Shameful display by Real Madrid in front of 80000 fans

Shame!! Disgraceful!! Shocking!!

Is this the result of Ancelotti being brought to the Bernabeu?

Is this the result of Zidane's influence on the team as the Assistant Coach?

Is the result of buying super stars?

I don't mind Real Madrid being beaten by a good and better team. But for Heaven's Sake - do not go down in this pathetic manner. It was the worst display of ineptitude I have seen from Real Madrid. And I can only blame Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Perez.

One does not have to be "professional" football coach to tell you, and tell you correctly, that Real Madrid today is carrying Benzema , Arbeloa and Khedira. Without these three millstones around the Team's neck, I am sure Real Madrid will be a better team.

Forget analyzing the game.

We should discuss what is fundamentally wrong about the Team.

1. How many scoring chances were created in the first half?

2. How many passes were incomplete?

3. How many shots were taken at Atletic's goal?

4. How many times did Arbeloa pass the ball BACK to Pepe or Khedira?

5. How many times did Arbeloa cross the ball to his forwards?

6. How many times did Ronaldo enter Atletic's area?

The problems go on and on.

It was terrifying to see Atletico get the ball and run at the heart of the Madrid defence. The defence was like a house of cards - frail, weak and vulnerable. Everytime an attack was on, we felt the panic and terror in the defence.

Madrid's midfield was non existant today. Di Maria was awful. I was sorely missing Ozil weren't you Mr. Acelotti?

The only saving Grace was Diego Lopez. He was Madrid's savior yet again.

I really don't know where Madrid goes from here.

The Management needs to go back to the drawing board and start from the basics.

My simple advice is. You DO NOT need 11 men on the field. You need 11 professional, confident, skillful footballers who play in specialized positions and play as a team. 

 

 

Real Madrid flexing its muscles. Or are they in the transfer market?

Sr. Perez you know much more about the game than I do but remember that I have been following Real Madrid since 1963 and the same issues that have hindered Los Blancos continue today.
Sr Perez for God's sake sign a future footballing star. I am tired of seeing Madrid getting the cast offs from Barcelona.
If Butragueno or Zidane can't identify a footballing star they have no right being in the decision making body.
We should be looking for talent not for Barcelona cast offs.
And if it takes a year or two or more, we the fans of Madrid will stick by you. But put in an effort. Your decisions have not worked so far and it is about time that you, Sr. Perez, listen to what we - the grassroot supporters, have to say.
