The way a player gets along with a coach can determine the direction of his career, and Pedro León, who moved to Real Madrid in 2010/11, is a good example.
After playing for Valladolid and Getafe, Leon joined the Galaxy in the 2010/11 season with players from strong teams such as Ozil and Di Maria, but was eventually sidelined by coach Mourinho.
The reason for this is that Leon came off the bench against Levante, but he did not listen to Mourinho's instructions to play. He added after the game: "I'll probably get into the starting line for the next game. "Mourinho was very angry at his actions. Relations began to deteriorate, and Mourinho criticized him by name.
It was later reported that their relationship had been repaired and Leon had played some games, but did not make any splashes. During his time with Real Madrid, he played only 6 La Liga games.
Leon signed a six-year contract with Real Madrid, but returned to Getafe just a year later. Although he was on loan for two years from 2011, he moved permanently to Getafe from the 2013-14 season. In addition, during his time with Eibar, he became a teammate with the Japanese player Takashi Kan, and in Eibar's 5 years, he played 113 games and scored 13 goals, showing a strong presence in the team.
Leon hopes to continue to create some results in Spain, but he has not played well in the big club of Real Madrid. Even those players who have been the main players in La Liga for many years cannot shine in Real Madrid.
Whether you can perform well in the team is also an important part of the relationship with the coach. James Rodriguez, who played for teams such as Real Madrid this summer, also moved to Qatar, and the Colombian star, who was seen as a key figure at Everton last season, did not get a chance under Benitez and had to leave the team hastily.
Although the situations of James and Lyon are different, the relationship between them and the coach is crucial to whether they can retain a place in the team. Leon left Eibar to join Fuenlabrada in La Liga, where he found a regular starting position. Leon, who is already 34 years old, seems to be continuing his career very well.
