The opinion that the players of Real Madrid simply “poured” the Spanish mentor may have grounds.
According to Cadena SER, the “Blancos” players gave him the nickname “New Benitez” during the first training sessions with Lopetegi in August.. According to the players, the working methods of the two specialists are very similar and did not suit their team..
As a result, already then Real players doubted that the new tutor was able to lead them to victories..
100% support was from Lopetegi from captain Sergio Ramos, however, she did not become a decisive factor against the background of discontent of other players..
In the end, everything turned into a series of very bad team results, the crown of which was the defeat of Barcelona 1: 5, after which Julen was dismissed from his post.
Earlier, Antonio Conte explained why he did not want to lead Real.
