Real Madrid won 97 points in the Primera league last year. That is the all-time record for them. However, they finished on the second place because Barcelona won 99. Although their former coach Pellegrini did a great job in forming the new team after so many star players arrived, he got fired in the end because he couldn’t get the title.
Real Madrid’s president Florentino Perez turned to Jose Mourinho, who is labeled by many as the best coach in the world. He brought him from Inter and installed him in the hot seat. He is expected to bring back the glory that Madrid had a few years ago. Although many new players arrived to the club at the start of the previous season, Mourinho had to make a few signings of his own. He sold some players, and brought in two new midfield players who played excellently in the World Cup. Both of them are Germans, Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil. The former is a defensive midfielder who knows how to play in the attack too, and the latter is a creative force. Although Real has the creative strength in Kaka, he is injured most of the time, so having a backup is not a bad choice at all.
The season started and both players settled in very nicely. Sami Khedira played all matches since the start of the season, while Ozil appeared in 70% of the games. Madrid isn’t playing that spectacular, but these two players make a difference indeed.
