Legend of Italian football, Fabio Capello sat twice on the bench of Real Madrid. First in 1996-97, then in 2006-2007, ten years later. During his second visit, the former AC Milan and Juventus coach (among others) experienced the galactic period.
Zinedine Zidane had just retired, but the workforce of the Merengues then had players Ronaldo, Robinho, David Beckham, Roberto Carlos or Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos.
Concerns in Real Madrid
In an interview with Flashscore, Fabio Capello was invited to compare this Real Madrid, galactic era, in current Real Madrid. Does he see similarities? “I would say yes. They are galactics, he judges about the Madrid. They are a little more difficult to play together because Mbappé and Vinicius play at the same position and therefore they are walking on their feet, and they are not performing. So they have great qualities, they manage to assert what others cannot do in reduced spaces, in games that no one thinks, but it is not this harmony of play. ”
Beyond the concerns of complementarity between Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr, Fabio Capello sees other concerns: “It's a team of galactics in front, with problems in the midfield after the departure of Kroos, defense problems with the injuries of Carvajal and others. »»
