Real Madrid 2010 - 2011: New Squad, New Hope

Real Madrid are one of the top soccer teams in Europe. They have won a lot of trophies in Europe and domestic competition. However, they failed to show their best performance in the last few years. In the Champions League competition, they are always out in the last 16. They are also outclassed by their rival, Barcelona, in the domestic competition, Spanish La Liga. To get better result for the next season competition, they have done a massive reform in their team.

Recently, they have just introduced the Special One, Jose Morinho as their new coach. We have already known his capacity and ability as a coach. He brought FC Porto to win the UEFA Champions League in 2004. The following year, he moved to Chelsea FC and brought Chelsea to win the English Premier League title in 2005 and 2006. His success did not stop as he became the coach of Internazionale a year after. This time, he brought Internazionale to win scudetto in 2009 and the UEFA Champions League in 2010. In short, With all of that long list of achievements, I think he is a perfect coach for a big team like Real Madrid.

Now, let's look at their squad. They have already got great players in their team such as Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. However, it seems that those star players are not enough so they try to sign more and more star players. So, Samy Khedira and Mesut Ozil that have become the part of German success in the World Cup are brought to Santiago Bernabeau. They also bought a new defender in a shape of Ricardo Carvalho. Mourinho has known him since he was a coach in Porto so it's not a surprise for me to see this fact.

In short, with a new coach and some new team personnel, I do hope that Real Madrid will be a much better team next season. One thing for sure that the new squad will bring a new hope for Real Madrid team and their supporters.
