4 reasons why Julen Lopetegui is right for Real Madrid

#2 Tactics

Despite the trophies, Zidane was never considered a tactical manager

For everything Zidane won, he was never considered a master tactician, and for good measure. Zidane relies more on his man management - motivating them to be better players - but not the team as a whole on a level of tactics.

This is where Lopetegui shines. His style of play with the Spanish team is nothing short of mesmerizing, and after the uncountable crosses that made even the starkest of Madrid fans sigh deeply, it will be a welcome change at Madrid.

Madrid to be fair have never thrived under a manager with possession based football, and it will be interesting to see how it turns out for them.

If they can however assimilate Lopetegui's switch in style, Barcelona should be careful because they might get bested at their own game.
