^ Lmao. I don't post in this thread much but I do lurk in here from time to time. How can you say that Zidane isn't a great coach/manager after winning the CL back to back and a chance to win a third one, making it three.

One bad year doesn't make somebody 'not great'. He did a great job at Real imo.

Most renowned managers have all had bad years in their career but because Zidane has achieved something that most managers only dream about and because there are a lot of Real Madrid haters in the world that's why most people are so critical of his success and am sure that if Florentino Perez doesn't give him the sack then he will be able to turn things around.

Zidane has won 8 trophies in 2 years, no one has done better than him!
a negative period after 2 years so intense is physiological.
Real Madrid actually has a very high average age, has also invested little for new players and indeed has sold very strong players like Morata and James Rodriguez.
For me Zidane deserves to be the coach of Real Madrid at least for 1 other season with 2-3 new top players.

Even though Morata is currently playing to his potential at Chelsea, I still think that Zidane selling him was a big mistake and the James Rodriguez deal is a loan rather than Bayern Munich buying him outright and one can say that Zidane has an eye for the young talents.

Totally agree, Zidane is clearly a great coach not to mention one of the greatest players EVER. I bet players love to play for him. Real’s problem is most of their main players are now in their 30’s, no coach can defy age.

I agree with you, that Zidane actually requires new young players to be able to enliven the competition in a competition. Regeneration is needed in a team because a team will not be able to continue to be the players who are in the squad to become the core team. Young players can give new colors to the game of a team and obviously, Zidane needs it.

I am also upset with the performance of R madrid this season.They can't even settled in 4th position of this season but they are the current la liga champions.They lost 4 points from Levante on this season.It's not expected by anybody at all because they just beat Valencia by 4-1.I think R madrid is really need of good striker.Next season,I hope madrid will make some big deal like Barcelona or PSG.But on this season,I think they will end it by trophy-less.

I totally agree with you, that they would end trophyless this season. Their performance this season has seriously blown hot and cold and it is shocking. Regularly, two teams usually dominate the La Liga, with a third team just trying to sneak around the corner. But now we have Barcelona just running away with the title, it looks like it was never a competition this season for Barca. I think Real Madrid have become overly complacent this season as a result of their (Zidane's) achievements in the previous two seasons. This is seriously affecting them. I wonder if he would be sacked if things go terrible this season, and by the looks of things, things will go terrible.

In my opinion new coach wouldn't help much at this stage of the season. It is already lost and most of the players have run into some kind of mediocrity. Zidane has judged that he doesn't need big new signings in the last 2 years and they don't have a plan B. Plan B should have been their young players but they under performing with the rest of the team. It is unbelievable that Real didn't bring at least one big name during winter transfer window in order to push some new blood and some competition in the team. Especially at striker place as a competition mainly for Benzema.

I also have the same opinion in this regard. Changing coach at this time is not a good thing because Zidane has spent a lot of time with this team and he is well aware about every thick and thin of this team now, so changing Zidane can prove much more valueless. Also Zidane is one of the legendary player in the football history so he can easily tackle the situations than other coaches because he also had been under the coaching of many great coaches of football. But from the performance of R.M, I think not every great player is a great coach.

Tomorrow we have Valencia to face Barcelona in Coppa Del Rey the first leg ended with the Catalan team winning 1-0 so for this game Valencia needs to go forward and try to score but they have been on a very poor run lately losing 5 games in row and it's a great chance to lose this one also because Barcelona don't want to take chances that the hosts can eliminate them from reaching the final again so I think this clash will have couple goals from both sides Barcelona could be in a little trouble as Pique could be not ready to start with Vermaelen is already not gonna be available so my tip for this match is going to be both teams scoring.

Meanwhile, Sevilla is the first finalist having won today against Leganes. if Barcelona will score at least 1 goal tomorrow it will almost certainly be qualified because Valencia can hardly win with 2 goals of difference.

recently i found interesting news that there was a rumour although Real Madrid performance was not so good this season but their coach Zidane was linked to Chelsea and there is possibility to him move to Chelsea in this summer as the replacement of Conte and Chelsea owner has considering to get Zidane because they says Zidane is one of the best coaches in europe and will carrying good atmosphere for the team

I also get the same news about the move Zidane to Chelsea. Maybe the rumors are caused because Conte is ready to accept the decision of Chelsea management if indeed he contracts himself with Chelsea should be terminated. But, I am still optimistic that Zidane can still award a title for Real Madrid this season and one of his chances is to bring UCL trophies this year even if judging from the current team's performance it is very difficult to get that. However, Zidane should be able to prove it and the proof may extend his contract with Real Madrid.

