At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on April 28, the first match of the Champions League semifinals opened, Real Madrid and Chelsea in the rain to a 1-1 draw. Once Chelsea in the second round of the draw, Real Madrid will face the crisis of being eliminated, which undoubtedly makes the road of Real Madrid's championship become more and more difficult. Zidane at this time, I am afraid that the mood is heavy, if this season Real Madrid four big failure, the possibility of his dismissal will be greatly increased!
Rumors of Zinedine Zidane's dismissal have been swirling since the beginning of his tenure. As an assistant coach to Carlo Ancelotti, he was transformed into the Real Madrid manager by An's departure. However, Real Madrid's president Florentino has always been suspicious of Zidane, and perhaps deep down, Florentino does not see Zidane as a real manager. However, Zidane led Real Madrid to win the championship time and again, which put Florentino in a difficult situation. If Zidane was fired easily, it might have an impact on the team's unity. Under no circumstances, Florentino can only continue to let Zidane coaching, unless Zidane can not lead Real Madrid to win the championship, the season four big empty, he has a legitimate reason to dismiss him.
Real Madrid is facing a huge challenge this season. Currently, Barcelona has one less game and the same points as Real Madrid, and if Barcelona wins against Granada, they can overtake Real Madrid by 3 points. The outside world has speculated that Barcelona is expected to win this season's La Liga title. As for the King's Cup, Real Madrid was also eliminated early. This leaves the Champions League title as Real Madrid's only hope. However, in the first round of the match against Chelsea, Real Madrid drew with their rivals at home, and Chelsea got a valuable away goal. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Real Madrid. Chelsea's goal for this season is not the championship, and their mentality seems to be more relaxed than Real Madrid.
Obviously, the draw brought Real Madrid one step closer to a top-four finish, and Zinedine Zidane's position as manager became precarious.
