Real madrid's galacticos - Mega players' egos in the modern game
Posted: Sat Sep 18, 2004 10:59 amI read an article about Real Madrid wanting to get a boost over their poor CL result in the La Liga this weekend.
In the article, the report translated what Real coach Camacho said that Real flopped because "we lack the necessary humility", but Roberto Carlos, speaking to Ona Credo radio was quick to retort "did he include himself?" and "we need a little less humility and a bit more attitude. Then I am sure Real will win trophies and play much better."
Camacho said that he would take "full responsibility for the defeat" adding that "clearly, I did not manage to send my players out with the right attitude."
How can a player, no matter how many medals he had won and no matter how big is his contract, give that kind of cr@p to his coach?
If the players need to show more attitude as Roberto Carlos claims, then who is fit to coach him? Probably only a coach who has won the league title, the domestic cup, the CL, the supercup, the World Cup is good enough for him? How many of them are there who happen to be a good coach?
Thank god this kind of cr@p is not tolerated at Liverpool. Your comments, guys? This is more up your alley, Stu...
