Zidane won 3 CL base largely on Luck & playing players in there best most optimal position i hope he can at least do this, if nothing else.
Stop trying to shoehorn players into positions they don't fit so you can fit other players with brand names into the XI.
Puig was fucking fantastic next to FdJ the other day.
I know, first pre-season game, but I will be pissed if he is not tried again there by Koeman.
Huge LOL
You are comparing Koeman, who comes in here with the most difficult job in the world (to disrupt Amigos power, AND to build a new team from scratch) with
Zidane, who inherited an ideal and optimal squad of world-class player at their best phase of their careers, and managed that.
"We were lazy in our pressing. That is a consequence of bad fitness, bad pre-season. Some players didn't even have a pre-season. Some players had a wrong state of mind."
I dont know what was so impressive about the 2nd half, we played with a bit of pace & verticality. Just shows how low we have sunk 😂🤣
I have to wonder if Koeman thinks his size will be an issue in a double pivot.
Guess Puig will just have to prove Koeman that he can do it in a double pivot as well.
Mourinho it s a has been for years.He throws his players under the bus to hide the fact he's a dinosaur in football terms right now.Jose Mourinho blasts 'lazy' Tottenham players after Everton defeat:

I wish our players or manager/coach can be this self-critical about their shitty performance, poor mindset, and general incompetence.
Mou has been my least favorite football person along with Pepe, Cuntmar, Arbeloa, Suarez, etc but I like how he is always honest and straight-forward whenever his team displayed shit performance. Nobody has been like that since Pep or Lucho era.

Your point being?
Looking beyond the fact that i didn't compare the two, i simply said i hope Koeman at least comes in & plays the players in there optimal position unlike our last two Managers, and then highlighted what zidane did with his madrid players, which is to play them in there correct positions, amoung other things, but he wasn't trying to shoehorn players into positions they don't fit.
So again your point is what exactly?.
Puig was good next to FDJ but his best position is more advanced role.

Ronald Koeman: "We are now working towards the new season and I assume that we will have to do it with the current group of players we are preparing with." [fox sports] https://t.co/CQ6uny7BX5
