Luxemburgo in heated talks with Real Madrid chief Sacchi

Real Madrid coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo held a very animated discussion with general manager Arrigo Sacchi yesterday at the club's training HQ.

Initially, Sacchi, Luxemburgo and vice-president Emilio Butragueno spoke with the Real players as a group in front of the watching media.

But after that show of support and unity for the cameras, Luxemburgo and Sacchi were later spotted in deep conversation for 35 minutes pouring over last week's failure in Turin.

Luxemburgo has identified the problem areas of his squad and detailed his analysis to Sacchi during the talks. The meeting became very passionate, with the Brazilian being photographed gesticulating wildly at times as he put his point across to Sacchi.
