ESPN FC
Real Madrid's Benfica Revenge?

But in the best scenarios, like the players will do it themselves.

ESPN FC

So I'd like to think that Bellingham has been in that locker room or dressing room and said it a few times when things haven't been good enough and he's mentioned people directly because I think at some point you do need to have that clash as such because otherwise you can't really move forward because as soon as people start moving different directions, I think your time's up.

ESPN FC
Real Madrid's Benfica Revenge?

That's a good question, you know.

ESPN FC
Real Madrid's Benfica Revenge?

That's a very, very good question.

ESPN FC
Real Madrid's Benfica Revenge?

I think as I see them,

They just have to work harder.

ESPN FC
Real Madrid's Benfica Revenge?

You know, they're not performing to their absolute maximum defensively, for example, to where you can say, well, that's all he can give us.

ESPN FC
Real Madrid's Benfica Revenge?

I think there's always the element to be able to work harder because some guys like, you know, I had a manager who once told me, you know, some people when they go into attack, it's like they're sprinting downhill.

And yes, say defending isn't, say, the perfect skill for a lot of the attackers at Real Madrid and elsewhere around the league.

ESPN FC
Real Madrid's Benfica Revenge?

But you do the best that you can.

ESPN FC
Real Madrid's Benfica Revenge?

And I think if they get it right from the front, it's easy to get it right behind.

ESPN FC
Real Madrid's Benfica Revenge?

It's easy to get it right at the back and it's easy for the goalkeeper.

ESPN FC

But for when other people aren't necessarily pulling their weight, then you end up being in this position whereby it's like one game on, one game off.

ESPN FC
Real Madrid's Benfica Revenge?

Because when it clicks, as we saw with PSG all those years ago, it looks amazing.

ESPN FC
Real Madrid's Benfica Revenge?

But then when it doesn't click, teams can have so much joy against you.

ESPN FC
Real Madrid's Benfica Revenge?

I think Real Madrid conceding four the other day kind of sums that up.

It's a goalkeeper.
