A well-respected source in Real Madrid's history shared his thoughts on how Los Blancos should handle the controversy involving Karim Benzema and Alvaro Morata.
According to Fabio Capello, two-time La Liga winner with the Spanish giants, Zinedine Zidane won't indulge fans' chants about giving Morata a place in the starting lineup simply because the team's president doesn't want him to.
"Having to choose between Benzema and Morata is a dilemma every coach would like to have, but Zidane is doing a superb job managing it. Basically, he starts with Benzema because he is the president's darling, and then, he brings on Morata to win all the games," Capello stated on SkySports, where he works as a fooball analyst.

Despite what fans may think, Capello believes that Zidane's approach is correct, and there's no reason to suspect he'll change his mind and give Morata a starting nod.
"Zizou's tactics are working out just fine. His results with the team speak for themselves," Capello concluded.
Real's next La Liga match will take place on Sunday, when they host Leganés at Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
