1-2 loss to Arcano reflects the recent bad state of Real Madrid. You know, Akyano even fought 10 in the last ten minutes, and Real Madrid failed to win the game and stopped at the top 32 of the King's Cup of Spain. As a newspaper, the Spanish media also felt helpless about Real Madrid's performance. As the newspaper said, this failure is "one of the most shameful failures in the history of Real Madrid".
On Zidane's future, balague said: "Real Madrid's idea is to formally part ways with Zidane at the end of the season. Zidane has pulled back from the cliff many times. He almost reached the edge of the cliff every time, but miraculously survived. Real Madrid seems to have encountered a bottleneck now. " Last season, Zidane returned to Real Madrid and led Real Madrid to overtake Barcelona in the final rounds, winning the first La Liga championship trophy in three years.
If you want to talk about coaching honor, Zidane is really successful at Real Madrid. During his coaching at Real Madrid, Zidane won three consecutive championships, two World Club Cups and two European Super Cups. But this season, Real Madrid's performance is the worst in recent years. In terms of results, they are currently ranked second in La Liga, 7 points behind Atletico Madrid, but Atletico Madrid has one game less, so the gap is actually quite big. In addition to the results, Real Madrid's poor performance is also obvious to the naked eye. They almost failed to qualify from the group in the Champions League.
In this regard, balague said: "Zidane is a legend of the club, so Real Madrid will not make much moves now. They will see where things will go. Real Madrid don't want to speed up the process of Zidane's class, because obviously there is no guarantee that something better will happen. Although Real Madrid's record is also very bleak, it can be killed by miners in the Champions League and lost to the team in Group B in the King's Cup. But it's not just the team's record that makes Real Madrid executives dissatisfied. "
Balague continued: "Two things Zidane did made Real Madrid executives very angry. The first thing is that Zidane is not giving instructions to players on the court now, but teaching with metaphysics, which can be seen in the game against Akyano. Real Madrid players now play on their own. The second thing is that Zidane used players like modric and Ramos, but young players like odegard, Milito and Iovich couldn't play. This is because the player has been sold by Zidane or wants to leave the team, which makes Real Madrid executives very disappointed. " Balague added.
