Mourinho’s Real Madrid fringe-men get the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 done against Dinamo Zagreb – La Liga News
Real Madrid ripped apart a hapless Dinamo Zagreb at Santiago Bernabéu in their Champions League fixture. Jose Mourinho’s fringe players got the job done with ease as they hammered the Croatian team 6-2.

Jose’s hand has been forced to move away from his comfort zone and employ his backup options after a gruelling away encounter at Mestalla. The rarely used players did not disappoint and ushered the team to a good result at home.
Jose Callejon gave a good account of his abilities in the European tie, scoring a well timed brace and was unfortunate not to add to his tally. The winger-c*m-striker showed his industry on and off the ball and tormented Dinamo players for the duration of
the match.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251 started his first competitive match in six months and was comfortable in centre of the pitch, directing the match from his midfield role. He managed to retain possession and pull strings from his withdrawn position on the field, which proved to
be useful in holding off the opposition.
Lassana Diarra played in the right-back position and could be seen constantly marauding his flank. He laid the ball for Gonzalo Higuain’s first half goal to top off a good night out.

The Spanish international showed defensive jitters and needs more time on the pitch to get back to match fitness. The variety of positions he has been tried out at is not doing
him any favours as he treads a downward spiral.

to get on the score sheet.
The win ensures Real Madrid’s progression into the knockout round of the competition as group leaders. However, the runners-up position is up for grabs with Ajax and Lyon contending for it.
