Real coach Queiroz blasted for squad rotation First Published: Nov 24, 2003 Carlos Queiroz's tinkering at Real Madrid has been branded as barmy by the Spanish press after he left Brazil World Cup star Ronaldo on the bench for a hard-fought 2-1 win over struggling Albacete. "The problem is when someone starts believing he has been chosen on merit rather than the fact he looks good in a suit," the AS sports daily blasted. David Beckham, with a stunning long-range strike, and Zinedine Zidane saved Queiroz who put Ronaldo on the bench to save him for Wednesday's Champions League clash at Marseille. "I think Queiroz should start to rotate himself," said radio Cadena Ser which pointed out that the Marseille match would have no bearing on Real's Champions League progress. "He doesn't have the shoulders for Real. They're too big for him," added AS. But the Real players came to the backing of their coach. "He was the one who coached Manchester United while (Alex) Ferguson stayed in his office," said Brazil World Cup defender Roberto Carlos. "You can only judge Queiroz at the end of the season," added club captain Raul.
