Real Madrid is "broken" - it can be said so, with what has been and is happening this season, which is also the end of 2 consecutive years of empty-handedness. No need to mention the reason or what happened anymore, the question is, what does the White Vultures need to take off again?
Most of the eyes are on President Florentino Perez. Part of the concern is who the future coach role is. However, the matter may only happen at the Bernabeu stadium, which occupies a small corner of Madrid city, but solving it cannot be an individual's job.
Not of Don Perez. Not of the new captain. But of "us", of an ecosystem from leadership positions to players and fans.
Here, like any other team, "we" create an ecosystem and therefore, solving problems is a common task. But the problem is that before looking for solutions from outside, each element needs to ask questions and answers.
The intersection found in the goal of reviving the Royal team will be the optimal solution.
So, what is the question for each component in the ecosystem?
First of all, with Don Perez and the Board of Directors, there are questions to re-determine strategic orientation and intervention in expertise.
Are we buying the players the team needs or the players that the market wants? Are we ready to give full professional decision-making power to the coach? What level should the indulgence for players be set?
The identity of the new coach is still unknown (current rumors are aimed at Jose Mourinho), but whoever it is, the question will revolve around management and tactics.
What will we do to turn individual egos into a unified bloc ready to sacrifice for each other? Do we dare to eliminate expensive but lazy stars who cause trouble to make way for more eager and disciplined players? How to maintain Real Madrid's winning DNA without losing the support of Madridistas who love attacking football?
The current star lineup is not innocent and the question is raised to awaken self-esteem and team spirit.
Did you come to Bernabeu to become a legend of Real Madrid or just to be a springboard for the individual Golden Ball title? When teammates make mistakes on the field, is your first reaction complaining or running 10 meters to cover them? Do you understand that the white shirt you are wearing carries the expectations of hundreds of millions of people and there is no room for complacency?
Finally, for Madridistas, the questions aim at how to create a positive pressure environment instead of a negative one.
Of course, the questions will not stop there, but no matter how many, the highest focus is still on the club, when the slogan "no one is above the team" is still there.
All external evaluations, comments or advice are not decisive. Only when the egos at the Bernabeu unite into us, will Real Madrid return, competing with Barcelona and major rivals in Europe.
