When teachers have to bow down

(Baonghean.vn) - Coaches are called with respectful titles such as 'teacher', 'captain', 'strategist'... However, recently, many coaches have failed to show their position in the eyes of players and fans.

In the 61st minute of the match between Real Madrid and Sevilla in round 37 of La Liga, striker Morata had to leave the field to make way for teammate Lucas Vazquez. Although the home team was leading 2-1 at that time, the former Juventus player showed his dissatisfaction, sullenly walking straight to the bench without even applauding the spectators present at the Bernabeu stadium.

The TV camera also captured an extremely ugly scene when Morata ignored coach Zidane's handshake. That image has become quite common in professional football matches over the years.

In the press conference, the French strategist still defended his student: "Morata is not angry with me, he is angry with something else. I don't know, but we discussed this and now it is in the past."

Coach Zidane's humble action is completely understandable, because Real Madrid is in the most important moments of the season. Letting internal conflicts happen at this time could cause the "royal team" to suffer serious consequences. That is why Coach Zidane had to endure the insolent attitude of his students.

This is not the first time the coach nicknamed Zizou has been "embarrassed" by the players. Star Ronaldo is the one who has shown the most attitude towards coach Zidane. Typically, on September 25, 2016, during Real Madrid's away match at Las Palmas, CR7 expressed his dissatisfaction with coach Zidane's decision to take him off the field.

Most recently, in the match between Bilbao and Real Madrid at San Mames, Ronaldo cursed after this player had to give way to his junior Isco. Not only Morata, Ronaldo showed disrespect to the French coach, even James Rodriguez showed it by not shaking hands with coach Zidane because he had to leave the field in the middle of the match between Leganes and Real Madrid.

Those examples clearly reflect the way coach Zidane uses troops. Having spent time working side by side with coach Mourinho at the Bernabeu, the coach born in 1972 understands that leading a team with a series of superstars like Real Madrid will only lead to failure if he is strict and tough with the stars in the squad.

The lessons of coach Mourinho and coach Benitez at the 'royal team' are the basis for the French strategist to apply flexibility in his work.

After all, Coach Zidane's deliberate humility has brought about great results. The 2015/2016 Champions League title, reaching the 2016/2017 Champions League final (coming soon) and almost winning the La Liga title this season... those are clear results.

It seems that there is a situation where "the more humble the coach is, the more successful the team is". During Barcelona's "treble" season (2014/2015), coach Luis Enrique had to endure the contemptuous actions from star Lionel Messi.

Thanks to that, the Camp Nou team won the championship in all three arenas: Champions League, La Liga and the King's Cup. Or the case of coach Allegri at Juventus this season. After Dybala showed a rude attitude in the match between Juventus and Sassuolo, it was Bonucci's turn to express his dissatisfaction with the former AC Milan coach. But everything quickly calmed down and now Juventus is facing the opportunity to "have 3".

With images of players' disrespectful attitudes towards their coaches becoming more and more common, many fans miss former coach Alex Ferguson.

Throughout his years as a coach, the respected Scottish strategist has always shown his true position, no matter what situation his team is in. That's why almost all of his students have words of respect and love whenever they mention the 'old man'.

There is a saying: "The winner becomes king, the loser becomes a bandit", but title and glory are nothing if the teacher has to bow his head and be patient before his students./.
