Zidane looks younger with a shaved head at 40 than he did with hair and a bald spot at 25.

Madrid didn't criticize Ancelotti, the players for the most part enjoyed having him there and the fans enjoyed his playing style, as Madridista I will always be grateful for him bringing us La Decima

Just like when he was a player, Zidane makes football very simple

me in life: "you can't win them all, it's the intention that counts!" me in football: *peace was never an option*

Hala Madrid ! Zidane doesn’t get enough credit. He turned the same team, that Benitez floundered with, into a squad that won 3 consecutive UCL titles. During Zidane’s first stint, he had no major superstar signings, in fact Real Madrid lost good players to other teams. He was such an amazing player, he commands respect. I couldn’t imagine any player directly challenging Zidane, because he could open up a can of whup ass on them. In 2020, I like how this team is shaping up with some fantastic young players really stepping up. Perez, as President has produced a lot of wins and has set a level of excellence and high expectations.

Shout out to Sergio Ramos for still being the best defender in the world every season despite the shenanigans

Zidane is in a class if his own. Its impossible for both players and Presidents not to have respect for him. He was the yardstick for playing excellence. You just need to go back to 2006 when Zidane came out of international retirement to guide France to the world cup finals. The French players talked of the rumour of his return and when he turned up at clairfontaine , the players went on record talking of the feeling that God himself had returned to guide the team. There is probably no player in the history of the game who consistently took the responsibility to provide solutions for his team. Think back even to his les blues debut. ,2-0 down to the Czech team. He came on as sub for debut and scored the 2 goals to bring parity. This in my view is the background to why he can manage real Madrid so easily. And why he commands huge respect. He is unique as a player and now coach. Imv.

Zidane has strong personality and reputation, that's the key. As a player, when Makelele was sold and Del Bosque was sacked by Perez, team leader and captain that time Fernando Hierro was released, because he didn't approve the moves. Madrid's golden boy and the next captain Raul who seemingly had the best reputation among fans didn't speak a word against Perez. But Zidane said exactly what he thought about the moves and it was not what Perez would like. Still, he was untouchable and stayed long enough to retire as a Real Madrid player and was brought back as a manager(twice).

I have been a real Madrid fan all My adult life, and your analysis is spot on. Great video

Tremendous and very-well researched video Adrian.👏🏽 As an avid La Liga fan who dwells every night around many Spanish sources, this video is as good as it will get for non-Spanish speakers.👍🏽✌🏽💙❤️

Thanks for the amazing content! It's very appreciative and even more now that football is on hiatus

Z.Z is one of his kind, no one close from him as player or as coach ..

Only started watching you videos recently, and I love them. You say what are you gonna talk about in each video, than really explain everything and point out the mayor stuff. Great work!

The dinosaurs first appeared on the Athletic

LOVE YOUR CONTENT, BUDDY!

I love your channel Adrian, keep up the good work!

Glad I came across this channel

Coaching or playing in real madrid is hard cause anything except for 1 st place is considered a failure

Great vid ... Keep it up

Amazing content 🔝🔝

love your videos bro

I'd love a video about how to become a manger or a head coach and what it takes

This man should have 1 million subscribers

We all think:how can we cope with out football Adrian:lets see how it is to be at reals helm Love the content!!

There are only two managers who have any pull on Perez... Mourinho and Zidane.

Please man, make more videos or longer videos...i was watching this video, hoping it doesnt end...please

The Premier League was the only football league I watched then. Then Beckham moved to Real Madrid and it piqued my interest to watch him (playing with the other galacticos Brazilian Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo, Raul etc) perform in La Liga. I became an instant fan of La Liga and Real Madrid since even with the up and downs of the club. But with Zidane at the helm it gets even better and I hope we get to enjoy the ride for as long as we can as nothing last forever be it success or failure, happiness or sadness! But the joy of watching your favourite club and your idol(s) will always be cherished....

I’d like to make a request :player profiles Adrian from Rabona Tv

It is amazing the amount of lies passed on as "someone says" whatever. Just to name one, "Some say Florentino Perez has an iron grip on the media". This is blatantly false as long as you read the newspapers. Madrid (city) has two sports newspapers, Marca and AS. For years, AS has been on a campaign against Perez and, as retaliation, Real Madrid players do not give any interview to that newspaper. At the end of last season, Perez called out the director of Marca for lying on Bale's salary. Although Marca has a better relation with Real, for sure is critical and not submissive at all.

