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

Some legendary club with a legendary president, afraid of agents lol

 

Incorrect. He did sub them off at times.

Arbeloa pales in comparison.

 

No one is arguing whether Jose has power to change the roster tho.

 

Experienced ones like Valverde, Emery? It was too soon for Xabi. So same would apply to Iraiola and Cesc.

 

Maybe Mourinho giving Real Madrid the business with his mediocre team changed a lot of people's minds.

Those young talanted Spanish manager's might be better candidates, but without Flo's trust, it's useless. Case and point, Xabi.

So Mourinho fits the bill, whether we like it or not.

 

There will be a clear out eventually with band aid approach not working.

 

It's too bad instead of young Spanish coaches with potentail, there's not some steady head out there that despite managing smaller club like Sevilla, Valencia, etc., who is kind of respected throughout the leauge by players and coaches but hasn't had a chance at a major club.


Someone like Marcelino, Emery, etc., I'm obivously not a La Liga insider and I know the Pellegrini experiment failed but someone like that might be able to turn around what is still a very young team with players that have room for improvement but need a manager who can both gain/earn their respect/trust and also competently implement a productive system and tactics.


I just felt like guys like Lopetegui, Xabi, Arbeloa, Solari were all way too short on experience despite maybe having the tactical knowledge, eye for talent, etc., and maybe someone who's been around a while would just have a calmer presence - like Luis Aragones when he took over Spain.

Nah, the club had a passing interest and got caught publicly flirting and twerking for him and found themselves a year later in a social media arranged marriage that neither party wanted to back out of because they amount of clicks and likes they were generating.


Only with the benefit of hindsight is the club able to play the "it was just a one night stand" card but in reality Florentino was already shopping for a ring while the vending machines were all still stocked with Carlo's favorite flavor of chewing gum.

 

Considered for what? Zidane went on to 3-peat. Lets not have dishonest discussions here just to look good.

Irrelevant or not, his playstyle actually fits the current midfield a lot.

 

What reaults? He hasn't even coached yet.

 

No Barca rats at Real please

Cant stand them, Cesc, Xavi, Alves,Pique, twats all of them

 

Results in all the team he coached since he left real Madrid speaks for themselves.
It ain't positive or pretty.
How do you see Mourinho fixing the mbappe/vini issue? He can't. So we're going to have more of the same.

 

Guardiola and Arteta beg to differ.

 

Not even Wenger and Ferguson got every player they requested. Pep has Txiki working transfers for him, but he brings players that fit in the unified vision. Look what hes making out of Doku right now

 

We can say the same for Carlo.

 

I agree with AA here. Arsenal could probably win a double this season, and they havent won anything major in decades. PSG has been irrelevant in UCL football for the past 40+ yrs and is now looking unstoppable.

Would any of us trade being a Real Madrid fan in exchange for being a PSG/Arsenal? Hell to the effin' NO. Never in my life.

Real Madrid are having a very bad period right now. Our dressing room is imploding with zero leaders to anchor the team, the coach knows he's gone in the summer, the President just went on an embarrassing tirade in front of the whole world to basically play victim. Nothing is going right for Real Madrid right now. Every Madrid hater is having an absolute dream right now.

But as they say: Form is temporary. Class is eternal.

Real Madrid will bounce back one day. I was here for the good times, I was here for the bad times, and InshAllah, I will be here as a Madridista for whatever comes next.
