Former Real Madrid right back Michel Salgado has told the club’s official website he believes Los Blancos can dominate world football for the next few years.
As 2014 draws to a close, it is a good time to look back at what has been achieved, but also look forward. This year will go down as one of the golden years in the club’s history, with Carlo Ancelotti guiding the team to success in the Champions League, Copa del Rey, European Super Cup and Club World Cup.
And Salgado, who won two Champions League trophies and four La liga titles in his 10 years at the club, said he believes Los Blancos are set to dominate.
“I see a team that can win everything this year. Winning titles calms the nerves,” he said.
He added: “We hope the team can manage with the physical and mental pace. This is a side that can compete mentally any day of the week. They are prepared to win everything and make history, which would be the case should they win back-to-back Champions Leagues.”
He went on to add that since winning the Decima, there is a more relaxed feel around the club.
“That was the title we were all waiting for, that long awaited Décima which came after so much suffering. I remember we were having a dinner with Roberto Carlos and when Ramos scored we all leapt from our seats. The suffering was worth it in the end. The Décima has really relaxed the club. This team is still being built; it possesses incredible quality and is still so young. This team has five or six years ahead of it.”
