- 1077 - Real Deal Pods: Upgrading The Madrid Machine
When extreme success breeds complacency, even giants need updating. We dive deep into Real Madrid’s organizational structure and why it’s due for an overhaul. From medical modernization to youth development, from recruitment processes to power dynamics - everything’s on the table. We explore why Real Madrid needs system-wide updates: LA FABRICA AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: La Fabrica needs to successfully produce role players for the first team at a much better rate, which would give the first team better injury insurance Why did Raul Asencio not have any prominence at the club until his assist for the first team? Did nobody notice that he was good? Building a true development pipeline requires investing in world-class youth coaches The current pay grade for youth team leads surely isn’t attracting top talents Creating a consistent playing philosophy from academy to first team would help, but is not required MEDICAL AND PERFORMANCE: Modern football demands a complete medical overhaul Why paying top dollar for medical leadership is as crucial as signing stars: players and coaches won’t take a medical guy seriously because their own jobs are on the line. Increasing pay gives the medical leadership more legitimacy and authority. The outdated approach to player health and recovery HUMAN-CENTRIC APPROACH: The unsustainability of having Valverde, Jude and others cover defensive duties for everyone Why burning out your most versatile players isn’t a long-term solution Creating balanced tactical systems that don’t overstress certain players The need for collective defensive responsibility LEADERSHIP EVOLUTION: Florentino’s increasing perfectionism with age How the pursuit of perfection can paradoxically block innovation by making you stick to your old systems The challenge of introducing new paradigms to established leadership Why self-preservation politics grows stronger in aging organizations, and is particularly prevalent at sports teams where everyone is worried about getting fired INSTITUTIONAL INNOVATION: Why sports teams lag behind Fortune 500s in innovation The mismatch between available resources and institutional innovation is large in sports Owners of sports teams typically permit worser standards of execution across the board at the sports team than they do at their own successful companies Innovation happens out of necessity, and usually comes with copying others: rare for a team to adopt an approach purely out of a desire to be ahead unless they copy it from the next team Successful innovation models: Kansas City Chiefs, Golden State Warriors Managing superstar egos while implementing systematic changes The need for a biology-centric leader to innovate going forward Learn more about your ad choices.

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 - 1069 - Is Xabi Alonso Ready For Real Madrid?
While Xabi Alonso’s success at Bayer Leverkusen has created a compelling narrative about his potential return to the Bernabéu, the tactical reality might tell a different story. Alonso’s 2nd full season at Leverkusen has started off rough with the German outfit experiencing 5 draws and a loss in their first 10 Bundesliga games. New central midfield signing Aleix García has, as of November 11th, been benched and not been fully integrated. In this episode, Siddharth Ramsundar is joined by new guest Ardit Karagjyzi (known on twitter as Loconté) to dive deep beyond narratives into Alonso’s coaching philosophy at Leverkusen, analyzing his reliance on physicality and athleticism, his game-state dependent approach, heavy reliance on width and surprising similarities to Carlo Ancelotti’s reactive style. From his width-oriented 3-at-the-back system in possession to his unique usage of players like Xhaka and Boniface, we examine how his tactical setup might translate to Real Madrid’s context. We ponder his current limitations, questioning whether his emphasis on off-ball structure over possession mastery makes him the ideal candidate to lead Los Blancos into their next era. Our guest Ardit presents a detailed critique of Alonso’s tactical approach, highlighting concerns about defensive structure and over-reliance on athleticism, while Sid offers a contrasting perspective on why these elements might actually benefit Madrid. The discussion extends to fascinating comparisons with other potential candidates, such as praising Klopp’s intensity and questioning its toll on players, pondering whether Julian Nagelsmann was hard done at Bayern, while asking whether Alonso’s pressing philosophy might offer advantages over even Zidane’s reliable approach. Through this debate, we examine whether Madrid truly needs a revolutionary change or if Alonso’s evolution of the current system, combined with improved pressing and tactical flexibility, could be the perfect balance for the club’s future. This nuanced analysis goes beyond surface-level narratives to explore what Real Madrid genuinely requires in its next managerial appointment, offering listeners a comprehensive view of one of football’s most intriguing discussions: who should next coach Real Madrid?

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 - 1017 - Has La Liga Declined?
As we move further from the era defined by Ronaldo and Messi’s rivalry, La Liga’s status among Europe’s top 5 leagues gets increasingly questioned by the day. While Real Madrid dominate, win, sign Kylian Mbappes and routinely beat the Premier League’s best to superstar players, the rest of Spain is rarely as cohesive. This episode of the Managing Madrid podcast dives deep into the current state of Spain’s top flight, examining both its recent resurgence since the lows of the pandemic and ongoing challenges. Spain’s Euro victory this summer with a young team made infinitely better by great coaching and enhanced by a cohesive national footballing culture. 2. The dominance of coaches like Arteta and Guardiola in the Premier League 3. Spain’s overall European record even in a ‘down spell’ these past 4 years. All these things illustrate how Spanish football’s culture remains utterly dominant in world football. However, the lack of purchasing power relative to the Premier League creates issues as well. Special guest La Liga Systems is here to defend Spanish football from its detractors. We explore the league’s financial health (cost controls, profitability), innovative tactical approaches, and an exciting new generation of talent emerging from club academies. At the same time, we critically assess issues like diminishing purchasing power relative to the Premier League, the struggle to retain rising stars, and the lack of high quality strikers. From Girona’s progressive model to Real Madrid’s enduring European dominance, we analyze the teams that are likely to move the needle for La Liga’s stature going forward. We also discuss the focus on youth development thanks to cost controls, evolving coaching philosophies, and how the league’s culture remains mature relative to peers in Europe. Join us for an nuanced look at whether La Liga has declined or simply transformed, as we weigh its current strengths against the golden age of the 2010s. This episode offers valuable insights for fans, analysts, and anyone interested in the trajectory of one of world football’s most storied leagues. VIDEO: Did you enjoy this podcast?

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 - 1001 - Kroos, Xavi and Pirlo: Historical Deep Dive
CHICAGO PODCAST TICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/managing-madrid-podcast-live-in-chicago-tickets-928527198847 NEW YORK PODCAST TICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/managing-madrid-podcast-live-in-new-york-city-tickets-924744574917?aff=oddtdtcreator Toni Kroos has hung up his boots, and the football world now grapples with a pressing question: Where does he stand in the pantheon of midfield greats? As Real Madrid fans, we’re naturally inclined to crown him as the best ever in his position. But what do impartial scouts say? How would an all-seeing football deity, privy to every match ever played, judge Kroos’s legacy? In our latest podcast episode, we tackle this monumental task head-on. We’re joined by scout and technical football methodologist Kannan A. who brings a unique, expert perspective to dissect the careers of three midfield maestros: Toni Kroos, Xavi Hernández, and Andrea Pirlo. This isn’t your typical surface-level, armchair analysis. We dive deep into the tactical and technical aspects of their games, employing rigorous methodology to evaluate their contributions. Our goal is to differentiate between their innate talents and their tangible impact on the pitch. We meticulously compare their peaks, overall careers, and ultimately, their places in football history. Attached is the comparison sheet seen on YouTube: Kroos Xavi Pirlo Scouting Comparison Sheet.pdf The Real Deal is a small Managing Madrid spinoff show that hosts podcasts that go up on our Spotify feed.
