Suddenly, we’re kind of panicking on Ricky’s behalf. Can you imagine how one man is expected to change Real Madrid’s policies overnight? Or if you count Greaseano - make it two. This scene is reminiscent of Zizou’s arrival eight years ago and the fact that he went on to great heights with Los Blancos is a comforting thought.
