Benitez style: His football and its players

Benitez style: His football and its 

players

Occur, the arrival of Rafa Benitez on Real Madrid would be accompanied by a series of measures that determine their form of style, catechism and forms of live football. Provided you possess the freedom to assume in managing the technical area, the Spanish coach promises a hard physical training, rigor and tactical discipline, a policy of varied rotations, and what worries the white church, a new not always according to the most liked by Chamartin football style method.

Beyond schemes, technical styles are defined largely by the signings made ​​and performance that extract them. Prone to 4-2-3-1 scheme basis, with possible adaptations to 4-4-2 The script of the current coach of Naples reveals, among other things, a lot of pressure and balance as top of their equipment. Its stars also sacrifice for the good of the team. However, to evaluate with precision and rigor, it should take look back and analyze their achievements.

Valencia: forging a style

Unmistakable. In many of these virtues Valencia were made manifest.It is hard not to praise the production of a group that despite not having great stars and have a limited budget, was able to draw exponential revenue. She not surprisingly won two league titles and one UEFA. The defensive strength, represented in Pellegrino and players 'supercentral' Argentine Ayala, sustained a very orderly and giddy with team spaces. A powerful counterattack that distributed the weight of the scoring ability in various front and Angulo, Oliveira or Xisxo, and second-line players such as Baraja, Aimar, Vicente Rufete or more a mentality bombproof, were the keys success.

Liverpool: 70 signings and a historic Champions

During his time in front of the English side, Benitez, beyond the value accorded to the results, a reputation he appreciated his handling of economic control, signing only as needed and at a reasonable cost is earned. This could be challenged in subsequent stages. At the time, the newspaper 'The Times' put their management 'investment' in Liverpool called into question, at least as far as financial stability is concerned. Perhaps too many entries and exits.

- Total spent on signings: 226 812 275 million

- Total recovered in transfers to other clubs: 129 244 915

- Difference: 96,980,654 (the approximate price of Cristiano Ronaldo)

- Contracted players: 70

- Players sold or freedom card: 72

These were his figures in six seasons. Although they were lower than the most powerful clubs in the Premier not show exactly a good balance, especially in the amount of contracted items. And most importantly, many of those signings did not meet expectations because its quality rather than price, showed considerable uncertainty.

In its first year, the arrival of Xabi Alonso (15 million euros) Luis Garcia (8.5 million) and Josemi (3 million) counteracted the departure of Michael Owen. A risky proposition that worked to bring the Champions League against Milan. Also it premiered the 'Spanish Liverpool'.

From there, except for a FA Cup the following season, highlighted the high Crouch and Queen, the rest of the courses are followed without major triumphs another Champions League final could not win. There is no denying the return of players like Torres (28 million euros),Mascherano (26 million), Kuyt (12.7 million), Benayoun (7 million) orRiera (11.3 million), but given the financial deficit and shortages major titles, for many, the aggregate, its period there was not outstanding.

Naples, return to glory

In his brief passage through the Inter or Chelsea, featured only inheritance left by Mourinho and Di Matteo, respectively, more or less consolidated projects, and in which little could intervene. However, in Naples, the president Aurelio de Laurentiis made ​​available from the outset the money paid for the sale of Edison Cavani to PSG, and the arrivals Callejon, Albiol, Queen and Higuain was addressed. The goal, to return to winning ways Neapolitan club. With a Cup and Italian Super Cup, that goal has not been met entirely.

The Real Madrid fan already knows what kind of coach occupy the bench at the Bernabeu and character and discipline and tactical rigor can print the team. Guarantee defensive robustness, absolute reliability in the physical preparation, estimated by the meritocracy, the output speed of the ball and scoring profitability. Of course, it has a strong preference for players of a very specific profile, pointing in emphatic Benitez footballing identity. Fast forward, ends with a broad scope, and ultimately, versatile men to their sets, and with a great capacity for sacrifice. The team always over individualism. That that his letter. They always like it or not ... it's something else.
