Zidane Sack Watch

Zidane has the Italian style of coaching. Pragmatic and cautious. Looks like shit sometimes but it gets results. Until it doesn’t.

Motivation, squad management, hell, tactical nuance are all quite fine but you can literally see that whatever is being coached is extremely poor. And even with this lose, I'm still confident Zidane is gonna end up winning a trophy at the end of the season.

Almost sure of it...

What is it supposed to be? I think people rate him for the things you listed but no one considers him a tactical mastermind

Honestly, I kinda expect by now his Madrid side to do something a bit more than just crossing.

Despite the win
Despite the 3 UCLs
Despite the 2 La Ligas

.... we are still playing such horrible ugly football... even Pellegrini had us playing sexy football compared to this.

Last time RM played some beautiful football... was 2013-14.

Losing La Liga all but confirmed
No chance in UCL against the likes of Bayern, Liverpool, City
Lost the confidence of our brightest youngsters for playing his favorites over and over again
Lost his footballing unfortunately since he believes that CROSSING THE BALL 5 MILLION TIMES PER MATCH IS GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

we need a poll

Again, if you watch Madrid play now, we play as if we are poorly coached. From a defensive and offensive perspective.

All in all, Zidane is gonna find a way to win a trophy. I don't know how but he is gonna do it.

Does he even have to do anything? We looked like shit after Hazard got injured back during the end of 2019. The veterans that we are so reliant on these days, looked tired and jaded. We needed a break.. and then, a friggin global pandemic erupted ffs I don't think we looked great after the season resumed, but we looked far more solid, largely thanks to our veterans being in much better shape. And we won the league! Can't make this shit up.

ahem..

He's looking terrible, the stress of the job draining all life from him apparently, poor guy

Zidane said this when we were down 10 points and everyone thought the league was over.

“I vindicate myself and this club. We won this league last season. Us. Real Madrid. We have earned the right to attempt to defend our title this season. At least this year. You’re right that in the summer there will need to be changes. Let this squad fight this league, the same squad that won the league last year, not 10 years ago. Last year.”

Sigh, he really is gonna find a way...

Zidane has u guys playing very effective and especially when it counts though, so prolly underappreciated as usual. I still dont understand how at times vs lower teams he gets it completely wrong, but vs top teams he often gets things right

Hes able to extract the best out of what he has thats for though.

One thing I really like about him as well is just his class of temperament, when managing the press, and probably all round - strong when he needs to be, but u never see him losing his composure. Except once I saw him do back flip on the side line after Real scored a goal I think it was last season or so.
