Real Madrid and its squad last season (Part 1)
The Portuguese coach, Jose Mourinho, has worked remarkably on the Spanish La Liga Giants, Real Madrid. For the past few seasons, Los Blancos have acquired the services of extremely brilliant football players but they have not managed to accomplish a lot
of silverware.
Real Madrid’s arch rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, are considered to be a team not only the best in the world but in the history of the game. The current Spanish and European Champions have managed to accomplish a lot of silverware under their head coach Josep Guardiola
who took charge back in 2009.
Barcelona managed to win six trophies when Josep Guardiola became their head coach back in 2009. Later, the Spanish Champions kept on winning trophies while Real Madrid were still searching for the perfect coach.
Last season, Madrid finally found the best man in the business – Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese tactician has accomplished a lot in his career and when it came down to recruiting a coach, Real Madrid decided to lure the best in the business.
Mourinho’s accomplishments are known all around the world. The current Madrid coach helped Porto win the Champions League. Later, he helped http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 win a double. Chelsea is the only team in which he couldn’t win the European competition as he joined the
Italian Champions, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan.
While being a part of Inter Milan, Jose Mourinho took the team to a totally next level. The Portuguese tactician helped them win a European treble for the first time in the last 45 years.
That was the season when Josep Guardiola was in his second year at Barcelona. The Catalans were the favourites to win the Champions League but Mourinho’s tactics in the semi final helped his side win the game against Barcelona.
Madrid saw what Mourinho had managed to do against Barcelona and that was one of the few reasons why he took the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Barcelona, on the other hand, stuck to their plan of playing tiki-taka football with the team Guardiola had started to build. With the likes of players like Andres Iniesta, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 and Xavi Hernandez, Barcelona looked to be as strong as ever.
As soon as Jose Mourinho joined Real Madrid, he decided to sign a few players who could really strengthen the team in terms of the squad depth. Mourinho had the perfect plan and in his first season he showed that he can give Barcelona a tough competition.
The last coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629.
Pellegrini had built a team which could win trophies in any other league. However, Barcelona were just too good for them throughout the season and the Catalan Giants showed that time and time again.
With Josep Guardiola in charge at the Nou Camp, Barcelona became one of the strongest teams in Europe. Pellegrini helped his side pick the highest amount of points in their history of La Liga; however, Barcelona somehow managed to surpass Los Blancos and
took the title despite Pellegrini’s efforts.
The very next season, Madrid decided to change its head coach and it was Jose Mourinho who took charge at the Santiago Bernabeu.
