Rafael Benitez has received massive criticism after he was hired as coach in the summer.
See the press conference top!
Spanish media claim that the former Liverpool manager has lost confidence in large parts of the play group because of their defensive play style and treatment of the group.
Tuesday summoned the club’s powerful president Florentino Pérez a press conference to explain about Benitez’s future.
– We have analyzed the sporting results with the club’s board. And our coach Rafael Benitez has our full confidence. He has just started here, and we want him to get the best out of the squad this season. I understand the frustration of the fans, but we believe we have to work hard. And we must give him the confidence to continue and we are confident that he gets success, says Pérez.
– We are convinced that we have a brilliant troop here which will give much joy to our fans, who deserve the best. Rafael Benitez is our choice to bring success to the club, which has struggled since January. Now we need the fans support Benitez and the club. We need all the support we can get, concludes club president.
You mean the media has spread lies
– Has anyone in the board demanded that Benitez should be kicked?
– No one in the club’s board has said the. As you know so have more players have been out injured. Barcelona has played with the same team for a long time. Our team needs time to play together, match Real Madrid’s club president and rejects simultaneously the players to be unhappy with Benitez as coach.
– It is not normal that I have to stand here and deny these allegations. There are many stories that do not match the media. There are clearly people who create lies to destroy the image of Real Madrid, he said.
– lies about Ronaldo is a campaign against Real Madrid
Florentino Pérez goes simultaneously to the throats of the media which has claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo is for sale, and believes the rumors surrounding the big star’s future is a deceitful campaign against Real Madrid.
– Cristiano Ronaldo has never demanded that Benitez should be removed, or that he will be sold. This is said to destabilize Real Madrid. Every day it comes out new stories, but none of these stories are true. I have been at a dinner with Pedro Mendes and PSG is not true, says Pérez before continuing:
– This is a campaign against Real Madrid. It is false to say that I will sell Cristiano Ronaldo, and it makes me sad that someone has a campaign against Real Madrid. We know who these people are, but we will not go out with names. They matter no right to use the media in this way. Media should never have allowed these people use the media to destabilize Real Madrid, he says.
At the press conference would Pérez however not confirm that Benitez will be Real Madrid coach throughout the season if the results are vain.
– I’m talking about what we think about it now. I can not say what happens in the future. Nobody knows what will happen in six months, he said.
The fans have had enough of Benitez
Leader in Real Madrid fan club in Norway, Bendik Eftang, believes Rafael Benitez has disappointed big as coach at the Bernabeu and should be replaced.
– My personal opinion is that Benitez has not worked in Real Madrid in terms of play and contact with the players on the team. Benitez is supposed to be a difficult guy to work with. But it was probably hard to find someone who was sympathetic to Benitez after the good relationship the fans and players of Carlo Ancelotti, says supporter leader to TV2 Sport, before he states:
– I had not exactly taken to tears about whether Benitez had been sacked.
Zidane mentioned as possible substitutes
Spanish media have long speculated that Castilla-chief Zinedine Zidane might take over if Benitez gets fired.
– The problem for Real Madrid is who can take over now mid-season. It has been talked about Zidane, but the question is whether he is ready. He has just been totally ok candidates with Castilla, he points out.
– What would a coach change mean for Ødegaard in Real Madrid?
– It’s hard to say. Zidane know the old Ødegaard, and will probably continue to follow him up if he was A-team coach. But this season the Ødegaard trained as much under Benitez on Real Madrid’s A-team that under Zidane on Castillas trainings, responding Eftang, and reminiscent of the following:
– Naturally will a coach change go beyond stability trainer since for Ødegaard, but he chose enough not Real Madrid because there was stability in exercising front either.
– Does not everything under Benitez
Sky Sports’ renowned La Liga expert Guillem delay in sorting claims that club president Pérez regret Benitez-employment.
– According to people around Pérez then club president admitted that he made mistakes when he hired Benitez. But I think that players must take much of the blame. They really want to give everything under Benitez? I have my doubts, writes the delay in sorting in his commentary on Sky Sports News.
Got full support from Wenger
Benitez will however support from an unexpected source. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger gives a press conference today its full support for the hard-pressed Real Madrid boss.
– I will take this opportunity to give my full support for Rafael Benitez, who is a brilliant manager. It would be unserious to kick a manager after 12 fights, believes Wenger.
