Schuster’s future And Sniejder’s Situation
Schuster’s future And Sniejder’s Situation
Schuster’s Future doesn’t look bright
This comes as a bit of a shock news. Schuster is not guaranteed a contract extension at Real Madrid despite his successes with Real Madrid over the past season and a half.
Schuster also has come under heavy criticism lately due to his tactics backfiring and his bad “word of mouth”.
News is that Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon and Sporting director think that Schuster’s attitude towards them is not very “respectable” and that he doesn’t know how to handle to the media, to put in simple words.Reports are saying that both parties are not satisfied with each others work and Schuster may quit next season.
Which I think would be a major blow especially at this time (or at that future time) as all the good coaches have been signed by other clubs. If this statement had come in the news at the end of last season then I wouldn’t have even cared to write a post about this as Jose Mourinho was “club less” at that time and would have been the best possible coach to coach Real Madrid or to manage Real Madrid.
Right now I think if Schuster leaves than it would be a little less than a disaster as Capello ain’t free, Benitez (liverpool’s coach), Wenger (Arsenal’s coach), Ferguson (Manchester United’s coach) will not be available in the near future. But as we know, in football or for that matter in life, anything is possible.
So we’ll have to wait and see what develops between Schuster and Calderon. I never believed Calderon and Schuster’s funny interviews where they just came out and said things like “everything is ok”, Schuster is not that kind of a guy.
His personality demands attention and attracts controversy. Anyway, Calderon thinks that Schuster is a bit too “vociferous” about team and club affairs. Secondly, He doesn’t know what he needs, rather he always demands what he wants.
Schuster on the other hand though knows that Calderon understands his successes with the club, but think that Mijatovic and Calderon’s involvment in team selection and new signings is a bit too over the line and Schuster doesn’t like this.
This is the reason why both parties think that there won’t be a renewal to Schuster’s contract. I would like to see how does it affect Schuster and his performance with Real Madrid from this point on till the end of the season. But as always, these are all rumour, which in football are too many times true as opposed to real life I guess.
Yeah one other thing that upset Calderon and other Real Madrid officials was that the fact that Schuster more or less “lied” to the media of his team selection. In the press conference he said that he would field the same team as against Real Betis, but as we all know, Raul did not play.
This did not go down well with the media and club officials especially considering it caused a debate as to whether Raúl should or not be starting. It also gave a poor image of the club with the manager lying to over 100 members of the press assembled for his conference.
The board of directors are believe to be confused by the decision of Schuster, and were left in the dark even more so because no-one knew about the final XI on the day as they thought, through word of mouth, that it had already been confirmed.
When asked about it in Russia, Ramon Calderón said that he did not know any reason why Schuster would lie to the press and as an extension, to the fans.
Moving on to Sneijder.
Though Sneijder is fit, Real Madrid are taking no chances.
Reports are that Real Madrid’s medical team has declared Sneijder , fit for the clash against Espanyol. Sneijder was due to be out for 3 months but due to his motivation and hardwork, has cut down that time by 1 month.
Real Madrid though know this fear that there could be a relapse if their not careful with Sneijder. Plus the fact, that Dutch National team coach could call up Sniejder for National duty which would furthur increase the risk of the player getting injured if Sneijder plays so much football, right after recovery.
Real Madrid are hesistant to field him against Espanyol and will look to go in a club vs country row with Holland over the situation of Sneijder.
I think Real Madrid should demand Dutch National team coach, not to call up Sneijder for the obvious reasons. Plus he is a very crucial part of a strong Real Madrid team and we cannot risk him again, as this is the crucial part of the season where Real Madrid must go up a gear or two to cement their place at the top of La Liga so that they can concentrate on Champions League.
Sniejder remains on track to play against Espanyol as Real Madrid believe that Dutch National team coach will over look Sneijder this time around for National Duty due to his recent recovery from an injury which he picked up against Arsenal in the Emirates Cup , as a result of Abu Diaby’s challenge.
