Manchester United captain Ashley Young will not be joining Inter Milan next summer neither will he be signing a pre-contract agreement with other clubs having be given a one-year contract extension. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a huge fan of the 34-year-old and feels his presence at the club will be useful to the younger players in the team. Although, the decision to keep him at the club haven't gone down well with fan who vented angrily on different social medias. Some of the tweet reads; "How the might have fallen.. " Another aggrieved post reads: "The more Man U fans want to escape the more the owners give them pain". Another reads: "This Ole and Co. are really taking us for granted. You can't be renewing Ashley's contract while there are real loopholes to cover.. it's getting out of hand". Sad ones goes this way: "Why, just why would you do that? He is part of the dead wood that they need clearing out "This ...
Paris Siant German's 3-0 win over Real Madrid sums up Los Blancos poor recruitment st during the transfer window.
Madrid really struggled to impose themselves, they were bereft of ideas, lacked the intensity to match PSG neither did their star players create anything of note except for two canceled goals.
Everybody expected to see Eden Hazard take the game by the scruff of the neck and win it single-handily for Real Madrid like Cristiano Roanldo consistently did in the past. But, he laboured all day and sight of former Everton man Idris Gueye taking the ball off him infuriated Zinedine Zidane hwo had to substitute him in the 70th minute.
Hazard, Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, Jovic and the rest all struggled against PSG and this is why?
1. Real Madrid signed the wrong players and failed to get rid off dead woods-
Madrid might have signed six players in the summer but none of this players can offer the quality needed to compete with the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool, Juventus or even Napoli. Madrid really needs a sporting director who can identify players that can improve Zinedine Zidane squad and not just buying for the sake of buying.
Why spend £170m on Eden Hazard and Jovic and yet struggle to score goals.
2. Eden Hazard is out of shape and out of form-
One of Real Madrid's biggest problem at the moment is Eden Hazard. The 28-year-old is out of shape and not fit enough to be game changer.
Simpoly put, Hazard is too fat and needs to a new training regime to get back to shape. The job of doing that belongs to Madrid's fitness coach Gregory Dupont who must start right away.
If he can get Hazard in shape than Zidane will now be left with getting the best out of him.
3. Real Madrid don't have a reliable midfield-
Madrid decision to sign Paul Pogba or Christian Ericksen is coming back to bite them. One of those players would've provided serious competition for Toni Kroos and Luka Modric who now play with contempt.
Pogba's presence would've forced Kroos and Modric to train harder and work harder for the team knowing that the french man will permanently put them in the bench before they sold off.
4. Madrid's back-line as well as goalkeeper are all average-
Apart from club captain Sergio Ramos, Los Blancos back-line looks average to say the least. Thiabuat have failed to keep a clean sheet in 21 games and have conceded 56 goals in 41 appearances, embarrassing.
As the saying goes: 'Strikers win you games but defenses win you titles', but in the case of Madrid, Carvajal, Eder Militao, Varane and Mendy can't be relied on to win games talk more of trophies. Ramos remains the only dependable defender in Madrid which frankly is not enough.
5. Zinedine Zidane don't have a plan B,C or D-
Zidane might have won 9 trophies in 2 and half years but his game plan was very simply to read. Keep the defense and midfield tight and always, i mean always pass the final ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, he will score. And boy! did Ronaldo score goals..
He is the all Real Madrid top goalscorer with 379 goals and Champions League top scorer with 121 goals. A player of his stature guarantees you goals and trophies.
But Zidane and Madrid's biggest problem now is that Cristiano Ronaldo is gone and no other player can step up and deliver consistently like he did for nine consecutive years.
Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale or even Vinicius Jr are all good players but none of them can guarantee you 40 goals a season which frankly is problem.
