Real Madrid is used to being at the top. Whether it’s the first team, fighting for the title in La Liga and the Champions League every year, as well as the youth teams. So obviously, when Real Madrid Castilla is in penultimate place in its group in the Spanish third division, and Real Madrid C (Castilla’s B team) is, in a way, last in its group in the fourth division, well that’s a task. And not just a little…
A situation never seen before in Madrid, and above all, considered intolerable by management. Even if it is true that the teams said subsidiaries in Spain are primarily intended to give playing time and experience at the semi-pro level to young people, more than to obtain results at all costs, the standing of Real Madrid means that even youth teams must be minimally efficient. Raul Gonzalez, legend and coach of Castilla, has already confirmed his departure at the end of the season. And as indicated RelevoReal Madrid wants to change everything this winter to rectify the situation.
A lively winter
Real Madrid therefore intends to recruit players. Some would say that this is obvious, since it is the solution usually considered by clubs when they are going badly. But when it comes to B teams, it’s much rarer, especially in Madrid, where we generally limit ourselves to 2 or 3 players from elsewhere, as was the case with Fede Valverde at the time for example. , and we are mainly counting on local young people who have passed through the U19s before.
An aggressive transfer window to save a drifting boat is therefore to be expected according to the Spanish media. The club, which for example did not bring in any players for Castilla or Real Madrid C last summer, is therefore already looking for reinforcements and is studying numerous options on the market already. And everything indicates that these will, a priori, be more experienced and potentially older players than those who are in the squad. Which could therefore open the doors to players who already have experience in La Liga or elsewhere in Europe…
