I was excited when it was first announced that he was coming, but I always knew there was going to be a lot of conflict. System versus individual brilliance and creativity. For how system-based soccer has become, real, has had their most success bucking the trend and relying on relatively basic tactics and a lot of individual brilliance.

I think the issue is that fundamentally management understands that rigid systems are going to annoy top talent and they are based on talent first and foremost. The Vini situation got real bad this year

Arne Slot hearing steps in the darkness and looking over his shoulder.

Everyone saw this dumpster fire of a locker room not panning out.

Surprised he made so poor of a decision to go there.

Ancelotti. Arguably one of the best premadona whisperers out there. Could not get that locker room to function.

For one year after they won the CL and added a superstar who does the same thing their other superstar (who could have just won the Ballon D'Or) does. Carlo had been there a while and it was old, by that point.

Not really sure where they go from here. The defense and midfield isn't good enough, can't out attack everyone.

The Lunacy at Real Madrid knows no limits. This may be the Dumbest Thing that I have seen that bunch do. Very Disappointing!
