Real MadridTOSeveral ‘top’ players have gotten out of hand despite their great wardrobe management
But Ceballos is not the only one who has ‘faced’ Zidane. Next to,there are several ‘top’ players that have gotten out of hand for the coachdespite his great wardrobe management. Important first-level players in whom there was great sports interest to continue but Zidane has not been able to retain or squeeze their full potential.Ceballos, Morata, James, Kovacic or Bale are some of Zidane’s ‘black sheep’ in Madrid.
MORATA
Alvaro Morata returned to Madrid as a star after two great years at Juventus, where he was the protagonist, played close to 100 games, scored 27 goals and became the starter in the 2015 Champions League final against Bara. Zidane received him with open arms because he needed another nine ‘top’, but he never gave him the status that Morata shouted for.The striker played a lot in the 16-17 and was decisive in the double (43 games and 20 goals), but he was not present in the great nights, in the great parties. That eroded his relationship with Zidane, from whom he did not want to hear any more siren songs when in the summer he made the decision to leave.As much as the technician tried to convince him, Morata did not want to know anything. He packed his suitcase and went to Chelsea in search of that role that Zidane denied him at all times.
KOVACIC
Unlike Morata, the Croatian held out for one more season despite being part of Zidane’s ‘plan B’ in the 16-17 season. The technician considered him an important player, but the weight of the trident at the timeCasemiro-Modric-Kroosprevented him from giving the role that Kovacic wanted.The patience of the medium was exhausted and Zidane was finding it increasingly difficult to please him and satisfy the desire for minutes and prominence that Mateo wanted.Until the player exploded. He did not want to stay despite the fact that the coach left and with Zidane’s return to Madrid, nor did he consider his return despite the fact that his transfer to Chelsea had ended.He did not want to know anything about Madrid or ZZand pressed as much as he could to stay in the English set.
JAMES RODRGUEZ
James followed in Morata’s footsteps after the double at 16-17. The Colombian could not bear his status as a substitute, a member of Zidane’s ‘plan B’ andI did not hesitate to pack my way to Bayern. And not one season, but two. He left very burned with the white technician. Something that was mutual because they did not finish having ‘feeling’ at any time. All this despite the fact that for the club James was a ‘galactic’ who had to be reactivated for many reasons.His sports potential was beyond doubt, but Zizou did not manage to recover the spectacular version of the Colombian in his first season in Madrid at 14-15. The divorce was announced and confirmed immediately after closing the season 16-17. In addition, there was an Isco-James pulse in sports and Zidane opted for the malagueo side. This season James came back,He was left with the lack of an agreement to go out again in the summer and it has been seen that, between some things and others, the Zidane-James mix does not work.
BALE
He is the only one who has not left Madrid despite having spent three seasons in serious trouble in the white team, two of them with Zidane as coach.He has not left due to economic circumstances that have made it impossible to carry out a transfer operation, not due to the lack of desire of the player and, above all, the coach:“If Bale can leave tomorrow, the better,” he said in the last preseason.. Zidane bet everything on the BBC as soon as he arrived and defended initially Bale’s privileged position in the team. But little by little the relationship was wearing away, until it was completely broken. Zidane has never managed to straighten his relationship with the Gals and the player, least of all his representative, nor have they done much to fix it.It is possibly Zidane’s most stormy relationship with a player since he took charge of Real Madrid..
Onions
Ceballos is the last great player that Zidane has gotten out of hand for one reason or another. The club had a great interest in continuing to count on the footballer after the great European Under 21 that he did and in the absence of midfielders. Also because they trusted his talent. But Zidane opened the door wide for him from the beginning. Ceballos also did not see it clearly after confessing the lack of confidence he had noticed in the technician after his first season of white. Now he has staged that lack of harmony with the white technician.“I have not spoken to Zidane since I left Madrid”. It is the last ‘black sheep’ of Zidane.
