Dani Ceballos puts pressure on Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane
Los Blancos continue to misfire and one of the great mysteries is why Ceballos has not been given more chances to prove himself.
There is one thing in particular that the Real Madrid supporters are finding difficult to understand this season: why Zinedine Zidane has been so reluctant to give minutes to a player of the quality of Dani Ceballos.
Ceballos impresses with every opportunity
Every time the Andalucían is given an opportunity, he gives what we would expect from a player who is hungry to succeed: attitude, effort, and quality.
We all know that Zidane's first-choice midfielders are untouchable, but even when they can't get anything right, Ceballos hasn't been given the chance that his football deserves.
Zidane must give him a fair crack of the whip
The bench and the stand have been the natural habitats for a young talent who, every time his pulls on the Real Madrid shirts, shows that it isn't too big for him.
An air of gloom surrounds some of his team-mates, but not Ceballos. He concentrates all of his energy on vindicating himself. It's time for the coach to be fairer with Ceballos than he has been so far.
