Lopetegui led Real: Perez's cruel move
Last night, three days before the start of the Spanish campaign to conquer the second world championship in history, with the encounter with neighboring Portuguese team, Real Madrid announced the signing of contract 3 year with national team coach Julen Lopetegui.

This information is like Florentino Perez, president of Real Madrid throwing the crisis bomb from Los Blancos to La Furia Roja. Perez is so. At the most difficult moment, suffering the most, he managed to calmly handle the incident, counter-attacking silently, and bringing surprises to others, such as Vito Corleone's Godfather.

Lopetegui is a cost-effective, Laeco-based development that Perez is trying to build. It sounds weird, because Perez is always associated with the Galacticos strategy, but realistically in recent years, Real has changed his mindset to build a home for himself.

Specifically, Real's transfer plans are no longer just around the top stars. They are more focused on developing mature players from La Fabrica and investing in young talent. Vinicius Junior, Jesus Vallejo, Nacho Fernandez, Theo Hernandez, Borja Mayoral ... are preschoolers or fruit from this strategy.

In addition, Zinedine Zidane before achieving great success with Real Madrid is Real Castilla coach. Returning to Lopetegui, this name is no stranger to the madridista not because he is leading Spain, but because he used to play Real (1988-1991) and also led Real Castilla (2008- 2009). That means Lopetegui has a certain understanding of the Spanish team.

On the other side, the biggest worry Real had to face after the departure of coach Zidane is the peace in the dressing room. Lopetegui can solve this problem. Because in the current Real squad has six players his pupils in the Spanish team. Includes Carvajal, Nacho, Ramos, Isco, Asensio and Vazquez.

The presence of these six faces in La Roja's World Cup squad also means Lopetegui is a real player in Real. In the structure of the Spanish team, Real is the club that contributed the most players, more than the Barca rivals, the club has covered the ball over La Roja for many years.

Taking on the professional side, Lopetegui is the right choice for Perez president La Faber's development. He is a model for young people. Not only has he led Real Castilla, the biggest highlight of his 51-year-old strategist's career until now is mainly linked to the Spanish youth squad (U19 European Championship 2012). U21 European Championship 2013).

The most significant club Lopetegui ever led was Porto. Although not won the title but the ruler has met the expectations of re-shaping the team in the transfer process. The moment Lopetegui led Porto (2014-2016), this team has lost two pillars James Rodriguez and Jackson Martinez.

Immediately, Lopetegui released Ruben Neves and brought this midfielder to Portugal at the age of 17. In addition, he revived Oliver Torres and Casemiro, who is now the steel shield in the Real midfield.

Finally, talking about tactical imprints, Lopetegui is the favorite ruler of the fast counter-attack. Of course, at Spain, when the possession of so many talented midfielder, he has the condition of using the ball to control the ball. But clearly under Lopetegui, La Roja played more ball and face than the predecessor.

However, the development of the attack by the team led by Lopetegui not in favor of the border to take advantage of the vast space and the players rich speed. Instead, he used to play in the middle of the ball, concentrating on creative midfielders such as Isco (Spain) and Oliver Torres (Porto).

In short, Lopetegui is one of the most affordable options for Real at the moment. Only surprise at the time and circumstances announced.
