Real Madrid blurred: Uncertainty from the midfield

Competitions hardly impressive in their final Summer 2015, Real continued disappointing Liga beginning. Royal Spanish team has not faded draw away goal of Gijon weak opponents in this season opening.

Real Madrid blurred: Uncertainty from the midfield

Shopping much but ineffective

Real broke up eight players in this summer include: Iker Casillas (Porto), Sami Khedira (Juventus), Fernando Pacheco (Alaves), Asier Illarramendi (Real Sociedad), Marco Asensio (Espanyol, loan), Jesus Vallejo ( Zaragoza, loan) and Lucas Silva (Marseille, loan).

Among noteworthy that up to three midfielders including Khedira, Illarramendi and young talents Lucas Silva.

Meanwhile, the Bernabeu was greeted Casemiro from Porto and expensive signings Kovavic from Inter for 35 million pounds. However, it is difficult to both Kovavic Casemiro and interest earned in the main stone house full squad of Real.

According to statistics, in 15 years (from 2000), almost any summer Real also acquired central midfielder. 24 midfielder totaling 290 million euro transfer is a huge number, but not always successful players.

Makelele, former Alonso and Modric, current Kroos midfielder few succeed at the Bernabeu. And Illarramendi, who are considered "Alonso II" is typical for the failure in procurement policies of Real in central midfield.

Basque midfielder is expensive signings in history 8th Real (acquired from Sociedad in 2013 for 39 million euros), but only after two years, "Alonso II" was sold to former team with cost 16 million euros (23 million euro loss).

Benitez is struggling

The duo's excellent Kroos - Modric in midfield is probably not controversial. Except in the case of injury or penalty card, 2 players will make the stone interest in Benitez's squad like the previous Ancelotti.

However, in 2 side and the household location is still an unsolved problem with Benitez. Former coach of Napoli has a lot of testing since the beginning of summer, but the effect is not large.

Gareth Bale is probably good examples for '"squirming" Benitez. "Welsh Cyclone" which is the "darling" of President Perez, so Benitez must find like the best position for Bale.

The contract is worth 100 million euro was arranged rock on the left, right, forwards and public protection, but Bale were just disappointing.

In particular, the position of the households are considered "weakness" of Bale because he has no vision of a tactic of "10" but still Benitez is tested and failed miserably.

Isco also attacking from Benitez put in the game against Gijon, but the former Malaga player play nor effective despite best efforts. However, it is also understandable by Isco often arranged play or when rock left over is skewed moved into the middle.

Meanwhile, "the 10 typical" James Rodriguez Benitez has not been used much weight. Despite playing very well in the last season with the role of households, but since the day after the Copa America back to Madrid, James frequently came off the bench even though he was fully fit.

A series of real instability, especially in midfield was exposed. Benitez is probably not difficult to recognize the defects and will be adjustments.

Liga just beginning and Real intact opportunity to "correct", but the problem was never Benitez will create a complete skeleton?
