Real Madrid – Star Cast or a Football team
When we look at the current crop of footballers in the team, it includes the best in the planet. With the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, they won their tenth Champions League trophy last season and have boosted their artillery even more this season. The signing of James Rodriguez who was the golden boot winner at the 2014 World Cup, is the biggest one this year. His transfer from Monaco cost the Los Blancos $63 million which is the fourth highest of all time in the transfer market. Toni Kroos, World Cup winner with Germany has also made his way to the club. The midfield and the attacking front have never looked better of any team.
In the recently concluded Super Cup, the midfield comprised of Modric, Kroos and Rodriguez. This formation means there was no place for Angel Di Maria who was such an integral part of Real winning the Champions League last season. He was also the man of the match in that Lisbon final. The new look of the team can also keep Xabi Alonso out of the reckoning because of the heavy and handsome signings. One of the most important questions arising from this situation is that; does Real have the right balance in their team? Ronaldo is one of the players in the team who is unhappy with the probable transfer of Di Maria. He is provided by very important deliveries down the left flank from Di Maria and also provides him with important assists.
The front line of the team though is the costliest than any other clubs too. The trio of Ronaldo, Rodriguez and Bale cost a whopping $229 million in the world. The side is filled with superstars and has also raked in Keylar Navas who was a sensation in the World Cup. With so many players who are capable of winning a match or turning a match on its head on their own playing together it is likely to be phenomenon, but for all its new beaming stars one is still glowing brightest. For its entire team of superstars Real Madrid still needed Cristiano Ronaldo to score a brace and give his side a 2-0 win against Sevilla in the Super Cup final.
