In the last four years, the richest soccer club in the world has had a really bad time. He did not win any trophies. And this current season, hopes were really high that the team would win a huge trophy, with the appointment of former Juventus coach Fabio Capello to take over the team. Capello, who had coached the team once in the 1990s, had led Juventus to winning two consecutive Scudetto titles in Italy in 2004 and 2005. With such a high qualification, he was supposed to be eminently qualified for the position and to do so. would do. get the team back on the winning track. While resuming as manager, Capello promised that he would only lose five games in the league (the league) throughout the season.
However, with nearly twenty games in the league, Capello has lost seven games. And he has led the team to some of their worst performances in recent history. Real have lost some vital home games at the Bernabéu against low-rated teams like Recreativo and Levante, which are at the bottom of the league.
In a ten-game streak, the team scored just three goals, a far cry from its high-scoring nature in the past. Even recruiting new players in the January transfer window has not helped at all. The club is now four points behind Barcelona in the league standings.
Having been eliminated from the Copa del Rey by Real Betis, the only hope of winning a trophy this season is in the Champions League or the Spanish League. In the current form, the chances of the team winning in Europe are very slim. As such, the expectation is that the team is more likely to be left empty-handed again this season.
What could have caused the current crisis in the most successful football club in Europe?
For one thing, Capello’s training style has been heavily criticized by players and fans. The new manager’s defensive style has not been popular with fans and has not produced the desired results.
Furthermore, the sudden shift in the club’s player recruitment policy from the era of buying “galactics” or world-famous players to that of buying relatively unknown players appears to have affected the club internally. It is not uncommon to hear about disputes and power plays in the locker room.
In addition, the coach’s apparent dislike for some players has helped polarize the club and curb team spirit. Recent comments from the club president and manager about some of the team’s key players, which were promoted by the media, served to show the extent of the animosity that exists between the club’s rank and file.