I wonder if Raul will ever be given a shot at the first team post Zidane. I feel like if Perez keeps this strategy up the line of succession would be: Zidane -> Raul/Guti -> Sergio Ramos (post 2025)

covid 19 first appeared on the Athletic.

Not only did Fergie know what to say and when to say it, he knew who to say it to

Pls make more Madrid videos

Zidane is not often not credited for his incredible achievements by playing man-management card as his only prowess because the fact that's not enough to get team winning trophies, Zidane was a tactician on the pitch when he was playing he was managing the whole team and he made everyone looks better amd now he's doing that as a manager. When Real 4-3-3 struggled because because the BBC werent performing as usual he omitted the wingers played isoc upfront the 3 midfielders to got Ronaldo and Benz as a 9 and falso 9 to transform the tactics mid season to 4-3-1-2 real won the the CL that season even they weren't playing so great and gave isco a life. I think only great tactician can do that and there are many other examples of Zidane tactics influence of the team like the 4-4-2 of this year that brought stability in defence and midfield

Can you do more videos in the “Roots of rivalry” series?

First to say that I am second to not say that I am first. Also Adrian you should make a video of you playing football.

He's won laliga again for us #halamadrid🤩🤩🤩

At 4:00 I have to disagree. Zidane genius comes from playing simple football soo smartly and having a clear vision. Zidane as a player was like this, he wasn’t the most skilled, fastest nor the most clinical finisher but his mastery of simple football made him the genius he was on the pitch

Keep scrolling

Adrian, Florentino did not sign Cristiano, the previous president Calderon had him already tied down, thats why some believe that he always resented CR7 in a way, because the arguably best player to feature for Madrid had been bought by another president.

Mes que un club 🤩

Zidane is a legend he understands what takes be successful and he had Ronaldo and team full guys able of that was key for is success let see what is gonna doind because of the aging of team he gonna need new players with mentality of winning because is real Madrid mentality

He just eased into the plug

Hey man didnt know you were on watch mojo

Subbed

You know who's a good tactician? Like reaaaaally good? Endless tweaks and touches of genius inside the match? Valverde. There I said it. I hope he goes to Italy where they appreciate that side of the game more.

Zidane and Gattuso are going to be the next greats. They are both World Cup winners, Champion's League, Domestic cup, Zidane did play in both Italy and Spain and Gattuso is not as famous as far as goal scoring and playmaking but Gattuso has just started so to speak but what he did at Napoli after the Ancelotti incident should not be overlooked...man I miss the football...

To me, Zidane looks like Agent 47 from the Hitman series, especially when wears that iconic suit. Is this just me?

10:37 lol.

Make a video about why teams like Atletico which plays pragmatic football is very hard to beat.

None of those managers (Pep,Klopp,Simeone) would have been as successful as Zizou at Real Madrid its the biggest club in the world. Real cares about winning only and he has delivered continuously.

Like the Article stated "Real Madrid are a class in their own" because in the eyes of the Club, the institution, the president, the players and the fans Real madrid is the biggest club in world football (no insult to any other team) even if they had a bad season that's will always be the narrative ND they get their Power from that and from the fact they dominated football in Spain and Europe since the 50's and that's also the reason why it's every footballer player or manager to play or manage real. and believe me if Messi wasn't there for barca those 15 years Real would have dominated on bigger scale maybe talking 7 or 8 CLs that give reason why clubs in Europe want real to fail badly opposite to barca,

Can't be worse than managing kids in lockdown these days!!!

Parez and zidane has a father son like relationship.

ZIDANE GUARDIOLA KLOPP SIMEONE SARRI TUCHEL

At Madrid, you don’t need tactical genius because you probably already have one of the best squads if not the best squad in the world. You just need one thing - bond these players together and perform consistently. Zizou is extremely good at it - making players buy into his ideas and perform on the pitch. Being one of the top 10 best players in football history definitely helps that too. Being a Madridista for almost 25 years, I have seen too many coaches and players come and go. And to be fair, Mourinho did a decent job revamping the squad and especially the spirit of the squad - he arrived with one thing in mind - to beat Barca and he succeeded. And he brought Madrid back to Champions League dominance (Real was famously not able to advance past quarter final stage of the CL for years). I feel bad for Rafa - he is a Madridista through and through - played in the youth teams and started his coaching at Real youth teams too. He cried in the press conference when he was announced as the new manager. Unfortunately CR7 didn’t like him - especially since the old United vs Liverpool days. He could not get the band together to play.

