money and football

Real Madrid and Chelsea, the two names having two things in common. I love these play football and they have lots of money which can not solve their problems. Both have lot of things those separate them . One nine time european champions and one still looking to be one. European championship is one cup is never enough for any club.

And both these clubs are full of superstars or at least so was Madrid 2 years back. But superstars do not seem solve the problem both these clubs face. Chelsea from the point i started watching them have changed four managers and so is real madrid.

Both have different sorts of problem Madrid failed after trying for years with a yteam full of superstars now changed gear to build a team from new comers into stardom. Madrid is a sky where every star shines brighter than before so every small to medium to large star want to be in that sky. Chelsea can pay you some bucks which you don't really need but it is always nice to have.

Chelsea made lot of impact in club football for last 5-6 years in fact they are the ones made English football which is usually boring and defensive strongest in Europe for having four teams in Finals in last 4 years, thats the type of dominance they have on Europe ohh they won two of them. But money can push you to a point only after that you need to find a way out to bury ghosts of your past and be a champion. Chelsea has failed to do so yet. So much so that their season this far has only terms like substandard , dull , boring , lifeless associated with them. They got one of the most successfull and celebrated coach in Scolari and started losing all big games which they won with Avram Grant , a unknown quntity in world football in hotseat. Now they are struggling. I have stopped watching them winning against smaller teams is no credit and losing is obvioulsy no excuse. But they lost to all big four lost their invincibility at home.

real madrid on the other hand still looks like building a team, but the issue here is there is too big a burden to carry such as real madrid on these players who doeas not look like good enough. If they come through this phase they might be as good as the history of the club but certainly not now. they have a long way to go and a lot to prove.

In another two weeks Drama will start again all the big clubs will have their wars against each other. I am watching these two clubs for some years now and still will be watching again hoping to see something positive to come out. I know they do not really play the best football in europe nor do they deserve the prize i am hoping they will win, but you never know.
