Real Madrid Puts Players in A Tight Leash

The spanish football club has layed down some new rules for their players. Real Madrid is one of the top clubs in Spain, it has loads of money and the top players in the world. Perhaps in order to maintain this image the clubs president Florentino Pérez has created the new 8 "commandments" which are:
1. Be close to the fans
2. Show respect to the coach, the board, and to the fans
3. put in lots of effort, sacrifice and dedication
4. be on time for all tasks
5. maintain your health, beware of risky situations
6. have order, cannot go out at night to party
7. take care of your image
8. colaborate with the club and the press

To me the most interesting one is to have order. Having seen some players go out at night and put themsleves in an awkward situation such as Ronaldo and Adriano, Floretino has made this rule to prevent this. Also all these rules benefit the players as well, because they can focus more on their football and become better players.

  1. Not being able to go out at night may seem strict, but I think you're right: following all of these rules should make each member of the squad a better play. It should also help Madrid to attract and keep the kind of quality players they need for a strong team.
