The aftermath of an El Clasico thrashing can never be good, and Real Madrid are now facing the wrath of their disastrous outing.
Conceding five goals against Barcelona and nine in aggregate over the two Clasicos this season has not gone down well with fans, well-wishers, and even many individuals inside the board.
Needless to say, there is serious turbulence inside the Real Madrid offices, multiple fingers being pointed, and a state of absolute mayhem.
In a recent update, Jorge C Picon bring out the various internal tensions in the Real Madrid offices, the silent war between the players, the management and the administration.
For starters, there are certain Real Madrid players who have recently been unhappy with Carlo Ancelotti and his management.
They believe the coach is too soft with certain players and harsh on others, clearly calling out favoritism.
Meanwhile, the squad also feels physically exhausted and drained out, which is understandable given the hectic schedule.
Once again, the failure to manage players’ fitness is a finger pointed at the manager.
Keeping the management aside, there are several other key figures who point the finger at the Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez.
Some inside the club feel Perez has not done enough in recent transfer windows to keep the team comeptitive and improve the squad and that he is thus responsible for the downfall.
They also call out the administration’s prioritization of the club’s economic prosperity over on-field success and that the shift in priorities is the root cause of the team’s shortcomings.
The tensions will likely boil down once the team gets back to winning ways. However, it is clear that the defeat in El Clasico has repercussions that will last a long time.