At this point in the season I think it's pretty clear that Barca is going to win the La Liga. As a Real fan I'm really disappointed with this season, but what can you do every team has bad seasons. At least the future with real is bright with players like Marco Asensio, Dani Ceballos and tbh Casilla is a great goalkeeper. Hala Madrid!

I think barcelona is now out of dependence on star players.
because I see the barcelona game that the main team coaches is not much different from the game with the second tier team.
this shows that the quality of barcelona players is almost uniform and not an obstacle for any player can appear to be a mainstay

Barcelona save the match against Espanyol by pique late goal.Though the condition was very tough to play but somehow Barcelona save the Catalan derby.So,after this match still Barcelona is unbeaten on La liga.No doubt they are passing a wonderful season.Barcelona is far ahead from Athletico and real Madrid.I hope they will continue to dominating on the rest of match of La liga.

The result of the Catalan derby match makes it easier for Barcelona to get La Liga trophies this season and even the result of this match by unintentionally announcing that Barcelona are the La Liga champions this season. Barcelona is the only team in the unbeaten European league this season. However, the La Liga trophy I think will not make Barcelona feel satisfied because they want to get UCL trophy to complete the beauty of this season by becoming king in Europe and the possibility is still open for Barcelona.

To be honest at this point everyone thinks Barca should win this la liga race but mathematically this is not impossible has a difference of 11 points is much to convince us that the title is lost and besides the golden boot is also up for grabs as Messi and suarez could fight for this on till the last game as messi leads with only 4 goals which i think is too narrow

With a point difference that is quite far from its closest competitor in La Liga standings today is indeed all possibilities can still happen for teams can catch the team at the top of the standings. But, it may need a miracle for them because Barcelona will not remain silent to continue to be pressured by its rivals so that Barcelona will continue to win every game and it will be a challenge for its rival teams and expect Barcelona to suffer in a few games in the future. No matter how small a mistake Barcelona will surely be exploited by some teams who now continue to pursue Barcelona at the top of La Liga standings.

true Real Madrid can still have a shot on LaLiga title but it's not gonna happen as their form have taken a free fall and it's obvious that they heavily relaying on Cristiano who is this season no where to be found and I think that if Benzema leaves at the end of the season Ronaldo will follow because he have been helping him a lot and he is the reason of at least half Ronaldo goals in Madrid because Benzema attracts defenders to create space for Ronaldo also most of the time he leaves the cross for Ronaldo or try to give him the ball probably that is why Morata decided to leave because he didn't want to play that role Benzema doing.

Where would Ronaldo go? Which teams have been shopping for him?
I do agree though.
If most of his team mates in which he has become accustom to playing with all the sudden decide they want to leave and actually start too,
he will fold in and follow them so he can be on a winning team.

Levante 1 - 1 Real Madrid. Another day, another 90' minute goal against Real Madrid. They played with probably the best starting XI the team can offer, yet they couldn't win against one of the worst teams in La Liga, a team that's currently fighting to avoid the relegation zone...pathetic.

And Real Madrid keeps getting closer to the Europa League spots in the league table, now Villareal is just 2 points away, though Real still has to play against Leganés, nevertheless, things are looking bad for Zizou's team.

Didn't watch this match, but the report I'm reading says 2-2, no?

Sevilla got thrashed also, it's really a sad turn of events from their successful runs in Europa League (yes, I still whimper from the Liverpool final defeat, very fresh in memory). I really hope they somehow pip 4th place for a CL league spot... though am not sure I could consider that happening at the expense of Real Madrid. It's a huge sign of the times perhaps? Or just a blip as happened with Chelsea only two seasons ago. It can get really depressing actually to see teams like Deportivo fighting relegation, when we can remember all the entertainment they gave us just not so long ago.

yeah, it was 2-2.
Man, I remember the old Deportivo (Súper Depor) during the 90s / early 2000s, I think they played in the Champions League for 4 or 5 years in a row, won the league title once (they were used to finish in 2nd place or 3rd place), won copa del rey, spanish super sup...scary team, those were the days.
