From Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium, Real Madrid sent a message to the rest. Meanwhile, Zinedine Zidane also sent a warning to the office of President Florentino Perez.
On April 10, Real Madrid defeated Barca in a super classic match. It was also the match that Zidane had to use a series of “B class” players such as Alvaro Odriozola, Isco, Marcelo, Eder Militao.
Answering the reporters, the French legend could not hide his anxiety. He is afraid the home team “runs out of battery”. After the super classic match, Real Madrid had to move to Merseyside to meet Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the Champions League second leg.
Distracted Zidane?
Zidane’s real suffered many physical and mental losses from the beginning of the season. A ruthless storm of trauma swept the headquarters of the club, causing the team to lose people consecutively.
“Los Blancos” shuffled it. Each time, Zidane received criticism. He was also questioned by President Perez after a bad start in the Champions League group stage.
Amidst the storm, the fate “Zizou” is still saved. Stars like Karim Benzema, Luka Modric or Toni Kroos … have “loaded” all the best qualities to pull the teacher out of the quagmire.
However, that also does not help the French legend get rid of skepticism. At one point, everything seemed to shut down for Zidane. He had to “hide” in the dressing room.
The relationship between the French rulers and President Perez is said to be no longer salty. That partly comes from the controversy related to central defender Sergio Ramos.

The Real Madrid star informed Zidane that he had to undergo surgery and needed 6-8 weeks of rest. The French strategist is said to have not communicated with the club.
The move of “Zizou” further divided his relationship with other high-ranking figures. At that time, everyone said that the former “Les Bleus” player was very passionate about the team.
Immediately, a warning bell about Zidane’s future rang out in the Bernabeu courtyard. The French legend still has a contract with the club until June 2022, but that does not guarantee anything.
During his first term at Real Madrid, “Zizou” left the club before the binding effect ended. That was 2018, not long after the Champions League final.
Zidane and President Perez once existed a close relationship, but there was a time when the most powerful man representing Madrid “fell in love” with captain of the team.
President Perez is even said to probe the situation of coaches like Max Allegri, Antonio Conte, Julian Nagelsmann and Joachim Loew … If Real Madrid slips, a ruthless decision could be made by the club’s super-head. given.
Zidane understands that. In recent days, thoughts in this ruler have started to shake. After winning Liverpool in the quarterfinals of the first leg of the Champions League, the French legend said: “Back to leading Juventus? That place is still important to me.
But now I’m coaching the best football team in the world and I feel lucky. ”
Zidane always has plans B. In January, before the match against Celta Vigo, former Juventus star said: “You can sign a 10-year contract here (Real Madrid – PV), but tomorrow you can leave completely. On the contrary, you can sign a year and stay for a long time.
El Confidencial for that “Zizou” mind began to flutter. The 48-year-old strategist no longer holds a firm stance. Specifically, Zidane is looking for another opportunity if the club no longer needs him.

The value of Zidane
At Real Madrid, cruelty is everywhere. The world doesn’t stop for one person either. Zidane is very good, but not bigger than the team. Outside of President Perez’s office, many candidates were willing to wait for the opportunity.
Zidane is unique. On ESPN, journalist Mark Ogden once described the excitement of “Zizou” in that he knows how to solve problems. On the field, the French captain always finds the formula to win.
The French strategist has done that. From Madrid to Anfield, Zidane’s Real Madrid subdued Liverpool and Barca, respectively. “Los Blancos” did that even when Cristiano Ronaldo left the club, famous midfield pair Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane were sidelined for different reasons.
Zidane also has a close relationship and is in regular contact with Kylian Mbappe, the target of President Perez. El Confidencial revealed “Zizou” persuaded his compatriot striker to go to Madrid, and Mbappe fell in love.
Recently, France Football said Mbappe refused to renew his contract with PSG. He wants to wear a Real Madrid shirt “at request from Zidane”. Kylian Mbappe even refused 3 offers to extend the contract that the Parc des Princes team made.
If Mbappe goes to Real Madrid, it is because he wants to work with Zidane. A few days ago, President Perez was re-elected and will run the club until 2025. The most powerful man in the team will have many projects to do.
The Madrid representative’s plan could be broken if Zidane is no longer there. Up to now, the French legend has not yet confirmed whether he will continue to stick or break up with “Los Blancos”. This worries President Perez.
On the morning of April 15, Zidane put on a patchwork, if not the worst, squad to face Liverpool at Anfield. At the end of the match, the representative of Madrid completed the goal when they won a 0-0 draw, the score was enough to help the club reach the semi-finals.
Zidane humbly celebrates, and that is also a message to President Perez. Even without a really powerful squad, Real Madrid still advanced in the Champions League and was part of the race to win the La Liga championship.
If President Perez handed Mbappe striker Mbappe to Zidane, Real Madrid would have created even more interesting things. For the most powerful man in the team, “Zizou” is the club’s priceless treasure. Keeping this military leader, the team is also close to owning Mbappe.
