Zidane puts all doubts to rest

(Baonghean.vn) - The joy of Real Madrid fans seems to have multiplied when the "new captain" Zidane had a very good start. And the "galaxy" welcomed the new teacher with a resounding victory that could not be more perfect when hosting Deportivo at the Bernabeu stadium in the early morning of January 10. Now, all doubts about the coaching ability of "Zizou" as well as the strength of the Royal team are gradually being erased?

Impressive debut of new coach Zidane.

Surely President Perez is floating with the emotions of victory with the team. The decision to fire Benitez, keep Ronaldo and put Zidane in the hot seat is probably one of his wisest decisions at the moment. Real did not just win in the simple way of a strong team but a great victory in terms of people, tactics, scores and of course with the media when it extinguished the doubts, insinuations and even warnings in the past.

Once again, construction tycoon Perez is "indebted" to the French legend. And once again, people see that his previous words are correct: "Zidane was born to lead Real Madrid. Bernabeu belongs to Zidane. The White Vultures belong to Zidane." That's right, Zinedine Zidane is not only trusted by the president but also supported by Cristiano Ronaldo and many other stars at Real. The former French midfielder has pursued an attacking style of play in his first match as coach, which the fans and the entire team wanted, as evidenced by a perfect 5-0 victory over Deportivo in round 19 of La Liga.

The “Galaxy” had a satisfying performance for the fans. It can be seen that the change was not in Bale’s hat-trick and Benzema’s double because that is what they usually do. Even though Ronaldo was unlucky not to score, people still realized a very important thing that coach Benitez could not do, which is the high spirit and the cohesion of the stars.

A positive change to become a sufficient condition for the "Galaxy" to shine brightly and dispel the suffocating, gloomy atmosphere at the Bernabeu Paradise for so long. A new era has officially begun - the legendary Zinedine Zidane era with a vitality that is always full and intense.

Benzema opened the scoring.

The key point for Real right now is that the French coach does not have many "variations" in terms of tactics. Still using the familiar 4-2-3-1 formation, Zidane has made small changes in personnel when Daniel Carvajal returns to guard the left wing and Isco takes on the role of conductor. But the center of attention is still on the attacking trio Bale - Benzema - Ronaldo. However, the strength of the White Vulture has been significantly enhanced.

Deportivo, despite being the “phenomenon” of La Liga this season, is still a “defeated general” against Real’s dizzying all-out attacking style and the rising mental strength of Real. The home team’s attacks are always full of enthusiasm. The white shirts appear in almost every position and hot spot on the field. Obviously, Zidane not only knows about attacking tactics, but the French football legend also learned a lot from Mourinho and Ancelotti about defense. That is the method of blocking the opponent by area of ​​Gegenpressing, in which the 4 “strikers” Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema and Isco are the first line of defense.

When Zidane's philosophy of total speed attack was being thoroughly demonstrated by the White Vultures, every position, every moment, even with only the last minute of extra time left, Deportivo's net still had to shake for the 5th time. A beautiful goal ended Real Madrid's memorable victory on the debut day of new coach Zinedine Zidane.

The tests are still there for Zidane and his players, but the concept of "all beginnings are difficult" is clearly no longer suitable for the new captain. Another resounding victory will come, then the Bernabeu will explode again next Sunday when the White Vultures welcome a Sporting team struggling at the bottom of the rankings.

Zidane – the magic foot on the pitch is showing a new Zidane with a bald scholarly head containing the philosophy of total attack football, converging the quintessence on the coaching bench, causing skeptics to seek “revisionism”. And boss Perez also partly explains the reason why he became the “Bernabeu assassin”.
