Real United

Things at Real Madrid are starting to get back to normal. Mourinho's team has begun to show its best in the last two games against Valencia. Particularly in last Sunday's Spanish league match during which the 'Blancos' side once again showed its whirlwind form of last season.

Why now and not before? Why has this response come once the league is lost? These are the questions being asked by Real Madrid fans. This new Madrid was, in the main, the result of unity in the dressing room. The players have been the ones that have decided to take the bull by the horns and call an end to the bad feeling and negative dynamic which was blocking and sinking the record-breaking team.

Real Madrid's players have decided that the time has come to put an end to the controversy and to focus on playing, bringing back the happy atmosphere that characterised them last season. Therefore, even incidents like that between Mourinho and Cristiano a week ago have taken a back seat in the dressing room.

Unity brings strength and, from the Real Madrid dressing room, a second version of "Together we can" has been created which delivered such good results for 'Los Blancos' in the 2006/2007 season when it made up six points on Barça and won la Liga.
