The scoreboard in the match between PSG vs Real Madrid shows a score of 3-0. PSG won a big victory, Real Madrid fell seriously. Two goals from former El Real player Angel de Maria and goals from Thomas Meunier hurt El Real supporters. In situations like this, the position of the coach seat is certainly one of the highlights. Will Zidane last long as Real Madrid coach this season? This will depend on the team’s performance and results in subsequent matches. This time, Zidane will face serious demands and pressure from the club’s fans.
Imagine, at the beginning of this season, Real Madrid poured out 300 million euros to bring in some players. Surely this was done to support the coach’s project. But so far what has been poured out is slightly inversely proportional to the performance and results achieved on the gridiron. The results of this in the champions league could be a strong alarm for Zidane’s position. Without reinforced by its flagship players, such as Cavani, Mbappe and Neymar, PSG can still destroy Real Madrid’s defense. On the one hand, especially the defense side, Real Madrid did lose several pillars due to bookings. Sergio and Nacho are still banned from playing last season because of the accumulation of cards. While Marcelo is still struggling with injuries.
However, Real Madrid is still filled with several stars who can rival and even put PSG on its turf. One of them is Eden Hazard brought in this season from Chelsea. Hazard was considered to be a surgeon, but instead played less nicely at the Parc Des Princes. This is understandable because Hazard has just returned from a period of recovery for his injury. But a record that was quite disappointing for a team of classmates Real Madrid is failing to record the right shot on goal against PSG.
Sadly, Keylor Navas, PSG’s new goalkeeper and who has just moved from Real Madrid this season, is looking good for PSG. While Courtois, who was chosen by Zidane once again failed to keep the net. After the match, Zidane tried to examine the cause of the defeat. According to Zidane is one of the reasons his team’s defeat was in midfield. PSG has mastered the midfield game which made it difficult for Real Madrid. Zidane also added that PSG controlled every line of the game. Therefore, it is hard for Real Madrid players to develop the game and even create kicks against PSG.
It’s okay for Zidane to find and explain the cause of his team’s defeat. But that explanation had already taken place after the match. It’s too late and can only be a lesson for the next matches. Surprisingly, Zidane did not try to change his team’s game during the match even though there was something that was happening to his team. Here, it can be seen that Zidane may still be struggling to find the right formula to create a strong team. Especially to unite many talents in one team. There are players who have played with Real Madrid for a long time and have just arrived this season. Zidane still needs time to combine these talents. For this result, Real Madrid is in the last position of group A. Indeed the competition has just begun, but the defeat in the first party could be a red light to clean up.
This match can also be an alarm for Zidane. His success with Real Madrid in the past did not necessarily secure the bench. Well, like other trainers, coaches are contracted to deliver results and not just because of past achievements. Will Zidane survive or be sacked soon? It all depends on the results of the team in subsequent matches.
