No Retreat, No Surrender - El Espartano Alvaro Arbeloa Manager Thread

Lol

 

Gg

 

Or a defense.

 

The problem, as expressed by others here are multi faceted. Hence why the pessimism on a simple coaching change.

 

The good thing is that now we can start fresh with less pressure.
The sword hanging over Xabi's head for a few months now was exhausting. It's over. Let's move on.

 

The less pressure part would only last 3-5 games unfortunately. The pressure is never off if trophies are still within reach.

 

I meant the internal pressure of in-fighting, undermining the coach...Perez tired of Xabi etc...

You're right when it comes to result. That pressure never goes away at Madrid...and that's a good thing.

 

I'm praying he brings up Cestero and Pitarch ....what is there to lose? So tired of Camavinga with deep lying creator duties.... our midfield needs a shock.

 

So more pressing? Welp

 

Is he another tactical genius type?

because we know tactical geniuses don’t actually work in real football for big clubs

 

I highly doubt communicating to run more with a "pretty please" would change anything. The team was too used to the Ancelotti low intensity, power of friendship way of doing things. They weren't gonna bust their @$$ for anyone on a game to game basis.

We can't really say Xabi's tactics were a failure for certain since the results were there before the "incident". I say it is a man management failure more than a coaching failure.

 

Ahh so we blame Carlo even after he’s gone lol

 

Hey, if you wanna be a snowflake about it, by all means, be my guest.

It is what it is.

 

He realized his method of doing things wasn't working, he tried to pivot, but then it was too late. A classic rookie mistake imo.

 

Or we stop being blind haters and not blame the coach who did succeed for the failures of the one who replaced him

 

I wasnt blaming Carlo, but it was merely a descriptor of why it happened. You just felt I did because you felt a certain way about C.A.
