In the 2018/19 season, in order to improve the team's offensive strength, Zidane introduced two attacking players from Chelsea and Eintracht Frankfurt, Hazard and Luka Jovic, both of whom showed their ability to score goals before joining Real Madrid, but surprisingly the two fell sharply in the "Galaxy Fleet" level. Luka Jovic, who joined for 60 million euros, has been with Real Madrid for more than two seasons, but has only scored three goals for Real Madrid so far, and even failed to make a contribution to his usual foot, what is the reason for Luka Jovic's experience and sluggish performance in Real Madrid?
Luka Jovic played for The Team as a substitute for Benzema in the first season of joining Real Madrid, although he failed to become a starter, but he was given many opportunities to play, and was also assigned to "double arrow" with Benzema, and in the tenth appearance, against Leganes, the first goal in real Madrid was scored with a header in stoppage time, helping the team to win the opponent by five goals. However, due to the performance is far less than in the Bundesliga, the playing time gradually decreases sharply, and he tries to "sit on his feet" in consecutive games. During the Spanish Super Cup, due to Benzema's injury, Luka Jovic got the opportunity to start and win his first title at Real Madrid, but unfortunately Luka Jovic performed mediocre in two games and could only hand over an assist, with Benzema's return, Luka Jovic was once again reduced to a substitute, plus Luka Jovic was plagued by injuries and infections, except for the 4-1 win over Osasuna, the left foot shot in the stoppage time was added, and there was no other goal in the season. It can be seen that even though the team won La Liga, Luka Jovic's contribution was quite limited.
In the 2020/21 season, Luka Jovic's performance at Real Madrid was even more sluggish, and the starter at the beginning of the season not only did not score goals, but the team's record was also quite weak, so Zidane did not appoint the Serbian top scorer from early November, so the scorer borrowed back to the old team Frankfurt in the winter, and in the second half of the season, he could only score four goals and one assist. Therefore, At that time, Luka Jovic was quite "chicken ribs" for Real Madrid, and the performance was not worth returning, but compared with the goalscorers such as Mariano and Mayoral in the squad, he had more strength and potential to succeed the "king of the ball", and in the case that Real Madrid's financial resources had not yet recovered to the pre-epidemic situation and there was no suitable buyer, Luka Jovic was able to return to the Bernabeu.
This season, Real Madrid moved to Ancelotti as manager, and Luka Jovic continued his substitute career, failing to even benefit from having five substitutions. Although Luka Jovic seized Karim Benzema's injury this season, delivering a goal and an assist against Real Sociedad to help the team beat the third-place rival at the time 2-0, and showing excellent ball protection ability in the limited upper limit of playing time, it was unfortunate that it was impossible to continue. In real Madrid's 2-2 draw with Elche, Benzema was injured early in the second half, and Luka Jovic was even more behind when he entered the bench, but Luka Jovic did nothing after coming on the bench, relying on a group of midfield players to score goals for the team to equalize, after the game Ancelotti indirectly criticized Luka Jovic's ability to grab points in the box. So During Benzema's rehabilitation, Ancelotti preferred to make cameo appearances as Isco, Asensio and Bale.
In the battle of Villarreal, luka Jovic, who was already distrusted, missed the opportunity to kill his opponent in stoppage time, and finally exchanged blanks in the match, making Luka Jovic into the "cold palace", coupled with Mariano's return, Luka Jovic has not had a chance to play in seven consecutive games, and I believe that his career at Real Madrid has entered the countdown stage.
Luka Jovic's frustration at Real Madrid has unfortunately been to compete for the starting position with Benzema, the top scorer of Real Madrid in the "post-C Ronaldo" era, who is in good form and has a well-rounded playing style, and the overall level of Real Madrid has declined, so that Luka Jovic has limited supply. But even though there are not many opportunities, luka Jovic's failure to effectively grasp the same is also an indisputable fact, there is little running on the field, low participation, and the scope of activities is limited to the middle, so Mariano's footwork is more extensive, but his hard-working playing order, whether it is Zidane or Ancelotti era, will rank Ancelotti in the order of appearances before Luka Jovic, coupled with Luka Jovic's off-court discipline problems, I believe that this summer will be luca Jovic's end at the Bernabeu, Arsenal are reportedly quite interested in the goalscorer, and Real Madrid do not mind cashing out to pursue Mbappe and Haaland.
