DBasia.news – Real Madrid’s main midfielder, Toni Kroos, said that the condition of the team that was less than ideal was the reason for the sacking of Julen Lopetegui. He also said that Julen Lopetegui was a great coach who was less fortunate at Real Madrid.
In the summer, Julen Lopetegui had to be willing to lose his position in the Spanish national team after receiving an offer from Real Madrid. However, he only lasted four months and Santiago Solari replaced his position.
” At the start of the season, our conditions were indeed not ideal. At the start of the season, we had difficulties to appear consistent because there were enough players who just returned after competing in the World Cup, “said Toni Kroos.
” I think Julen Lopetegui was fired because the conditions were not ideal. “He is a great coach who failed to get maximum results in a bad moment for Real Madrid, ” Toni Kroos added.
The heavy defeat of Barcelona in October was the end of Julen Lopetegui’s career at the Santiago Bernabeu. Under the tutelage of Santiago Solari, Los Blancos managed to perform better and are now ranked 3rd in the LaLiga standings.
“Since the defeat of Barcelona, we have done a lot of improvements and developments. We will now make every effort to win the LaLiga title. I think, Santiago Solari is a coach that is suitable for us at this time,” concluded Toni Kroos.
