If Real Madrid is competing on this coming Sunday at Real Betis in Seville, to bring the Royal a first half to Forget. Up to four will ultimately stand in front of the name of the Champions League series winner. Because after the bitter 0:2 against Real Sociedad on Sunday, which is already the sixth season, broke into the Primera Division at 18. Game, is Real-a point behind Deportivo Alaves only on rank five. And the five good reasons:

1. Cristiano Ronaldo

the three-time Portuguese world footballer, four-time Champions League winner, European champion and non-champion won Real everything there is to win. Nine-year-corded “CR7”, the football boots at the Santiago Bernabeu and scored in 292 games incredible 311 goals. In the summer he moved to Juventus. And with it, the scoring chances, Real Madrid went. Madrid found in the last few years, always the best, or behind arch-rival FC Barcelona’s second best Offensive of the Spanish elite League, prey, the goal this year is just mediocre. Real has scored fewer goals than the tenth Levante UD and more often lost as the third-to-last from Bilbao. It certainly has something to do with the charisma of Ronaldo’s, the knotted the opponents at the start already in the legs. With Ronaldo the strongest or perhaps the only weapon is lost Real. For Isco, Gareth Bale and co. are no match for the heritage.

2. Chance usury

Just 26 goals – the has the offensive quality to Real Madrid with Ronaldo. Karim Benzema, Isco, Bale, or even the youngsters Lucas Vazquez and Vinicius Junior miss too many chances. The Frenchman Benzema has seven goals best scorer. For comparison: Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have scored 16 and 12 goals – together added 28 and more than all Madrid players. The second-best scorer Reals, incidentally, is Sergio Ramos. And is known to be a Central defender.

3. Royal squad is full

14 title in five years – from the Spanish championship, the Cup, European and Spanish supercups and the world club Cup to the Champions League. The Team has won all the major titles at least once. The backbone of Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Marcelo, Daniel Carvajal, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema has satisfied his hunger for success. In addition, in this period, two world champion titles found their way to Madrid, with the German Kroos 2014 and the Frenchman Varane 2018. Real needs new impulses – or just a setting that makes the lack of Hunger.

4. Arrogance

FC Barcelona and Sevilla FC – na lose clear against the Top Teams in the League can Real Madrid change. Wherein the 1:5 in Barcelona, the last game of coach Julen Lopetegui, for the clarity of concern. Real Sociedad, Levante UD, Deportivo Alaves, SD Eibar and twice for CSKA Moscow in the Champions League – these are, then, enemies would have to be able to cope with the Spanish record Champions and record-Champions-League-winner. Especially the 0:3-failures in Eibar and against Moscow at the Santiago Bernabeu shocked the Fans. Because there were defeats, and they knew so. Real, fought back, and played his boots, as always, and had no feet on the ground. The Spanish Newspapers called it presumptuous, studied the collection of world-class footballers from any of the failures. Whether it is after the further setback against Real Sociedad in a different way?

5. Zidane’s legacy

Sven Goldmann

Julen Lopetegui was a sorry. The new Era that he will usher in Real Madrid, it started so incredibly tragic. Without consultation with the Spanish Association of Real presented the new coach before the start of the world Cup in Russia in June 2018 and the Federation sacked the national coach prompt. A few months later, Lopeteguis time had expired in Madrid, after six defeats from 14 Games. Successor, Santiago Solari collected in his first eleven Games already three failures. Nine defeats makes the together – with so many collected Zinedine Zidane in the whole of the 2017/18 season in 62 Games. It is also a pretty heavy legacy, the had to no matter take which coach in the summer of last year in the middle of Spain. The most successful club coach in 2014, left the club with the title of the best team in Europe. It must be the successor measure. Has managed, so far, neither Lopetegui yet Solari. So it is not sure that Madrid has seen this year, the last coaching change. I am sure, however, that this alone would help.
