Florentino Perez blasts Real Madrid squad after second trophyless season as criticism grows over transfers and dressing room culture

The key line for me is not the failure part. It is the responsibility part. If you want responsible players, you need a coherent hierarchy, a respected coach and a squad built with balance in mind.
 
Question is simple. Does he actually change his approach now, or does he just sack somebody and repeat the cycle?
 
Quick thoughts
- players deserve heat
- Perez deserves heat too
- midfield still looks like the biggest issue
 
The Kroos-type replacement point is important. Their progression and control profile dropped, and that puts more stress on every other unit.
 
Some people are going too easy on the players though. Yes, Perez made errors, but some of the on-pitch attitude has been disgraceful.
 
This quote opens four debates at once:
- Perez and squad planning
- whether the players have become too entitled
- the manager situation
- whether Mbappe and Vini can actually coexist properly
 
I actually think the comment about them not living up to the shirt is fair. The issue is he also has not lived up to the standards in how he built the team.
 
The modern game punishes imbalance quickly. If two attackers do not press enough and the midfield cannot fully control transitions, even elite talent looks disjointed.
 
the anti mbappe stuff in some comments is a bit much tbh. sounds like there are bigger structural problems than just one player
 
for me the defence gets way too much blame on its own. theyre exposed constantly because the team never looks settled through the middle
 
florentino doing the whole disappointed dad routine is comedy when hes half the reason the house is on fire
