Real Madrid need to get ready for a terrible season | It’s happening

Hope that Real Madrid decide it is worth a punt on Mourinho at the end of the season and hope there is some truth in Perez wanting him back

Who cares about the end of the season. Perez needs to get onto the phone to him now. You know you want him back Real fans.

Regardless of what anyone says and how many CL he won the BEST Madrid team in the past 10 Years was Mourinho's Madrid. Period. They were unlucky to be playing against the greatest club side potentially ever in their peak. Not to discredit Zidane and Ancelotti but they limped their way to those CL wins and don't get me wrong winning is winning but still. Personally I don't think Zidane is even a top 5 coach in the world right now despite his resume making a case for it. In 2012 that was the best Madrid have played in a VERY long time they were electric on the counter and broke records and didn't win the CL because the stars aligned that way.

With that being said Mourinho is not the same coach he was then. He needs to get the monkey off his back and get that swagger back. He is one of the greatest of all time nonetheless.



Carlo and Zidanes Madrid would get played off the park by Mourinhos Madrid side. Not even a question imo.

Seeing as Jose has never been able to get another team to attack like that Madrid team - im putting most of the credit on the players.

With Pep at least you can see, every team he goes to plays the exact same way.
 
most of the press says that Madrid are not interested in Mourinho.
ABC says flatly that no and el confidencial imagine the conditions required , however Diego Torres says there have been contacts before and after the Solari contract.
The first offer was rejected as Mourinho could not break the contract and had to solve personal problems, but apparently they have made a second offer, with freedom to plan the squad (I need an emoji of weeping crying).

Real Madrid starting XI next season:nervous:

Courtois
Carvajal Varane Nacho Theo
Casemiro Matic
Vazquez Willian Bale
Lukaku

Anyone knows any 29 years old LBs that could be signed?

Read the article, it's the usual Diego Torres nonsense fortunately :nono:
 
Well, on the bright side, Mourinho won't likely fail so badly at Madrid. The old guard like Ramos and Marcelo will have lesser power as the squad will be refreshed. Plus, in terms of opposition, only Simeone represents a major challenge for Jose, unlike the premier league with at least 2-3 manager's who are tactically smarter than him. Valverde isn't anything special.

He will finish in the top 2, guarantee a Copa del Rey and probably do well in the CL if they bring in the right players.

Short memory.

Got tactically outsmarted by Valencia manager a week ago and they struggling. Not forgetting what happened against Sevilla last season. He’d struggle again if he doesn’t change.

Come on mate, it’ll be Perisic on the RW, Vazquez isn’t of the required quality for Mourinho :lol:

The smaller clubs have been outsmarting the big boys with regularity this season in La Liga. Part of the reason why the point gap in the top half of the table is only 13 points, whereas in England it’s 21 points.

Mourinho has also been tactically outmatched in both matches against Valencia (We very much deserved to lose the first leg) so I would say him in his current iteration would struggle just as much if not more at Madrid. How much of that will be offset by having a higher quality squad? Who knows. Only way to find out is if Perez actually brings him in.
 
If you need to rebuild a squad, Jose is not your man.
What happened to Isco?

Well, that was my point. If Real assemble a brute squad like they have had in their recent glory years, then Mourinho's deficiencies will be papered over. Smaller teams may have smart managers, but individual quality will see them (Real) through.

If we had Real's squad in their prime against Valencia, we wouldn't have lost despite Jose's tactics being off.

Jose will struggle with current Real, that's for sure. But unlike United, a large number of world class players would be queuing up to join Real even now, which could work in his favor to build a squad reliant on individual quality.
 
Really can't see Madrid going near Mourinho after his disastrous, bitter tenure at Utd. Makes no sense at all they would want him again. Mendes / Click Bait has to be behind these articles.
 
I wouldn't completely rule out them winning the CL again. You never know what will happen in these knockout games, but that's the only thing which would save their season.
 
This is a bit old but, Brahim: Madrid offer 10, Manchester City want 20. The deal is close. He will be in the first team. No games with Castilla
 
Could be another disaster.

Madrid squad from 2010-13 was stellar.

Without CR Mou won't win another Spanish Liga. Only if Flo signs Mbappé, which could easily clash with Mou's ego and control.

Why? Young Spanish player goes to the biggest club in his country. A club where there’s about to be a big generational shift.

He needs to play regularly. Didn't oesn't mmhow big Real are in Spain. He needs to play.

It was a very good squad but ultimately it was Bale, Modric and Isco joining that made it take a step further and become stellar. Modric didn't have a proper pre-season in Mourinho's last season (which is one of the reasons he was considered as the worst signing of the season and only started to shine at the end of it) and the other two arrived one year later.

Khedira was average and Ozil was brilliant but inconsistent.

And why won’t he play? Lucas Vázquez and Asensio are his competition right now so it’s not exactly mission impossible.

There’s this narrative that has become completely entrenched in the CAF that Madrid is the death of the young player. Varane, Marcelo, Ramos, Casemiro, Carvajal all arrived as teenagers or in their very early twenties and have had very productive careers (that’s an understatement).

While a couple of seasons ago Brahim would have certainly struggled to get playing time, the current Madrid is in the state of flux and chances are there. He just needs to take it.

Was not sure where to post this but, I do not think Ramos wants Mourinho back at Real.

His power will have waned by end of the season as he is getting old. Perez would likely overrule him. Besides, Marcelo already seems to be warming up to the idea, so a few of the old guard could support Jose's appointment.
