why he never said anything about Real Madrid, where he was paid for years even if he didnt play: do not bite the hand that feeds you. Because it is only an act of courtesy to respect the fact of "not discussing anything in public" Because a captain cant say his team isnt good enough and then expect the team to listen to him. Because in his "dry" and "injured" years there was (as Homey said around here) also lack of ambition, but then all of a sudden because you are the hot shot you start pointing fingers that were already there. I could go on and on, but what I am trying to say has nothing to do with the fact that it was the truth, but the fact that it was not to be said by him, as captain, in public.
