This season Real Madrid are facing a lot of challenges when ever they meet with their opponents, they look very unserious this season, but according to people’s that is due their some of players that are injuries that’s why their performances always look down in every of their match. And with the way Real Madrid end last season with good performance; nobody expects that there performances will very unserious this season.
I still think Real Madrid is quite serious in building their team this season because their less than optimal performance lately does not mean that they should judge them as not serious in playing in every match. But it is more about the performance of their players who are a bit chaotic because there are old players who have retired and also there are new players who may not be used to the tactics in Real Madrid. So I will not judge them for seriousness or not because in reality they are really serious in every match even though the results may look different for this season.
Real Madrid are not a very poor team and their performance speaks a lot about that. Just like you said, even if they don’t achieve victory in their matches recently, their performance are always great and you’ll see that this team is serious and hungry to win matches. They may be experiencing some real problem now which most teams do face during the season but that does not mean they’re weak and cannot give their best this season. Their position on the standings is not what is expected from a defending champion of the champions league but sometimes we may see some poor performance at the beginning and then later see them being their best again and win the trophy. I don’t doubt their ability to win the trophy this season and I’m sure they will definitely do something about their performance to be well positioned for the UCL trophy.
