Zidane's problem

After being relegated to the bench over and over again, Isco has lifted a weight off his shoulders. When Zidane relied on him, he sure did not disappoint and did more than asked.

He had a great game against PSG in the midfield and again against Alaves in La Liga. In fact, he was close to scoring in both games.

That was the only thing he needed to complete a comeback in style. To date, the midfielder has only had 231 minutes in eight games (in all competitions).

The secret behind his recovery lies with Dupont, who worked side by side with the player to improve his physical appearance, something that ultimately improved the Malagan immensely.

But there's more to it than that. According to the newspaper 'AS', the key to his return has been to place him in a scheme similar to that of the last two finals (Cardiff and Kiev), in a 4-4-2.

With Bale and Benzema up front, Isco has gained prominence and is laying the groundwork to even be a starter in 'El Clasico' next December 18 against FC Barcelona.

Zidane will have to reflect on the problem that is presented to him, since it would count on more variants to be measured to the Barcelona squad
