Keep calm, Zidane: Following the footsteps Lopetegui in the Real Madrid

The Real Madrid of Zinedine Zidane seems more to the of Julen Lopetegui, in 2018, that to the that proclaimed champion of LaLiga Santander in July. The inconsistencia, fault of attitude and of leadership, when Sergio Bouquets is not in thefield , concerns in the offices of Santiago Bernabéu and, to repeat a defeat in the Camp Nou, the history of 'Zizou' in the benches can have the same denouement that the one of Lopetegui.

After winning his third Champions League consecutive, in 2018, the Real Madrid lived a very complicated stage, the exit of his maximum star, Cristiano Ronaldo, and of the technician, Zidane. Two years afterwards, although with the French again in the bench, the merengues are in the abyss and will be his eternal rival, the Barcelona, the one who determine the future of, at least, his trainer.

Zidane, on a tightrope

The stage of Lopetegui in the benches of the Bernabéu finished with a goleada in the Camp Nou 5-1 that left infinite interrogantes regarding the exert of the trainer and cost the dismissal of his charge, hours after the party. Before the visit to Barcelona, had accumulated three consecutive defeats in less than 20 days, in front of the CSKA in Moscow by 1-0, the Alavés with the same result and in Santiago Bernabéu, in front of the Seville, by 1-2.

After the bad series, the madridistas achieved a victory in Champions League, in front of Viktoria by 2-1, suffering during the 90 minutes of the party. Few days afterwards, contested the Classical and the good feelings that had left in the previous party dispelled in the Camp Nou. The Madrid fit five goals, lost in the field and showed the fault of approach, of attitude and, especially, the importance that had Christian in the team.

Julen Lopetegui was sacked and Santiago Solari replaced it, but the negative results continued. 'Zizou' Saw in the need to rescue to the team of his life and, although it finished the first season with two defeats, achieved the third square of the League and the ticket to his favourite competition. In the following campaign, the 2019-2020, in the middle of the pandemia of the COVID-19, the French carried to the club to raise two titles: the Supercopa of Spain and LaLiga Santander, although with a lot of controversies.

The history repeats

Lopetegui Arrived to the Camp Nou with three defeats and a victory. Zidane will do it with two parties losing and with a crisis that goes much more there of the results. The club has problems of attitude and the 'Ramosdependencia' (very upper to the 'Messidependencia') is evident. Without the camero, the Real Madrid does not win and, once again, the Barcelona will be the point of break.

The result of this Saturday will define the future of Zinedine Zidane. For the directive of the club, chaired by Florentino Pérez, is unacceptable that the team accumulate two consecutive defeats, home, and will not tolerate the third. In the diary madridista, already sound candidates to replace to the French, like Mauritius Pochettino, without team, or Raúl González, current trainer of the Real Madrid Castilla.
