Aside from the sadness I feel at times about the light-hearted way new coaches are talked about, for me it doesn't matter who comes, and I always work on the idea that you give an appraisal at the end of the season.

The 'blah blah' football talk will not force me into the debate which I am not thinking about and I will explain it.

At the moment what is really wanted is to bury Lopetegui. I hear everything but the only objective fact is that they are in seventh place, out of the European positions after nine matches. For some it appears serious, others very serious and for those who are most belligerant they say it is unsustainable.

Simply it is an ongoing situation that with everyone involved we make it into something big. A short while ago I read a report saying that Varane was well placed to win the Ballon d'Or this year. Good but after the Levante game...I don't know. You see how everything depends on the moment.

For that reason if we take a look at the facts, which are what coaches and fans (supporters only appreciate wins) value of possession, attacks, post, corners and everything involved in playing, then the statistics are on the side of Madrid.

Goals have not been going in, that is true, but how do you train that? What is worrying for coaching staff aside from winning or not, is if they have the ball, whether they are attacking, creating chances, if players are involved. In this Madrid side these statistics are positive and this is what is rational, emotion is what causes people to want a change, someone needs to be blame especially for where the team are in the table.

For me Barcelona, although they are leaders, they are also not playing that well and I prefer other teams but that is the way it is. Lopetegui, dear readers, why should he be sacked after nine games? Because goals are not be scored by his players, because they are not winning, because they are seventh, for being a bad coach because he has chewing gum, has the wrong colour suit, doesn't wear a flower like Zidane, or because maybe we have flipped a coin.

I feel as though we are in this situation and it doesn't seem right to me. I continue to think he is a good coach.
