Real Madrid – Probably line up for the season 2011/2012 (Part 1)
Real Madrid had an extraordinary 2010/2011 season. With Jose Mourinho becoming their boss for the first time, a definite change was seen. Barcelona did not let them win much but it was an incredible season played by the Los Blancos.
Real Madrid lost the Spanish La Liga and also suffered a loss against Barcelona in the semi final of the UEFA Champions League. The only title they did win was the Copa Del Rey in which they faced http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the final and Real Madrid’s top scorer, Cristiano
Ronaldo found the back of the net with a fabulous header.
Last season what Real Madrid faced was selection crises. The Catalans did not have a natural centre forward as Gonzalo Higuain suffered a back injury. Jose Mourinho tried playing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 in the centre forward position and even opted for the Manchester
City drop out, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Adebayor-c12526. However, they both didn’t work out in a 4-2-3-1 formation played by Jose Mourinho.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 got the best out of the new formation and he adapted really well with the new coach. The Portuguese captain scored more than 50 goals during the season and found the back of the net 40 times in the Spanish La Liga – beating the La Liga
record.
While Real Madrid had a lot of players to play in all the positions last season, what they did not have were team players. Each and every player in the team had the ability to perform individually but not as a team. Now, Jose Mourinho is working on bringing
in team players who can help the team keep the ball for a long time.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hamit-Altintop-c15652 are players who can help the team win many ways. While Sahin is an extraordinary passer of the ball, Altintop can play in any position in the midfield. Sahin can help the team with perfect passing while Altintop can be played
in any position and such players are important whenever the injuries in the squad arise.
Next season Jose Mourinho is going to have a lot of players to play in the first team and each and every player is going to fight for a spot in the first team.
Last season, the first team back four were Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Ricardo Carvalho and Marcelo. However, this back line did not really work out for the Spanish Giants.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 was not the best of left backs and he was exploited by many strikers. Even though he was phenomenal while moving up the flank, he was not the best of full backs defensively. Jose Mourinho saw the need of a left back and that is the reason why he
bought the Portuguese left back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Coentrao.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096 shifting
to the centre back role.
