Real Madrid<\/a> have had quite a good start to the 2026-27 season so far, but their performances might not have left the fans too happy. The Merengues have enjoyed four wins in five games across all competitions, but the defeat to Real Betis in La Liga<\/a> has left the fans somewhat wounded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Furthermore, although they got the full three points in a difficult game, Los Blancos\u2019 performance against Inter Milan also left several weaknesses in the team visible<\/a>. In fact, the players also faced boos from their own fans at the Santiago Bernabeu even when they were ahead on the scoreboard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As MARCA<\/a> has reported, Predrag Mijatovic, an individual who knows Real Madrid like few other people do, having been a player for the Merengue team from 1996 to 1999, and then the club\u2019s director of football from 2006 to 2009, analyzed the game against Inter and the team\u2019s shortcomings in an interview with El Larguero.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The former Montenegrin footballer was surprised to see the fans booing their players, and believed the fans\u2019 sentiments were based on recent history:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThey surprised me because we were winning, but it comes from the previous two years. People are already frustrated because we haven\u2019t won trophies in these years, and it takes very little for them to start booing. They are not very happy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, he was clear about what the players need to do:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt is a lack of football, but footballers have to continue with their work despite having the fans against them, and Mourinho is very clear about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Mijatovic could see Jose Mourinho bringing a certain style of play to this Real Madrid team:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s early, but you can see a certain seriousness. Little by little, Mou will achieve what he wants: a solid team, playing as a unit and being lethal whenever they can counterattack\u2026 You have to be patient. You can\u2019t judge them now after just five matches.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, the Montenegrian believed performances need to be improved in the short-term as well:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/svg><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cReal Madrid can improve, but the people are already agitated and protesting. And that will continue until the team shows something different\u2026 Real Madrid does not provide guarantees that they have a team capable of winning La Liga.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The former forward also highlighted a shortcoming in the team:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/svg><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere is still a missing conductor in Real Madrid\u2019s midfield, one who could have been Rodri without any problem, but it wasn\u2019t possible, and they have to find him within the squad.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cYou cannot cry over players who are no longer here and who made history, such as Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. We miss them\u2026 but where do you find players like those two? You have to trust the players who are already here and never compare them with Modric and Toni Kroos.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Predrag Mijatovic has given a convincing analysis of the situation Real Madrid are going through. The fans are clearly clamoring for more, and hopefully, the players will respond by putting in a convincing performance when they take to the pitch for their next match against Rayo Vallecano this Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
