Relax...no Benitez and Ramos Beef. Simply Another case of Click-Bait
People are just bored I guess.
I heard a headline reading that "There's trouble in Madrid."
Reading that headline you would at least assume that there had been a either rocket-launcher drawn at the Madrid training ground or a nuclear bomb was about to be set off. The last thing you would think of reading was a player disagreeing with the tactics involved in a match that was drawn...not lost.
Ramos wasn't happy Madrid were not attacking enough against Atletico as well as Benzema coming off when they were still narrowly ahead by one goal. That is it. He didn't poke fun at Benitez's diet, or his beard or even for his lack of hair. Just simply that he felt the tactics were wrong. Oh, and can I also add that he is captain of the team and it is his responsibility and duty to voice his concern. The only thing he did wrong was saying it in public, which should never be done. So that's unprofessional on his part.
How do people now take that and assume there's now trouble at Madrid, or there is any beef between
Ramos and Benitez. Need I also remind people that Madrid are still unbeaten and are looking very good as a team. If they were near the bottom, then perhaps you could run with such a story to fuel the fire. But no, Madrid are still very much in the title hunt, although it was a huge opportunity to go clear at the top where Barcelona had their asses handed to them by Sevilla.
And can I also mention that the dude that came out to criticize Benitez, is the same clown that gave away a penalty in the match. To his fortune, it was saved by the very impressive Navas, but when you've made such a big mistake in a match, you really should keep your mouth shut and focus on the next game. If anyone is doing their job well, it's Benitez. Benzema perhaps should have stayed on, but erm...wasn't a certain Portuguese fellow whose only claim to fame is scoring lots of goals still on the pitch?
