• Chronicle: Madrid delivers the lead in Mallorca with its first league defeat

Zidane has fascinated me with his football ideas for many months. But every day it surprises me even more. His ability to hypnotize me perplexes me.

To start, the alignment in Mallorca. Throw Jovic like an unexploded torpedo in the bow of the team. James 's don't know what. Isco of inoperative half hindrance. A friend told me, parodying 'Supergarcía', that Isco plays with "pig trot". Then the infamous Militao , who only knows how to recular when the opponent carries the ball. Not to mention Courtois : What team do you play with? They scored two goals, of the only two shots on goal from Mallorca. Luckily for the white team that the second was not worth it.

I can not forget the dear Vinicius , the "phenomenon of the piperos", who, before an opposing defense seems to leave as Forrest Gump, that if he leaves the field and continues running like the ineffable Tom Hanks .

Add a team without any tactical assessment worth mentioning. That he does not know how to press, that when they attack him they watch as they attack and in defensive mode is the exhausting "turtle parade", propitiated by his irremediable Zidane.

The intelligent will say that Madrid has not only lost the impassibility, the unbeatable, but also the leadership. "Peccata minuta" compared to cod "pil pil" that has the team in the head. Di Stéfano said that the players are like marvelous maroons, that if the coach who rides them does not know how to take them, they throw him almost ipso facto. Madrid players have been pulling the mediocre Zidane for a long time.

I was told by a very serious Real Madrid player, which seems very serious to me, who prefers that Madrid has lost in Mallorca and that Istanbul is the Ottoman tomb of Zidane, in the city where the famous painting of the "Turtle Tamer is located" "by painter Osman Hamdi Bey . Great picture of how turtles are slow even to eat lettuce scattered on the ground. He prefers that Zidane goes to the street before Madrid becomes the glass zoo, which rains all kinds of expletives.

Of course I'm going to talk about Mallorca. It would be more. It was a team that knew how to play Madrid's slowness. He always attacked intelligently, even if only splendidly in the first 20 minutes. In addition, it fits in solidarity with a defensive system more than enough to end the technical superiority of a leader who almost always seemed like a team of the half table.

It is said that Pochettino remains playing Russian roulette and seems more outside than inside Tottenham. It would seem to me other errors of Florentino to sign him as a substitute for an almost sentenced Zidane. In any case, when the nerves enter the "superior being", Butragueño dixit. Although I just want to remember that thirteen years ago, Florentino threw in the towel and resigned. Zidane was in the field.
