Guillem Balague, a leading La Liga
expert, says Real Madrid president
Florentino Perez will “probably get rid
of” manager Rafa Benitez after the
sobering 4-0 defeat by Barcelona at the
Bernabeu.
The La Liga champions ran riot at
the home of their rivals on Saturday
evening, with goals from Neymar,
Luis Suarez (2) and Andres Iniesta
putting them six points above Real in
the Spanish table.
Benitez had lost just once in his first
15 games in charge of Real Madrid
following Carlo Ancelotti’s departure
in the summer, but Balague believes
the impatience at the club is the
result of a flawed model, and says
Real will most likely soon be looking
for a 12th permanent manager this
century.
Balague said:
“There is no way whatsoever that
this kind of performance – we’re not
even talking about the result – but
the performance, will have no
consequences. It has to have
consequences. That’s how Real
Madrid works.
“That means of course that
Florentino Perez will probably get rid
of the manager
“This is a problem for Real Madrid
that will not change unless the whole
idea and whole philosophy changes.
“The business plan is brilliant –
they’re very, very rich. The football
plan is very poor, and under
Florentino Perez they have won one
league in seven years, which suggests
that his idea of putting big names on
the pitch does not work.
“Of course, Rafa is not the only one to
blame, but it’s almost much easier to
get rid of the manager.”
