, without a withdrawal, sincerely, as two boxers locked, Madrid was the winner of the points. Thanks to a Valverde who held his balance until he got tired. It was the plug of Koke and Saul , because in the case of Thomas he was like Malcolm X , a kind of irreducible player capable of withstanding all the defensive tide of Cholo, to be the only one who wanted to play perpendicularly.

Although the gurus fall ashamed, the best player in Madrid was Bale . The only one that overflowed. The one who bored the 'new star' Lodi and the one who ended up in the end with Trippier's raids.

To the greater glory of the recycled Zidane, Bale became a very tactical player. Although he may be tired of never being able to show off his speed in a backlash. Either life is sought individually or it will have to be a day laborer to cover the spaces.

So it seems to me a petty Zidane plan, with a Hazard that every day looks more like Isco and a Benzema who plays like the thirsty one who has to look for a kind of soccer cactus to survive in the desert. A desert that was the Wanda. The Gobi no. The Wanda, which is also Chinese.
