With Saturday's loss against Levante, there is no doubt: Real Madrid is in a crisis, and very early the dream of restoring the Spanish league title seems too far away.
3 losses, two draws, a fifth place with 14 points from 27 available, figures embodying the tragedy, and 482 minutes without goals in a sad precedent confirmed.
Left the former artistic director Zinedine Zidane of his own, and left the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, voluntarily or forcibly, so he went European champion for 3 consecutive years flops, Pat Julen to coach Obtigai newcomer weeks ago, blown by the winds are very strong dimensions.
A shocking truth, however, the Real Madrid team tried to maneuver or talk about loyalty to the coach and insist on supporting it until the end.
On Saturday evening, after falling in front of Levante speaking team icon Marcello, stressing that he and the rest of the players with Lopetge "to death."
Marcelo, who scored the only goal of Real Madrid match Levante to end the "royal" fast scoring, he said that the coach "honest with us and it brings us a wonderful relationship," the newspaper quoted the conservative state as "Marca" Spanish.
He then added: "I know very well the meaning of wearing the colors of this club and I feel sad when not win. Obtigai not like to Rafael Benitez (Real Madrid coach, who was sacked in the middle of the 2015-2016 season by the club because of poor results and problems with the masses."
With Marcelo, the leader Sergio Ramos also spoke in the same tone: "Individual mistakes condemn us all, but we should not blame anyone, and the only way to change that is to be one hand."
"Loptegui is a very motivating, persuasive person."
"If I ask for my opinion, I will say it, but I do not think my opinion could affect an important decision like the continuation of the coach," he said.
Words may mean a lot. Despite the support of the players, the dismissal seems to be strong, even without the players' opinion, while the Clasico result against Barcelona next Sunday remains the decisive factor.
The question that automatically imposes itself is: If Leptighe leaves, who will come? There are numerous attempts to answer him, despite rumors of the possibility of using Frenchman Laurent Blanc, but the assurances of European newspapers refer to two names in particular.
The two names referred to in the Sun newspaper are Arsene Wenger, the historic leader of Arsenal, and Antonio Conte, who left Chelsea last summer.
Coaches vary their experiences and Iammarhma, and even Njahathma in the recent period, but Conte, it remains the most logical choice given the small age (49 years), and the experiences of successful professional managers of Italian with Real Madrid, and the last of Carlo Ancelotti.
