"Atletico Antoine Griezmann's goal laid bare the attitude of most of Real Madrid's players, and many of them did not defend to make it so easy for the Atletico striker to score."

“…… There was a clear crisis, Kroos was still trotting back, Ronaldo did not continue to follow the goal-scorer Felipe, just watched the Brazilian run past from the side, Danilo did not contribute to the attack, he did not even try to block Torres, and Chu and Isco disappeared in this defence. ”

"Rayo Vallecano wouldn't be where they are today without Jemes, who is capable of coaching a strong team. Without a doubt, if I were to recommend a manager to Florentino, I would recommend him to sign Jemes. Sooner or later, Hermes will leave Rayo Vallecano, because there will always be strong teams reaching out to him. ”

……

Zidane frowned, looking at the news.

This is still a Madrid derby win.

If you lose, I can't believe what kind of public opinion environment it will be.

Zidane sighed.

It's no wonder that some people say that Real Madrid manager is one of the most difficult positions in the world.

He closed his eyes and rubbed the corners of his eyes.

He didn't pay much attention to the news of the change of leadership in the media.

Since the day he sat in this position, there have been talks about "over-coaching", "rookie coach", "taking the rest of Carlo Ancelotti's tactics and eating the old book...... News like this will always appear in the newspapers from time to time, and many people like to talk about who Real Madrid's manager will be next season, completely ignoring Zinedine Zidane's position as Real Madrid manager.

This is true not only of the media, but even of many Real Madrid supporters.

Zida thought to himself, maybe some players probably think the same way.

But that's the reality, that's life.

Sitting in this position, Zidane is ready to accept it all.

Leaving aside the media criticism of the managerial position, Zidane cares about the first news.

Marca newspaper means that this goal conceded by Real Madrid should be Kroos's back, and then other Real Madrid teammates also shared some of the pot, this is their opinion.

Zidane believes that although their conclusions are completely wrong, the process of analysis is not entirely unreasonable.

Kroos was the player with the most runs in Real Madrid's last game.

Saying that there was a problem with his attitude towards the game, Zidane was the first to disagree.

He clicked on a data chart provided by his assistant.

The data shows that in the Madrid derby, Atletico Madrid has covered a total distance of 119km, which is 11km more than Real Madrid's 108km.

Saul had the most distance at 13.08km.

As Real Madrid's player with the most distances, Toni Kroos ran 11.05km in the whole field.

Real Madrid's midfielders are not as good as their opponents, and that may be the problem. In addition, Kroos was the player with the most movements, but he still missed Antoine Griezmann, causing the team to concede goals, which also shows that diligence does not mean the intensity of the defence.

Zidane began to develop some distrust in the midfield combination he had created, perhaps inherited from Carlo Ancelotti.

At that moment, the assistant pushed open the door to Zidane's office.

"Qizu, I have bad news for you. I was informed by the team doctor that Luka Modric was injured and that he had injured his left ankle in the previous game. They expect Luka Modric to miss the next two to three weeks. ”

The assistant looked worried.

Hearing the news, Zida also chuckled in his heart.

Gareth Bale, Marcelo and Karim Benzema are all yet to recover from injury, and Modric has added a luxury package to his injuries, which is certainly not good news.

But.

Does this also seem like an opportunity for adjustment?

Zidane was thoughtful.

……

The next day.

From the training map published on Real Madrid's official website, Real Madrid fans are half happy and half worried.

The concern is that Modric did not participate in the team's joint training, which is a real hammer on the news of his injury. Fans love the technical midfielder, but they are also worried that the absence of the Magic Flute will affect the team's results for the rest of the game.

And happily, Bale is finally back.

The Welshman took part in part of the team's training sessions, completing basic training sessions such as tackling hoops with his team-mates, and it was Bale's first touch of the ball after 43 days.

Although Bale will not travel to Valencia with the team, the return of the powerful winger is on the agenda.

On the same day, the match between Barcelona and Sevilla came to an end.

At the Camp Nou, with the goals of Messi and Pique, Barcelona chased two goals in a row in the unfavorable situation of falling behind by one goal, and also achieved a reversal.

Twenty-six rounds of league matches.

Barcelona topped the table with 66 points.

Real Madrid is second with 57 points; Atletico Madrid is third with 55 points.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are still nine points apart.

And this season's La Liga, there are only the last twelve rounds left.

……

Carvajal and Ramos were unable to play against Levante due to the accumulation of yellow card suspensions, plus Bale, Benzema and Modric, who were absent due to injury, the five main players, nearly half of the main squad players are exempt in the next league.

But even so, against Levante, Real Madrid has only one way to win.

Before the game, the Italian newspaper Milan Sport rumored that Florentino was in contact with Juventus manager Allegri.

In last season's Champions League match, Real Madrid was eliminated by Allegri's Juventus, and it was that game that made Florentino interested in Juventus coach Allegri. According to Milan Sport, Allegri has also been recommended by AC Milan senior Galliani, who has a good personal relationship with Florentino.

……

Amid the disturbing rumours, Zinedine Zidane travelled his team to Valencia to face their opponents in this round of the league, Levante.

Levante is a small football club located in Valencia, eastern Spain, founded in 1909, named after the coast of the city of Valencia, Spain, which has a longer history than the city's powerhouse Valencia FC.

Levante came from the ranks of Valencia, and although they can't match Valencia FC in terms of results, they have had the likes of Di Stefano and Mijatovic in their history, and Cruyff also played there in 1980-81.

Valencia City Stadium.

This is the home of Levante and can accommodate 25,354 spectators.

Levante are currently bottom of La Liga this season, but that hasn't dampened the mood of the fans. For the match against Real Madrid, more than 20,000 fans poured into the stands at the Valencia City Stadium.

Many fans may be coming for Real Madrid's big-name stars.