cruyff, beckenbauer & zidane are true winners of football, they bossed football as a player & a coach absolute legends

I started getting into Soccer late in life because I worked a very odd schedule and the only thing on TV for my off days was Soccer. I decided that I need to pick a league (England) and find a team to follow through thick and thin (Tottenham) This was 2013, and I was pretty enamored of Gareth Bale and his play. We all know what happened, he landed at Real Madrid. But in the run up to that, I remember watching something about the attitude the Madrid fans had: That the best players HAVE TO play at Madrid, like it was an obligation. The sense that all other teams are inferior, that it was inconceivable for Madrid to lose out on getting whomever they wanted. And if you said a bad word about the club or any of their players, they would just go after you. I just hate the attitude. It's like an Alabama fan on roids or something.

are there more insider accounts of Madrid's dressing room under Zidane? Lowkey it's still unbelievable to me how he's managed to keep it seemingly peaceful from the outside. I remember Lopetegui or Solari couldn't keep it for long

Del Bosque wasn't sacked IIRC, he couldn't stand for the club to sell key players (Hierro and Makalele) and buying additional attacking players like Beckham as a marketing decision, and introducing the Zidanes & Pavones program that rendered the team's defense and later midfields useless.

Good to see you're okay Adrian😂 Hadn't seen yr notifications in a while

I sugest you get a more variety of sources. And also stick to the facts and let the tales to other channels...

34th La Liga title

Here after real won the la liga. Hala Madrid!!

When Madrid sacked Carlo for Rafa I was shocked and disgusted.. I was vindicated when Rafa bombed out... But we were super lucky that then it gave the opportunity for Zidane so I guess it all worked out.

Zidane is fucking legendary. He can sit, top, at any fucking Mangerial Round table. We need to give him his due. People have tried and failed woefully, yet this man won 3 in a row. Man management, composure, silence, respect, joy to watch, believe, he brings calm. That's fucking...... Arrrrrgh. PS: Madrid players without a manager would fail. Stop pretending. Think of the fact that players like Bale, James, Isco, etc are on the bench. Without a coach, they'll play, and fail.

Benzema is a good president he is doing well with Real Madrid

I want to see him manage Arsenal current team

A point to note, perez didn't sign cristiano ronaldo. Ramon Calderon did.

WHY DID U LEAVE WATCHMojo?????

Please do Belarus league Paco.

Sign gravneberch!

Advertisement in ending sucks.

Where's Paco

Well, maybe win is an obligation for him.., we just try to change the negative dinamic of the team and people enjoying again.., if the team wins, even better!!!

Don Florentino Perez is the man.

Zidane can manage Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG and Juventus. That's only where his skill sets as a manager seems to fit. He can not manage a club where he needs to collide with Board to build a team much stronger than the direct opponents. Neither, will he heir a quality team elsewhere, bar current Liverpool and Manchester City. However in premier league, the competition is much more intense.

hey hi... next time don't joke about Zizou! ;)

Zidane about to be knocked out of CL for the first time : Coronavirus hits Europe Coincidence? I think not.

Am I the only one who loves and hates Perez at the same time?

Hala Madrid

Hopefully this happened with Lampard and Abramovich

Perez didn't sign C Ronaldo

He’s done a lot of good this season, but he’s getting sacked if madrid don’t win a trophy. They’re running out of elite managers to hire so they’re resorting to managers from their youth teams, raul is up next.

Let him go to other team and let's see how good he is, the Spanish FA and the refries are doing nothing but winning matches for Zidan and R Madrid, saying the team and Zidan is while not.

Great Video, if he plays Mendy most matches and benches Benzema he'll do very well next season

Perez is one of the best presidents ever. Ask Barcelona.

Zidane is the best for madrid 😎🔥

Only ex star player understand star player

In my eyes to be a great manager you need to be able to build a squad. What Zidane has done is brilliant but for me the real test comes when some of the best players grow old and it's time for replacements. His signings so far have been terrible and definitely a weak point of his

real madrid is team of player not mangers

the reason he's success because he never meet barca's pep

He wins but the games aren't that entertaining under him.😓

First

I just hope Florentino perez resigned or sacked one day from Real Madrid

At 7:55 no he was brought in to ruin özil's career as the player with the most assist.

It helps a lot when you have the referee on your side

Bald supremacy

CR7 BUILD THE FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS FOR REAL MADRID NOT ZIDANE
