Zinedine Zidane was on Monday the coach of Real Madrid. The Frenchman celebrated as a player with the “Kings’ greatest triumphs, and now – as a coach – is to regain what he had lost his predecessor Rafael Benitez – the confidence of the players and the support of the fans. President Florentino Perez decided on a very risky maneuver.
– This is a great coach and in the future will certainly be coach of Real Madrid – said nearly two weeks ago the president of “Royal” Florentino Perez.
In the fulfillment of his words, in fact, we did not have to wait long. After seven months of work, in Madrid the team Rafael Benitez has been slow and that Zidane was announced as his successor.
questioned his work, but Perez showed him support
Frenchman as a player he spent five years at Real, and there also ended his career. With the “Kings” won the league, he won two Super Cups Spain, cup Champions League and the European Super Cup.
After retiring Zidane entered the coaching path just at Real. For a year he worked as an assistant coach in the club’s reserves, which fell then to the second division of the Spanish.
A year later he took the helm of the team, but the Segunda Division failed to return. The Fellowship of the season has just finished in fifth place, and his work in the reserves often been questioned.
Florentino Perez, however, showed him support and allowed to work on the bench next season. Currently, his team is in second place in the table. This season, lost only two matches.
Real really in crisis?
There is no doubt that Zidane at Real will have a very difficult task. Contrary to appearances, the team was not doing so tragic, as might be indicated by, even the constant whistling fans towards the team virtually each of the last meetings.
Real in the league so far suffered only three defeats (with Barcelona, Sevilla and Villarreal). For the first Atletico in the table four points, and the other Barca just two. In La Liga scored as many goals yet. In the Champions League but he did not lose even a single match. What, then, looking at these results, it is expected from Zidane?
Fans of Real’s most hurt that the team wins with major rivals. “Merengues” lost against Barcelona (0-4) and tied with Atletico (1-1). “Zizou” is waiting so no easy task. He will have to quickly gain the trust of players and keep the winning streak, mainly in clashes with the best. The first major test will be February 17, when Real will face in the Champions League against Roma. 11 days later, he is waiting for his big match against Atletico Madrid in the Primera Division. Nearby El Clasico until April at the Camp Nou.
Zidane addition to placate the team will also have to face the enormous pressure that will be imposed on it. The fans certainly prove to him the credit of trust with the memory of his fantastic performance for Real, but they will follow closely the actions of the team. The fact that in Spain you can quickly find yourself under fire from media and fans convinced not only Rafael Benitez. Last season, after several defeats in Barcelona called for the dismissal of Luis Enrique, which few now remember.
