Ødegaard hasn’t exactly come up with a winning team after he was brought in from Real Sociedad this summer. The smiles are gone. Questions hail around the coach.
Does it end with a dam?
– If Real Madrid does not qualify for the quarter-finals next week, it will be difficult for them to continue. It will be a disaster for them. And no legend will tolerate this, writes Marca commentator Carlos Carpio.
– Zidane usually has an exquisite and cordial relationship with the media. But he’s been tense lately, he notes.
Fiasco
The Marca commentator does not believe that the club’s president, Florentino Pérez, will fire Zidane.
– If he sees that there is no longer an opportunity, he will make the position available himself, Carpio believes.
– Zidane is upset that someone “invites” him to resign as soon as things go wrong. Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino is waiting for the moment when his opportunity comes.
CHECK THE OBJECTIVES: Shakhtar Donetsk – Real Madrid.
Ødegaard seems to be getting hotter for Zidane with a lot of confidence. But the newspaper commentator believes that none of the children meet expectations at this time.
The Norwegian is defeated in today’s player exchange at AS after yesterday’s performance. And the signing of Eden Hazard has been a failure, believes Carpio.
In addition to Pochettino, Raúl González, Real Madrid Castilla manager, is mentioned as a possible future successor.
