Do you still remember the Madrid legend who was also successful as Madrid coach? Yes it was Zidane, after a long time I waited where he would go coaching he started to say that, although it was still confidential. Could it be to Spain?
Zidane is a good young coach, he has already proved when he is in Madrid. In addition to the many great offers, it is a pity that he chose to stay at home. It is said that he wants to be with France, but it seems impossible for the time being.
Of course who does not remember Zinedine Zidane's success in winning 3 Champions Leagues in a row with Real Madrid, after many failed to do so in the Champions League. Zinedine Zidane was not only successful as a player, but also successful as a coach. Indeed, many say that whoever coached Real Madrid at that time would have had the same achievements as Zidane because Real Madrid had great players and even most of them captained their respective countries. But still for me it is a very extraordinary achievement that the French coach has achieved.
Regarding rumors about him previously he was also rumored to be part of Paris Saint Germain, but so far there are no reliable rumors.
After being defeated 3-1 by Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, Barcelona immediately stepped on the gas by performing perfectly in the last two matches. Xavi side beat Villareal 3-0 and then demolished Athletic Bilbao 4-0.
Meanwhile, Valencia have been less consistent this season, in the last three games they only got two draws and one defeat. Barcelona can add to the misery for Valencia, the visitors will be looking to get a win to keep their distance from Real Madrid. With an unstable team condition, Valencia will find it difficult to win against Barcelona.
As one of their preparations to welcome Bayern Munich today, they certainly have to be prepared for all the risks even though at home the ordeal is much harder if they can't match Bayern Munich. Maybe indeed Xavi will think hard so that his players can show a mentality that is not easily weak when battered by the Bayern players. For now, La Liga is still quite safe in the second position and their target remains the ambition to get at least one trophy and that is only an opportunity in La Liga but not with the Champions League.
There is no time for Barcelona to play defensively, meaning they have to attack completely for this match, as they have no other choice but to win this game. But the downside is that if you attack in total, it will certainly create gaps in the back line, that's what they have to anticipate. Bayern Munich I think it will be safe and carefree because they have made it through this group stage. But of course they will not give up so easily at Barcelona because they will also maintain their good record against Barcelona.
