This post isn't to shit on Ancelotti, he was a fantastic manager for us and helped stabilize the cup and brought plenty of silverware and I will forever be grateful for that.
What I will say is this season even though its obvious the team is still adapting to Xabi's instructions and playstyle and with the a lot of new additions to the team, it feels like for the first time in a long time, I am enjoying watching realmadrid actually play again.
For a long time it felt like I was watching because I had to watch it and there was no inspiration watching the team play and the only thing that mattered was the end result and while the results are truly the most important thing, as fans that is not what inspires us to start supporting the team and become lifelong fans.
I want to sit down and watch a madrid game with excitement, expectations and enjoyment and I think Xabi is bringing that back slowly. The little intricate plays in tight spaces, the runs, the passing, movement and swagger this club has been known for feels like it's coming back and that was show in the marcelo like passing from Trent, the Ronaldo like chop from Vini and the ramos esque passing from Dean.
The results are obviously vital and very important but I urge the fanbase to give Xabi and the players time, let them cook and to support them when they eventually struggle but I believe sooner rather than later we will become a dominant force again.
Hala Madrid!
