Most Important Tasks for Rafael Benítez

Being manager of Real Madrid is never an easy job, as Rafael Benítez will see after checking out his most important tasks at the club.

Rafa Benítez was appointed as the new manager of Real Madrid around a month ago and there have been many speculations about his plans ever since. He surely has a lot of work to do in the Spanish capital.

• Benítez will need to talk to CR7 and Bale
• The goalkeeper problem has to be solved immediately
• New contract for Ramos is crucial

The players will gather together in the next few days to start the pre-season trainings. He has worked a lot ever since his appointment, for example he called many of his players about his plans, in addition, he visited Bale in Cardiff. Spanish gambling news collected the most important ones of the remaining tasks for Benítez.

Casillas’ future and De Gea’s arrival

The goalkeeper question is the most important one as it can be rather disturbing for the team manager that he does not know how long he can count with the team captain. Benítez already told Keylor Navas that he counts on him, and Pacheco and Yanez will also be in the list of goalkeepers for the league. The only question is, will Iker Casillas or David De Gea be the number 1?

Renew Ramos’ contract as soon as possible

The atmosphere between Sergio Ramos and Los Blancos is not very pleasant in recent time. The vice-captain wanted to get an improved contract from his club, which would have doubled his salary, but the club refused to give him that amount and offered fewer amount of money for the Andalusian central back. Now gaming news keep linking him to a move to Manchester United. Benítez believes Ramos is vital element for his team.

Face to face meeting with Cristiano Ronaldo

It will not be an easy job for the manager of Galácticos to make Cristiano feel the same way about him as he felt about Ancelotti. The Portuguese winger counted his best scoring numbers during the Ancelotti era, which was crucial part in the Italian head boss’ successful first season. Benítez will meet Cristiano Ronaldo, and tell him about his exact plans for the future, so that the team’s biggest star will know what to expect.

Help Bale get back to his best form

From one huge start to the other. Gareth Bale signed for Real Madrid in 2013 and his first season was pretty much average (which is below the expected standards of a player whose transfer fee was EUR 91 million) but his constant performances were horrible in the second season. It is obvious that the Welshman did not forget how to play football so it will be one of the crucial points for Benítez to make the best out of his fast attacking midfielder.

Analyze the new health department

The medical staff for Rafael Benítez will be completely new, compared to the one that Carlo Ancelotti was working together with, according to online gambling sites in Spain.. The old doctors and physiotherapists left and new ones were brought in in order to help the team prevent huge waves of injury like they had during the last season. However, not all the players are happy with the new decision, for example Jesé is still doing his exercises with one of the fired physiotherapists.

Deciding about Ödegaard’s and Asensio’s future

At Real Madrid, all the supporters as well as the directors are looking forward to find out more about the plans of the new manager about the greatest young talents of the club. Even though his young age, the Norwegian player is expected to prove his worth and fight for his place in the first team. The expectations towards Asensio are similar as people believe he will improve a lot as a football player, and can become the great star of the future.

Strengthening his squad and letting players go

Bringing in new players to the squad is always necessary as it is the best way to refresh the team and bring in some competition year after year. In addition, letting certain players go can also be rewarding as some of them just cannot fight for their clubs any longer and need a change of environment. Real Madrid’s manager will decide about whom to get rid of and whom to bring in to strengthen his squad after he watched every single one of his players during the pre-season.

Have a plan B in case the captains change

The future of Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos is still unknown as there are many rumours about the two captains leaving the club of their dreams, yet nothing is for sure so far. According to Real Madrid’s tradition, Marcelo would be captain number 1 if both Casillas and Ramos left Real Madrid, while Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo were vice-captains. However, mobile betting sites in Spain believe that Benítez would be willing to break the tradition and give the armband to a different player.
