Discussion Help me see reasons to be optimistic.
Hello,
First of all, I want to say that I've been a madridista since 1998, I was there before the first Galácticos, I was there when we couldn't get past the round of 16 of the CL, I was there for La Décima, I've been to the Bernabéu. I'm saying this before anyone tells me I'm "not a real fan" because I don't support the team.
So, like I said, I've been here a long time, and I've lived through tough times with the club, yet I've never felt what I've been feeling for two seasons and a bit now.
I've never felt such shame watching my team and, worse than that, such despair that the situation will get better.
I don't see what could change unless there's a huge clear-out of the squad. A lot of players have to leave, either because they don't have the level (anymore), or because their attitude is poisoning the group.
Nobody will be able to get anything out of this squad, rotten by status and hierarchy. You could bring in Guardiola and it wouldn't change a thing.
I love my club. I will always love my club. But I deeply dislike this team.
