Toril, here is a hater

A redeemed hater, from the times of Mou.

We lived Madrid intensely. Before writing these lines I have reviewed various news about everything that happened between Mou and Toril, which I did not remember well (links 1,2,3,4). And beyond the headlines, it is in the authors of the headlines that I remember why I went with Mourinho in that war. Of course, Arbeloa was right when he said those days that the spanish press (here now called cavernesca) used Toril to attack Mou.

The cavernesca, in times of Mou and Pep, asked for players from Real Madrid Castilla to play (a young Nacho was one of them, with the discussion of whether he was central -as Toril said- or lateral -as Mou said) and not that Varane Real Madrid had signed. Just as they criticized Casemiro or Fabinho, who were Mou's whims that would never be anything in football.

We all became a bit extreme with Mou. We went to war without quarter (necessary to beat Pep and its terminals) and unpleasant things happened. That was the foundation of what happened next. Champions were won, without Mou, but nothing could have happened without Mou.

And now Toril is back and has buried all the haters that were left. Its results are incontestable, although I will point out some shortcomings, to meet the remaining objectives, which are important: to enter the UWCL (and there is no margin for error)

- Esther as a 10

It is true that Esther needs to be in the game, to have contact with the game, but it is also true that Esther is not the queen of releasing the ball... she tends to be an individualist. She scores goals but as a 10 the team loses more than wins

- Combination Esther-Nahikari

It is not working, except for some brilliant plays, as both of them have quality. Nahikari is struggling to find her niche, but surely with Esther it's a bad combination. How about combining Nahi with a more tactical player like Asllani?

- Not using Lorena 

It is true that she has little height, but she has a romance with goal, and the goal is everything in football. Lorena as a resource in stuck matches has been missed. When she has minutes she takes advantage of them and that should be taken into account https://twitter.com/realmadridfem/status/1510547962342031371 < p style="text-align: justify;">- The little rotation in the middle

Zornoza is indestructible, but Toril must not go crazy and leave Claudia without rest, in matches that are already decided. Some girl from Real Madrid B could have minutes in Zornoza place or as a 10,vLorena herself played minutes there.

- Toril Instagram montages

Yeah, he must improve them.

Jokes aside, Toril has given us rasmia, as is said in Aragon. Tenacity, strength, to achieve the goal of fighting. Titles and entry into the Champions League, and here we are.

No, nobody should be nowadays a Toril hater, although you can criticize things, obviously. What is certain is that he has proven to be a great coach, a wise choice, and he undoubtedly knows more about the team than me or anyone who writes on a website or on Twitter. He has all the confidence of Real Madrid.

However, the big question that closes the circle remains. Mou managed to finish off Pep. That Barça died exhausted, the historic winning cycle was broken. Now the great challenge, and it is very likely that Real Madrid will have to overcome it, in Spain and in Europe, is to finish off Barça made in Putellas.

That challenge, Toril, will be your great contest: find how to do it. Claim your strenght as a coach in the face of a total challenge.

Total challenge, yeah, but this is Real Madrid.
