Zidane at risk against Barca and 'Gladbach

The defeat against Cadiz and the calamitous first half against Shakhtar Donetsk, against whom they finally lost, have caused a small schism at Real Madrid around the figure of Zinedine Zidane.

Some say that the French coach is playing for his place in the next few matches. 'AS' reported that Zidane has lost part of the respect he had for his record with the team.

This is why the next matches could be decisive for Zidane's immediate future. If he fails to convince against Barcelona and Borussia Mönchengladbach, his time at the club could be over.

Also, on 'Estudio Estadio' they are already giving a name to replace Zidane. The person in charge of taking over the team, if the Frenchman goes, would be Raúl González Blanco, the coach of Castilla.

The 'Clásico' will measure the current level of Real Madrid. After the defeats against Cadiz and Shakhtar, more for image than for results, the club need to convince if they want to continue with Zidane.

Everything will depend on the next two matches. They are difficult rivals for the Santiago Bernabéu club and there are those who, like 'Mundo Deportivo', are already comparing Zidane with Lopetegui, who was dismissed after a heavy defeat in the 'Clásico'.
