With
the winter transfer window recently passed, we now look up to the latest
transfers happened all over the world and most importantly to the big clubs in
the football community. Signings by a big club are seen as something different.
These signings are usually a result of work out and brain storming of several
minds in a club’s administration with every intention of making the signing as
successful as ever because a flop signing will usually make much more ripple in
the water than a successful one.
Real Madrid is a name every football fan knows for sure. Usually when you think of
Real Madrid, naturally the images of David Beckham, Ronaldo, Figo, Zinedine
Zidane, and Fabio Cannavaro together in the same jersey come into your mind
known as Los Galacticos. The club known to be famous for its money, high
profile signings and spending large sum of money on every new prospect they
find. We have seen it before and we are seeing it up till now what entails in
the philosophy of this rich club. They usually sign players who were performing
at their best in the current scenario and combine them with more talented
players that’s what we have seen in the past when they combined the likes of
Beckham, Zidane, Figo, Cannavaro, Ronaldo together to form an undefeatable
team. As for today we’ve seen they signed Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Gareth Bale to get
the best result they could get. Unfortunately sometimes those signings get
flopped and it was a whole lot of waste of money.
But
this time there’s something different in Real Madrid’s philosophy. It has
changed a lot since that old Los Galacticos era. There’s a slight hint of
‘building the future’ in their mentality now. What Real Madrid is actually
planning is to build the future over future prospects rather than spending
money on players who will get old after some years. The transition started with
the signings of Isco, Illaramendi, Carvajal back in 2013 and continued in 2014
when they signed some more hot young prospects like Toni Kroos, James Rodrigues,
Martin Odegaard and Lucas Silva, who was signed in January. If we closely look
at these signings we’ll see something common among them that is all of them are
young future prospects playing at their best level either at club level,
international level or at local championship when Real Madrid approached to
sign them.
There’s
one more thing which we see in current scenario is that they are not only
getting young players but also they are promoting their youth players building
a squad more and more Spanish players as we look in the current squad they have
got Nacho, Jese, Illara, Isco, Carvajal all of whom are young Spanish blood who
could make all the difference at the international stage. This is what the Los
Blancos’ fans wanted from them. Spend today to build the future.
