The leaving of Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo was a real shock and trial for the Royal Club and its fans. Now, we can only wonder who exactly the team will look without its charismatic coach and main star.
It’s still not known what playing model Julen Lopetegui will choose for “Real” but it’s obvious that his build-up won’t be tailored for one player, as before. Now, even the team stars will need some time to regroup and get used to playing not on Ronaldo. We can already say that the role of such players, as Isco and Marco Asensio, will gain in significance. Their skills are known to Julen Lopetegui for working with Spanish teams of different ages.
“Real Madrid” needs some changes but no one has expected that they can be so rapid. The team’s squad still has a lot of top-rate stars that are still making progress. In the last few years, the main transfers of the team are young players, so now everybody expects some progress from them. For these players, it’s time to demonstrate why “Real” paid its attention exactly to them.
Besides, it can be said with certainty that live football today with Lopetegui’s team won’t be boring and predictable.
What to Expect from New “Real”?
Certainly, the team needs time to regroup but the problem is that its fans and officials don’t want to wait and demand results here and now. That’s why we can say that the new coach faces quite a difficult situation. On the one hand, his team has many stars:
- Sergio Ramos;
- Bale;
- Isco;
- Modric;
- Kroos.
On the other hand, it’s necessary to update the squad in the future and enter the transfer market. There’s a high likelihood that, in the near future, we’ll see old kind “Real” that’ll spend enormous sums of money on new players. The likelihood increases if we look at the competitor of the Madrid team, “Barcelona” that’s not refrained from spending money on players it really needs.
The first games of the season will already let us make cautious conclusions on what Madrid “Real” under the guidance of Lopetegui is and what peculiarities it has. One thing is obvious: the tea will be still a main favorite at all tournaments it takes part in and will fight there until the last second.
