3 reasons why Real Madrid should sign Christian Eriksen and not Paul Pogba

#2 His calmer personality fits in with the new look Real Madrid

Christian Eriksen maintains a low profile off the pitch.

In the not too distant past, Real Madrid earned the reputation of having the dressing room with the most power influence, with the superstar players at the club meaning that there were lots of power plays and displays of egos.

This undoubtedly had an impact on the club’s on-field performance, with the club underperforming despite the presence of marquee world class players.

This group of players were known as the ‘galacticos’ and current manager Zinedine Zidane was a bonafide member of the playing squad, having represented the club for five years between 2001 and 2006.

The three-time FIFA World Player of the Year saw firsthand what such assemblage of multiple egos could do to a team and perhaps that is why he has not towed that path as a manager.

All the signings sanctioned by Zidane since taking the managerial reins at Real Madrid have all been low-key players of undoubted ability devoid of the razz-mattaz associated with the more famous and celebrity-like players.

Paul Pogba fits in more with the ‘galactico’ stereotype which Zidane has been keen to deviate from throughout his tenure.

The former Juventus man is extremely popular on social media, having almost a cult-like followership and is concordantly one of the most marketable players in the world and as such, it comes as no surprise that he has an inflated ego which is common with most celebrities.

On the other hand, Christian Eriksen is an easy going unassuming player who does most of his talking on the field, with not much being known about his life off the field. This undoubtedly fits in more to the player profile favored by Zinedine Zidane compared to Paul Pogba.
