“Real Madrid always have to have plan B or C and it seems that they hit the ground running”

Four former members of the Spanish First Division passed through the yellow microphones of Cadena SER on Monday. El Larguero opened his Sanhedrin with Manu Carreño at the controls of the gathering they attended Kiko, Álvaro Benito, Raúl Ruiz and Gustavo López to comment on the letter published exclusively in AS by Zinedine Zidane to say goodbye to the Real Madrid fans.

The four, from their point of view having passed through the elite, focus on the current situation and how it has changed. “There was some reason that could be guessed. We know that when Zidane makes a decision, it is difficult for him to change. It is difficult to be a coach at Real Madrid, he is a crusher. Even when he won three Champions League, there were no criticisms. He has ended up leaving “, Álvaro Benito began.

Kiko pointed to the amount of things that had to happen and empathized with the French. “I was surprised by what Zinedine Zidane has swallowed. He appeared at a delicate moment and it is his right to feel supported. A little affection has been missing. There are shapes and forms. I was surprised that he didn't stick his face out for Zizou “, said the former striker.

Next, Gustavo López, valued Zidane's decision and how the Frenchman has always defended what he believed in. “He showed that he has convictions and values ​​and that when he decides there is no going back. He did it as a player and as a coach. You have to feel hurt to make those statements. He has experienced many joys in there and for him, protecting the dressing room is his priority In this letter too and you have to read between the lines. It means that he did not feel wrapped up and with the authority that a coach needs to feel around the locker room of the people he has on top of him, “said the Argentine.

Raul Ruiz, for his part, evaluated the situation with respect to his peers and praised the way in which he changed his mind when speaking after his departure. “There are many criticisms and this happens to everyone, there are leaks … But one thing is that it is done and another, that it is well done. He is the only one who has reacted like this and has had the courage to say it publicly, with many tanks and saying what no one has said publicly, “acknowledged the former Logroñés.

To this reaction, Benito was right to point out the differences between the elite coaches and later, the elite within these with another type of power within their clubs. “It happens one hundred percent of the time except with certain coaches who are authority. Zidane, among them. Being a legend of the club as a player has a plus. I do not think they have those intrusions, those messages to their waterline. I think that if Klopp, Guardiola, Simeone … If they saw something like that they would make the same decision. Another thing is the rest of the mortals and you have to accept the rules as they are, “he said.

Ancelotti and the “blind sticks”

Álvaro Benito was also very critical of the process of choosing a substitute for Zidane. The ex of Real Madrid assured that he sees the club somewhat lost. “It seems that they are going blind, that there is no fixed idea. This was not tangible, but it seemed that it could happen and Real Madrid has to have plan B and C in sports. The biggest club … They are shuffled names, from many profiles and nothing is clear.With the coach's work, you can see in the current European champion that it is not a secondary position, it is the most important. Carletto knows what it is to sit there and he handles the message well, he gives a good image, but he is at another point in his career that is not going up, that he is not going to take over the world “, said the also collaborator of this house.

“They do not give importance to what it is to have a good coach,” Narváez said. who also wanted to value the importance of having a good tenant on the bench.
