Breaking news: Benfica full back Fabio Coentrao agrees to a deal with Real Madrid
Reports are out in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Coentrao is going to be joining the Spanish Giants Real Madrid in the January transfer window. The new Los Blancos coach is trying to add depth to the squad by adding an extra defender at the back.
The move looks to be obvious as the Brazilian left back Marcelo simply could not get the job done for the Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho. If Fabio Coentrao joins Real Madrid, the Los Blancos are going to be playing three Portuguese defenders in the team.
Jose Mourinho’s weak spot is the left back position and with a bank as big http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AS-Real-c38478 Madrid, the Portuguese tactician is definitely not going to take long to end Real Madrid’s misery. Barcelona are the biggest opponents to the Los Blancos and they easily defeated
them 5-0 in the Nou Camp. However, throughout the game it was Marcelo who outplayed on the left flank, as Pedro Rodriguez and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 played their part of the La Blaugrana.
With Jose Mourinho in charge, no slips can be expected from the team. The coach who is recently nominated as the World’s best coach by the FIFA, is now going to try to add strength to his squad after buying Fabio Coentrao. There is definitely no better left
back in the market at the moment and Coentrao had an outstanding World Cup campaign in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757 as well.
Real Madrid currently have only two options on the left – the first one is the Brazilian full back Marcelo while the other is the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Arbeloa-c5282. However, Arbeloa is a right footed player and he cannot perform on the left flank,
leaving Mourinho with only one option, Marcelo. Marcelo is a great attacking full back but whenever it comes to defending, he simply falls weak and cannot track back to help the team at the back. His crosses and goal scoring abilities might be extraordinary,
but what the team really needs is a good full back who can meet up to the expectations just like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096, who is currently performing his duties on the right.
Currently, the news is out that the deal between the club and the player has been agreed and only the transfer fees are left to be decided upon. Fabio Coentrao is currently having a fabulous season in the Portuguese league and his addition to the Real Madrid
squad is definitely going to help them win a lot of games. Mourinho is having problems in the defence especially with the Brazilian full back Marcelo. There were speculations that Real Madrid might sign the Tottenham Hotspur sensational left footed star Gareth
Bayle but Mourinho has ended that rumour by putting interest in another Portuguese defender.
The question left is whether Real Madrid can afford another player especially after signing players like Mesut Ozil, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sami-Khedira-c32325 and Angel Di Maria this season. However, the addition is definitely going to add a positive vibe to Los Blancos.
