After an embarrassing loss in La Liga national derby against Barcelona, Real Madrid coach Lopetegui had to retire from class, unfortunately being sacked for second time in that time. Compared to magnificent scenery when he first took office, Lopetegui's current situation can't help but confuse people!
After Lopetegui's dismissal from class, there have been rumors for some time that former Chelsea champion coach Conte will take over Real Madrid and become head coach. Real Madrid did have contact with Italians, but Conte himself said he didn't intend to coach Real Madrid at moment and Real Madrid eventually had to hastily drop it! In desperation, Real Madrid promoted Solari, head coach of second team, to head coach of first team, which meant that he could act as a firefighter.
The 42-year-old Argentine had his first training session since taking office yesterday. In eyes of new Real Madrid coach, current Real Madrid is far from frisky Real Madrid of Triple Crown era. as one, united as one, everyone's heart is filled with desire to win, desire to win everything. But now Real Madrid is in a lot of pain, players are also very awkward on field, and it seems to everyone that everyone is not very happy. Recent draws and consecutive defeats have exacerbated situation, and morale of Real Madrid, already in a very sluggish state, has sunk to very bottom. Moreover, in such an important game as national derby, rival Barcelona conceded five goals, and only goal of Real Madrid was scored by a Brazilian defender, Real Madrid felt ashamed of all this.
Solari: “But people want to change this situation, people want to change it, this is a championship team with fighters, although we are in a difficult situation right now, but I see the team's interest in it. Wanting to get out of trouble."
Solari has not slightest grudge against title of interim coach.
Solari: "I am full of expectations, I am very happy with this title, working at Real Madrid is a very good opportunity, no matter what position, not only first team coach, I will be like everyone who was here here, like those who are not here, last drop of sweat has been shed over this T-shirt."
However, many compare Real Madrid's new head coach to Real Madrid legend Zidane because Zidane also coached Real Madrid's second tier team before moving to first team as head coach. Even their reasons for taking office are very similar.
Solari: "Zidane is one of greatest figures in this club, whatever great adjective you can come up with to describe him, we shouldn't compare him to anyone because he is second to none."
Although Solari and Zidane have almost same experience, but in terms of personal charm and positioning of Real Madrid club, he still has a certain gap with legendary Real Madrid manager Zidane, unless he can play this season . he won Champions League like Zidane beat Benitez. But it is a bit difficult for current Real Madrid team to do this. Real Madrid's performance in Champions League is undeniably outstanding, while in La Liga their ratings have plummeted. Climbing straight up to ninth place in La Liga, Real Madrid are 7 points behind first place Barcelona in standings!
It is worth noting that in addition to Barcelona, the top three teams in Western Super League this season, two other teams passed chain one after other. Madrid also finished in fourth place, second place was taken by previously unknown Alaves, and third place was taken by La Liga veteran team Sevilla. All this surprised fans. The Madrid duo's collective decline has provided opportunities for these mid-level teams. They see a further place in rankings. I believe these factors will make La Liga this season more exciting and not just a trio like before. Turn around, Erzhenzhuang!
