Yep, Zizou has become better at motivating it seems since they look hungrier. It helped alot they balanced Midfield with Casemiro and Ronaldo upped the ante.
Combination
- Finally a balanced midfield
- Modric
- Zidane is a real madrid legend of very recent memory, and everyone completely respects him. He's also quite a leader. Exactly what they needed to get those spoiled brats in line.

They just need to weed out the off games (like the first wolfsburg leg) and they can win the CL.
and Barca are looking like Ancellotti's Madrid in his last season there. 20-something winning run and then a sudden collapse.
Madrid's collapse had alot to do with horribly unbalanced team after Modric went injured, and Ancelotti not fixing it.
Going all "kroos and 2 am's" works nice against shitty the fuck (like getafe today), but gets brutalised against any decent team.
Madrid should just go 4-3-3 with kroos, modric and casemiro behind CBB.
