Hello, Revista de la Ligures.

That's where I am, which means that instead of being in Florida, where Real Madrid are,

I'm in Texas.

Alone Star State now has two stars, just like the Dandies.

This video is going to be for Socios. Here's the star to pretend in that

I think Chabby Alonso has inherited a brutal project at Realmoded.

There are layer after layer of difficulties.

The exception is that he has a squad full of absolutely exceptional footballers

and now a clutch of at least interesting

emerging young players that I'll tell you about. Plus two big new soundings,

Hausen at Centreback and Trent Alexander Arnold at right back throughout the season, maybe even

at right midfield.

He's in the States for, he hopes, not quite a month but nearly, at a time when his players should be resting.

He's in the States, having just taken over, having had partial contact with his footballers,

some of whom were on holiday, some of whom were doing international duty, some of whom were

injured, and a small coterie were ready.

And now he's got this pressure on him from Florentino Perez, when he made the money, potentially

125 million euros depending on your performance if you win it.

I don't think many cultures have had a more poisonous or difficult beginning to their reign at Real Madrid.

That's my proposition. And for the Socios, I'm going to explain why.

For those of you who aren't socios, join up.

It's as simple as pie, and it only costs about one slice of pie.
