The idea to build the team around Bale is ridiculous, if that is Benitez plan to win trophies then this will be a very long season.
Results of Bale as CAM: Poor strings of performances from Bale and the team, Benitez gets sacked, Isco/or James dissatisfied, Perez forced into resignation. Solution: sell Bale when he has value, in other words sell Bale now.
James played LW/RW for Monaco and Porto. James is more versatile. Bale should be LW (natuaral position) or behind the striker like he plays for Wales.
Benitez is accommodating both Bale and Ronaldo this is why both Isco and James are forced to play out wide.
Bale roamed wherever he liked in his best season at Spurs, maybe Rafa thinks he can recreate that at Madrid, forget the talent level of the players around him at this club( we are not Spurs, no disrespect intended) and just set the team up for Bale so we can get the best out of him apparently , as I said before would be interesting to watch. especially Ronaldo. very interesting rumor.
He played there at Tottenham and Wales. He's familiar with the position. Now, if we should do it is another discussion altogether. James and Isco are more natural solutions there. We'll see.
And they can play, technical, can take care of the ball, and have tons of skill and vision, but unfortunately not in the the superman league like Gareth, who is spectacular, apparently, sometimes........... Anyhow still just a rumor, let's see what happens.
Rafa-Bale or Flo-Ronaldo, who will win? Florentino Perez has transmitted to Cristiano Ronaldo the Club's trust in him: "You're the leader" [@JLSanchez78]— Real Madrid Info ³⁵ (@RMadridInfo) July 20, 2015 623208819976445952 is not a valid tweet id 623209527022911488 is not a valid tweet id 623211240475754496 is not a valid tweet id
The truth is on the pitch. I don't care what twitter sites say, important is the shape will be playing with towards the end of the calendar year.
I seriously think we f'ed up by bringing Benitez. It's not the right time to freak out, and this sample size is too small to judge him by. But I'm hoping...praying he proves me wrong. The guy is too pragmatic and uninspiring to be a Real Madrid coach.
We can give Bale the title "leader" and even throw in a crown made of our melted UCL trophies, but Ronaldo will still outplay him, and it's not even gonna be close.
Bale shouldn't even have a team built around him... He is practically a crippled with limit usage. Why is he even being played as a CAM? He has no technical ability to be played there. I cba with trying to understand Rafa anymore. If Bale is going to be our future and our main man then I don't see us progressing any time soon.
It's going to be funny watching the turn around of support when Bale plays well this year. The stupid posters will say he has gained his form. The posters who aren't idiots will know it was all about the system/style of play and how it affects his usefulness from the beginning. Regarding his finishing? Yeah he definitely needs to improve that.
It's one thing to say he had a shit season, it's another when people talk about him as if he was Drenthe.
