Former manager highlight the reason of current Real Madrid crisis
Former Los Blancos manager and player Jorge Valdano says the reason of Real Madrid crisis is down to the fact Rafa Benitez and players has failed to get along.
Real Madrid blow the golden opportunity to gain momentum in the three way title race, as they could had cut the gap from the top two points and succumbed to defeat against Villarreal. Currently Barcelona and Atletico de Madrid are the joint top in the Spanish top flight with 35 points, as Real Madrid struggles continues.

It was Rafa Benitez’s side third loss in the League this season, after suffering hammering defeat against their arch rivals Barcelona and disappointing result at Sevilla.
After the promising start of the season under Rafa Benitez, Real Madrid’s weakness was exposed on their trip to Sevilla, where hosts came from the behind to secure 3-2 victory, followed by 4-0 humbling of Barcelona at Santiago Bernabeu. Following el-clasico debacle home fans lost their calm and jeered players and manager, while asking Florentino Perez to step down from the presidency.

While there are constant reports of fallout between Rafa Benitez and players, and Real Madrid expulsion from Copa Del Rey after fielding ineligible Denis Cheryshev was the reason of further disappointment.
And Jorge Valdano feels manager and players has failed to develop a working relationship.
There was a drop of collective intensity from the first minute. It’s inexplicable what happened in the first half, especially after seeing the second part. Madrid had the opportunity to move within two points and they lost in the first-half with a team with weak spirit. In the first half Madrid acted with an unbecoming mediocrity,” he said.
And he added: “At Madrid you cannot train the same way Villarreal does. It’s much more complex than that. Madrid are paying the price of having a disconnect between the manager and players.”
