Dimitar Berbatov, Manchester United or Tottenham legend and Betfair ambassador, pointed to Mauricio Pochettino, former Spurs coach, as the ideal replacement for Zinedine Zidane in case Real Madrid decide to do without the French for the bad results. “Pochettino is the ideal choice, especially if you look at his strengths, how he leads his teams and how he makes those teams adapt to him. The way he understands football and how he likes it to be played fits in with Real Madrid”, Analyzed, to begin with, Berbatov.
“I am surprised that Mauricio still doesn't have a team. It's too long without training and I don't know why. Surely because he is waiting for the perfect moment or the perfect team, but yes, it is striking that he continues without a bench, ”Berbatov slipped as a clue that the Argentine coach is waiting for something big.
In any case, the Betfair ambassador continues to defend the figure of Zidane. “I continue to be of the opinion that Zidane should have more time”, evaluated the Bulgarian.
“I don't think anyone is going to achieve what Zidane has achieved, those three consecutive Champions. Even if he is eliminated, Zidane has earned the right to continue to focus on LaLiga and have more time. Sometimes when you have such a big figure on your bench, you have to show him more respect and give him the right margin, ”assessed Berbatov.
“Having eight injuries like Hazard has had in Madrid is rare”
Berbatov was very surprised and also saddened by the situation Hazard is going through after his new physical problems. “Having an injury or two is normal in football, but having eight in a row like Hazard has had at Real Madrid is rare. Something is wrong there “, the Betfair ambassador began to analyze.
“Now it is up to the medical service to know where the injuries come from and to prevent them. I cannot imagine a club like Real Madrid, so great, without the tools to manage these injuries and make the players improve, ”Berbatov continued.
The Bulgarian believes that Hazard is probing solutions beyond Real Madrid. “I'm sure Hazard is looking for answers everywhere: doctors in Madrid, in Belgium, and England … and when everyone gives you a different opinion, then you get much more confused and despair,” added Berbatov.
“When you have eight injuries you go into a dark tunnel more times than you would like. You can show your bravest face and try to be strong, but at the end of the day you will suffer a lot because something is clearly wrong when you have had eight injuries, ”he insisted.
The former international striker, top scorer in the Premier in 2011, believes that this whole situation can cause excess stress that does not benefit Hazard. “Is that, Without continuity, he cannot play as he did at Chelsea and that, I play something, is causing him stress and being afraid that he might break. In that case you constantly question yourself and your injuries, ”concluded Berbatov.
