[KingLeo10]

He's finished.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

He's finished.

Finally

 

[Horatio]

Resurrection spell incoming...

 

[Windhook]

Ramos played this game like some grandpa looking for respect... Havertz dominated him on every ball.

 

[Horatio]

Ramos hoped to have a dramatic performance here, just having returned in time coming off of an injury.
Probably to include in his second documentary that is coming out.

 

[El Gato]

He's finished.

A man makes this corpse of a team a contender in Liga and CL despite team scoring more injuries than goals.

Let me enjoy my RM loss, dawg.

 

[jairzinho]

He's finished.

Hard to see him continue, especially If we win the double. Slim chance he survives a trophyless season.

High chance

No successors around save a downgrade + lots of excuses to make (injuries, corona, still competing on both fronts)

He's done a great job with what he had, he's surely staying.

Not sure still playing a midfield of Kroos, Modric, and Casemiro is helping his case. Seems to me that he's going the EV way, trying to squeeze the last drop of energy from aging veterans instead of focusing on developing the talent he needs, especially in midfield.

From next season, he really needs to phase out Modric, and give Kroos some rest too.

Play Valverde, and give Blanco some chances(looked promising when he played).

But the problem is that his whole football is very dependent on players making the difference individually. There's a very basic and utilitarian system around that, so it's tough for Zidane to bring up youngsters. To develop a younger core you need better tactics because these players won't give you the individual quality right away needed for Zidane-ball.

You need a system that would fully incorporate fresh talent. Style-wise, Zidane is the wrong fit. It's much like the situation we were in with EV, except Zidane is the class version of EV. Still a wrong fit though.

Zidane is best if Madrid find ways to sign superstars. He'd be a top manager for players like Mbappe. If you give him good, but not incredible talent, he'll struggle to produce a top team imo.

Think of him like the reversed Klopp.
