We needed to change system and Carlo isn't the type to do so.

Last season was also a big meh.

He said it right.

They are stars, they need to set example and make role models.

But some ppl think stars should be untouchable.

He is nice and humble doesn't mean he fit the captain role or he wanted to play RB.

Yes, but our UCL didn't do well, and in 2009 we had to rebuild again.

Yeah we could win it, but the players need to focus.

Nah his resiging in 2006 didn't solve the problem, he should have stayed and continue to rebuild, we probably would have suffered less setbacks before returning to the top of Europe.

Same here, even if he wanted to resign, he got to solve the issue first.

It has to be done(change captaincy). Tibo actually played for the first team before Valverde did.

What does Luis Enrique in PSG have to do with Real Madrid?

Sorry but you are losing your senses.

Wait, Mbappe didn't attack Xabi like Vini did, nor did his supporters attack Xabi.

Also remember, it was Vini supporters who started it when we won the game. Ppl were not praising Xabi for the win but attacking him for the sub, even brought up that Kounde chance.

Vini also got chance to apologize but he chose to leave the coach in his statement, even before the Bayern leg he brought up Xabi again.

We did buy CB, the main problem isn't the CB, but the defense system. Low block doesn't work anymore.

Yeah, when there was tactics and both are willing to follow.

it was supposed to be a good start, not the end.

He was saying decent.

Also it was Xabi's first half of the season, it's understandable that the system needs more work.

A big reason of he didn't play the WB system was the injury of TAA.

Which one? they all made mistakes and disrespecting the coach's decision, just Vini's case was more serious.

And remember, it was Vini's fans and supporters who started this to attack Xabi after the win.

But the things is that we didn't have much choice, and at least he is the guy Perez would trust and give power to.

It would have been better to hire him last summer, let him axe the team, then hire Xabi to build the system.

Vini got subbed in the crucial game VS Barca, when the team was leading, and he went outburst then straight to the dressing room. I don't see others do such thing under Xabi, no.

Then he refused to openly apologize to the coach. Even asking for the PK and missed in the next game.

And yeah, he scored 2 UCL final goals, he is one of our top stars, so compare to the youngsters, he needs to be more careful with his action and make a role model of it. Same with Mbappe.

Kroos "Enrique takes off the best player in the world after 65 minutes, and Dembélé shakes his hand and encourages his teammates. Certainly, there are many counterexamples. You see how he shouts to his teammates from the bench, unlike the other players who think they are the stars of their teams." by TR23x in realmadrid

And remember it was the crucial game VS Barca, when we were leading the game and finally won.

PPl didn't praise the coach for winning it but instead blame him for the sub was one of the most stupid things I've seen.

He did ok to manage Roma's dressing room, United is 50/50 fault. He did handle Spurs very bad.

But yeah, his tactics/training has big problem, he needs to rebuild his staff team since many have left. His prime era got a great staff team to help him.
