I was a 10 when Maclaren was in charge, his football was rigid and he failed at motivating his players.
Benitez on the other hand plays a type of football drowned in drills and systems.
I have been watching Real Madrid this season under him, tbh his style doesn't suit a team full of talented and skillful players. It doesn't allow them to express themselves enough. Believe it or not , there was just too much team work.
However for dumb players like Talyor or less intellectual players which have no clue how to play football, he might be sort of manager we need right now.
His methods and passing routines are very team orientated.
Below are two videos of him training the players at Real Madrid and the other a compilation of goals under the reign of Rafa.
(someone please embedded the videos as i have no clue how to)
Team Training
This is visual proof that Rafa methods work. As the 1st video shows his routines he puts the players through and the 2nd shows the actual style being applied in real effect.
I have every confidence after the confirmation that Rafa and he will probably keep us in the League.
Down to a 2 now.
Just hope he doesnt walk when Ashley shows his true nature.
