The Merengue coach has made several mistakes that have led him to lose the confidence of the fans and have it today on a tightrope

Surely it is difficult to find a Real Madrid fan at the beginning of this season, after moving to Barcelona in Super Cup and conquer the Club World Cup, he thought that the team was going to come down in the way he did. However, that's the way soccer is and the merengue club went under. The most recent bump, which represented the elimination in Copa del Rey at the hands of Leganés, ignited the few alarms that still remained off.

The most resounding of all this is that we are in the presence of a team that did not change in its essence with respect to which won the last two Champions League and a League. The squad did not seem to have loose points, as it won its last apron comfortably.

Unfortunately, the team today lives a totally different reality, since it is eliminated from almost all the competitions that it disputes, just three months after having started the season.

However, specialized media and fans in social networks have been responsible for pointing out the various faults of the white cast and attributed to Zinedine Zidane as the main culprit in the current debacle.

However, it is worth wondering what are the mistakes actually made by the French coach?

Excess confidence and stubbornness

Zidane thought that confidence has no measure and was wrong. The strategist believed that having full confidence in his players and above all to ratify his decisions was always going to prove him right. The coach missed, especially when placing a B team on the court against Leganés. The result was that he ended up paying the bill with a humiliating elimination at the Santiago Bernabéu.

On the other hand, just as the stubborn attitude of Zidane as a player was known, this characteristic is becoming evident as a technician. The Frenchman insists on men who do not surrender, like Benzema, and stubbornly and systematically ends up stumbling. The French coach, as a good former player, has made the love of his players and they of his. Zizou feels special attachment for some of his boys and he is noticed only with the fact of not having renewed part of his staff. He relies blindly on the payroll and, although some of his men do not respond, the coach gives them more space and still believes that at some point the players will respond.

Background

To conclude, although this is not exactly an error of his, also the good background is one of the reasons why he is against the wall. Having won the European Champion Clubs' Cup and a League in his first two years within the institution, have generated a much greater demand in a fanatic already demanding. This fact in the end leads him to have much more pressure on his shoulders, because in Madrid, you either win or you leave, and if Zidane does not beat PSG in his next Champions League crossing, the hours seem to have counted them.
