We are hungry

At Real Madrid there is real conviction that the club is about to enter into another golden age.
The two last trophies, particularly the long awaited tenth Champions League title, have boosted the confidence of a team that now
believes it can sweep away everything that comes
across its path. The players appear to be fired up and ready to
face a season full of big challenges. "We're hungry for trophies," these are the words we hear over and over. The season has kicked off on a
very positive note and the players have set the bar extremely high.
The feeling is that they have the necessary tools to do the job, which helps no end. Above all, the
arrival of Kroos is seen as a great boost to the overall game plan. Strengthening the midfield was
an important factor and Real have managed to sign the best in the business. The squad is confident it has the muscle to triumph in every
competition this year.
The team is made up of a long list of top class players, all of whom are brimming with talent. In
the past, the tone has been to err on the side of caution and take the season as it comes but this year the feeling is different.
Ancelotti has helped bring the players together and forge a team spirit capable of fulfilling the
expectations placed on their shoulders.
The Italian coach has managed to lay the foundations to an effective modus operandi in which everyone is seen, to a greater or lesser
degree, to play a part in a successful project. Many have been in the team for some considerable time now, as is the case with Iker, Cristiano, Ramos, Pepe or Xabi - players that have all undergone difficult times and who now realise that the time is ripe to show their full potential as a team.
