Mole_Toonfan Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Benitez would be a horrible appointment. Keep Carlo for another season or get Klopp. Benitez? He'll not win the league either. They'll have a good chance of the cups because Benitez would rotate and is probably more tactically astute. But they'll lose out in other areas. Ironic considering that's what they are doing now anyway, minus the rotations. This side has been great to most of the time. I can't imagine Benitez picking a midfield of Kroos, James & Modric. Or even Isco, James & Kroos have played together a lot. Benitez would've never come up with that. That's not what you said though, you said they would not win the league but have a good chance in the cups. Which is exactly what is happening.

Competing is mandatory at Madrid, there needs to be some style with it. If Benitez had a better chance of winning trophies than Ancelotti but a worse style - it would be worth a shot. But he doesn't. At the very highest level - I feel like Benitez is yesterday's man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm still unconvinced about all of these rumors, btw. Pérez's big plan and dream is having Zidane manage Real Madrid, best player in the world turned best manager in the world managing the best team in the world - it's the kind of hype narrative he thrives on. He wants him to be a bigger, white, Guardiola. And Zidane will probably leave if he's passed over when the seat becomes available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Is either Tevez, Llorente or Morata going, then? I know the former wants a Boca return and the latter has a buy-back clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Juve got almost all of the Italian CL pot so they're getting more than any other team, I think. This would have been the case even if they lost in the semis or QFs, iirc. Anyway, it's good to see them invest but it's probably a one off unless other Italian teams don't plan on making the knockout rounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
