Calendar of FC Barcelona

Zinedine Zidane won does already several years the right to be considered one of the best trainers of the history of the football and of the Real Madrid. The French did what anybody had done and no only carried to his team to the conquest of two Champions League consecutive, but it put the brooch of gold winning the third in 2018. An attainment tremendo that finish with the Frenchman announcing weeks afterwards that it left of the club.

'Zizou' Went after the third League of Champions because it did not dare to do the change of cycle that needed this staff. This is what left to fall the marsellés and is what said in the press madridista. But over time it has showed that perhaps there was not so much for real in this, since the technician accepted to return to Santiago Bernabéu less than a year after saying goodbye with an almost identical staff to which left.

From his return in 2019, the French and his team have showed tremendously irregular at all times. In spite of this, the Madrid carried the past League by in front of a FC Barcelona that derailed with Quique Setién in the bench. This triumph maquilló the very toneless game deployed by the ones of Concha Spine, but has not avoided that the merengues follow leaving doubts by his football and his own trainer.

Zidane follows faithful to the same idea that did him triumph in his first stage in the Bernabéu and has not changed neither his form to train, neither his approaches, neither his election of footballers. In fact, the Frenchman follows having practically the same base of players that left in 2017 when it decided to leave. The eleven that took out for the final of the Champions of 2017 is almost identical to the that took out for example in the Supercopa of Spain in the defeat against the Athletic.

Of this eleven of Cardiff only change four names and two of them only do it because they no longer are in the Madrid. Keylor Navas Has left his place to Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard to Cristiano Ronaldo. On the other hand, the technician yes has decided to seat definitively to Marcelo, that is the acting of Ferland Mendy. The last change with regard to this alignment is to plant to Marco Asensio by Isco Alarcón. It is necessary to say that Lucas Vázquez, that played in front of the bilbaínos, only did it because Dani Caravajal is lesionado, since the one of Leganés keeps on being indisputable for his míster.

Zidane follows having the same of always

It is necessary to say that Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Karim Benzema, Sergio Bouquets, Casemiro, the own Carvajal and Raphael Varane, titularísimos in 2017, keep on being it now with four years more. Many of them happen already the treintena and others approach, but to Zidane gives him the same, since it follows trusting they more than in anybody. Lucas and Asensio, that seem to be fixed now and that also were important then, also are still in the staff.

In definite, 'Zizou' does not want that his Madrid change or evolve, neither wants to change of cycle. The French has his and does not finish to give him an opportunity for real to any of the youngsters that has in the team. Fede Valverde is of the promises that more plays, but keeps on being acting usual, the same that a Vinicius that seems worse of what was does a pair of years. Martin Odegaard, Rodrygo Goes or Luka Jovic, that has had to do the cases, neither are of his like.
