La Liga continues its course awaiting finalizing adjustments to the squads in the last days of the transfer market and the option of Kylian Mbappé remains alive for Real Madrid. The white dream, although complex, maintains a small path in which Cristiano Ronaldo could even play a differential role. Despite the complexities explained by Manu Carreño in El Larguero, the Sanhedrin of former footballers rubs their hands with the new realities that this 'domino effect' would reflect in the negotiations.
Álvaro Benito: “I had always been little optimistic about it. It would be the milk, I hope it would happen tomorrow. It would be a boost for Real Madrid and for the League, but I don't think things will be simple. If the player's desire is maintained, as a lesser evil we will have it next year, “he said.
Kiko Narváez: “If you wait a year, nothing happens,” he said, joking. “The operation does not seem entirely bad to me. It will not arise because we already know what the sheikh's pride is like, but that photo of Cristiano, Neymar and Messi seems like a very good option,” he put on the table.
Raúl Ruiz: “I like that photo and the curiosity of having Messi and Cristiano together. Now, if Cristiano did not come, I understand the sheikh, who wants to go for the Champions League and not reinforce Real Madrid,” he said.
Sevilla, candidate for the League?
Kiko Narváez: “Sevilla has a mirror in Atlético de Madrid to think about great achievements. They are two pessimistic teams because they are always focused and give absolutely nothing. It is the pending work that both Koeman and Ancelotti have,” said the former striker.
Álvaro Benito: “Madrid and Barça have been dominating European football. They had the two best teams in the last decade and we will not see that again, above all with the fortune of having the two best players in the world on rival teams. That could not be maintained, it is a question that this is how football and life are. In a league with a few points Sevilla have all the options, and this year I expect a lot of equality, “he added, assuming the new reality.
Gustavo López: “For me it is going to be a very close League. Stars left (Varane, Ramos, Messi …) and some prestige left in terms of marketing. I think quality has one point less because the strategic and the tactical have taken a step forward. And the physical has taken a gigantic step. It costs a lot to get a hand on any team and those at the bottom come with a very high rhythm, “he continued in this regard.
Atlético and its options to revalidate title
Raúl Ruiz: “I see Sevilla as a clear candidate because the others have dropped. I see Atlético as a clear favorite, but Sevilla also has a very good track record with Lopetegui. Madrid and Barça are no longer going to be those teams that they sweep away and dominate with ease, “he anticipated.
Álvaro Benito: “I don't think Atlético has a better squad than Madrid and Barça. It starts with the advantage of having the GPS already in place because Cholo is there and they keep almost the entire team. Madrid have to rebuild again and Carletto him he is going to do it, but not in two days. And Barça is the same, in the post-Messi stage there are great unknowns because he occupied a sidereal space in this team. For men, I see it very even, “confessed the ex-Madridista from his perspective.
Kiko Narváez: “Rafa Mir was not one of the priorities, but they threw the shuffleboard at him. In a possible injury to Luis Suárez, you may lose all your options both in the League and in the Champions League. You have to bring in a player to give him the chance to rotate and they will go for him “, he rescued, opening the issue of the need to sign at the last minute.
Gustavo López: “Simeone adapts to market circumstances. If Luis Suárez has to be dosed, he needs to be reinforced with a reference above,” said the Argentine in this regard.
Ancelotti's Real Madrid 2.0
Álvaro Benito: “Ancelotti is the most aware that Real Madrid does need order to be competitive. The same in another era not. He is right because the three goals from Levante are totally avoidable. You lose points for defensive errors that you should not commit if you want to be competitive. That is the way. Real Madrid depends on everything that happens when they do not have the ball. If applied, it will aspire to anything “, he revealed, before comparing the version that is to come with the one that presented the hand team of Zinedine Zidane.
“It will have more similarities than differences. The team is practically the same except for the two casualties in the back. The idea of Real Madrid is always the same and simplifying it a lot is to always go on the attack. You must go to look for the rival in your field, progress with him. ball through Kroos and Modric and incorporate many footballers to rival field “, advanced the ex-player in view of the tactical sense applied with the exchange on the bench.
