Benito's prediction: Real will not get results with the presence of these two midfielders!
Alvaro Benito has an interesting solution to solve Real Madrid's problems.
According to "Sports Three", Benito, a Real Madrid player from 1995 to 2002, who was forced to retire from football in 2003 due to injuries, proposed the solution to Real Madrid's problems in El Larguero's program. "This is a prediction of failure," he told Kadnaser. If no changes are made, the same problems will repeat themselves. Real Madrid's game in Rome was no surprise to anyone. Against opponents who are highly skilled at controlling the ball, they can hardly possess the ball. "If you allow opponents to get close to the goal so easily, one of them is bound to score."
He believes that Mourinho proved himself tactically in Rome and that Real Madrid's problems may be due to the management and division of duties on the pitch: "All professional footballers can run without the ball. Your neighbors do, with whom you have to compete both in Spain and in Europe. "We all know what Real Madrid's problems are, so why don't the players and Mourinho understand it... He could have a better central midfielder, but Real Madrid have a strong squad."
This ex-footballer believes that decisive decisions must be made, but I don't know if this will happen or not. Benito commented, “Sometimes doing the bare minimum is necessary to win against powerful opponents. It was a turning point, it became clear that when they push, fight tooth and nail and try, they get results.
Mourinho's comments were very interesting, he showed why he does these things. He knows he has players who aren't defensive by nature, so he thinks the team will fall apart if he doesn't put Xavierne and Valverde in a two-man midfield. But to control the game, he has to use players like Bernardo or Goler. He does not miss any point in the messages he wants to convey.
"If the attacking players don't do their jobs, you won't get results against good teams with Valverde and Xwameny, and if there are two or three players in the team who don't do their defensive duties... you might get results in 80% of the league games, but in the Champions League, you'll lose hard."
