The start of the Champions League this week provides the
latest champion Real Madrid the chance to right the ship after a disastrous
start of season, when he faces Basel by the activity of Group B.
Real Madrid ended a 12 year wait to win their tenth
European championship this year and now has a new goal: defend that crown,
something that no one gets over 25 years.
After the tenth coveted European Cup, aims to extend its
dominance in Europe and make history. Much work awaits for it to Carlo
Ancelotti, who in just four months has seen his team has entered a process of
distrust, with bad results for the lack of continuity in their play and poor
concentration on defense.
The defeats in the league against Real Sociedad and
Atletico Madrid open a wound that should begin to close against Basel. With
players pointed an accusing finger to the fans, who focused their anger at the
captain Iker Casillas with a pinch marks a turning point.
To achieve this, however, will have better assembling new
parts because the first results of the new season have been disastrous: three
defeats in four matches, including two against Atletico Madrid, who had bowed
4-1 in the final of Champions.
Real Madrid was reinforced by figures as Colombian James
Rodriguez and Germany's Toni Kroos, two of the best players in the World Cup in
Brazil. But one misses some of the departed, especially quarterback midfield
Xabi Alonso and Angel di Maria.
The team still does not gel and lost to Atlético mourning
the Spanish Supercopa. Again beat Atlético 2-1 Saturday in the Spanish league,
a week after the meringues should fall 4-2 to Real Sociedad after squandering a
two-goal lead.
