I was just thinking aloud this afternoon. Are we sure we are going to witness an exciting Laliga this season? Are we sure that Real Madrid will live upto the expectation? I am not confident of Real Madrid because from last season, they have proven to be so so shallow.
Forget the individual show of the players. Just remember that those white folks ended the season trophyless last season, which is unlike them. Also, just yesterday PSG proved that Real Madrid is far from returning to their good forum. I am having this feeling that Real Madrid will struggle this season.
Always better to have low expectation instead of always thinking big for Madrid. They're just signing Xabi from Leverkusen, and need time to adapt with his club. Signing a new coach pretty much the same like resetting the club from zero. They're still having a bunch of unsolved problems. They need to fix all positions.
I expected the same like you believe they may be struggle next season. They have star players, but mostly played individually without good coop.
Although their outright odds said opposite thing, i still stick to their result in CWC, which showed how poor they're. It's too far in expecting them to win everything again.
