Real Madrid beat Roma 4-3 in a comeback win, after which Alvaro Benito criticised Jose Mourinho and said Endrick should be in the starting line-up.
Benito's radio analysis
GOAL reported that Benito was analysing the game on "El Larguero" on "Cadena SER" radio. The former Real Madrid player said, "It is a predictable death scenario."
He added: "If things do not change, the same problems will happen again."
His criticism of the performance
Benito said, "It is very difficult to take the ball off opponents who have a great ability to control it, and if you allow your opponents to reach your goal easily, some of them will punish you."
He said, "All professional footballers are capable of running without the ball. Your opponents in Spain and Europe do it too."
Benito said, "If the players in the front line do not do their duties, it will not work against good teams, even with Valverde and Tchouameni there."
He added, "And if there are two or three players not doing their defensive duties, that may affect you in 80% of La Liga matches, but in the Champions League the consequences will be far harsher."
What he said about Endrick
Benito said, "He deserved to play."
He added: "He has great physical strength compared to the few minutes he was given. In 15 minutes, he put in an outstanding display and imposed himself strongly."
Call to start Endrick
Benito said, "Mourinho has a moral duty to put Endrick in the line-up."
