Real Madrid Needs to get Real

It’s an exciting time to be a Real Madrid fan. Or is it?

Real Madrid has incorporated some exiting changes for a successful run in the 2013-2014 season. Los Blancos had a successful pre-season and now they look forward to take the crown back from the current champions and arch-rival FC Barcelona. Real Madrid is adding the services of key players that can create opportunities and dismantle a strong defense. However, fans have had their share of empty promises in the past; tournaments are won at the end of the season and not talking before any action has taken place on the pitch. Though it is undeniable that Real Madrid are coming strong and it will be interesting to see how the newly integrated players will translate into a positive performance on the pitch.

Isco, one of the new members of the squad is already showing up and making fans smile as he scored the late winner against Real Betis. It was a match that turned out to be more competitive than expected for Los Blancos as Betis was playing fast and created some opportunities to put it on the net as well. But Isco is an important addition to the club, he’s young, fast, a good header and passing skills.

Does Real Madrid need to get real? They have had an aggressive campaign in their pursuit of the Welshman Gareth Bale who has incredible talent and would be an asset to any team that can acquire his services. Real Madrid is willing to pay 100 million Euros in the table for the purchase of this fantastic midfielder. Is the price right? There is no doubt that this player has the qualities that can easily be incorporated into Madrid’s rhythm. Bale is fast and capable of outpacing defenders, he’s strong and has a great left foot and accurate long-range shots. However, many fans are saying he is not worth more than Ronaldo; given that the Portuguese star had already achieved great success in the English Premier League before Madrid set eyes on him and bought him from Manchester United four years ago.

Gareth Bale is a great player! Also it’s a great sale for Tottenham Spurs, not so sure if it is the right purchase for Real Madrid but the current season will have plenty of games to give us a better answer.
