And who's trying to?
Speaking for myself, I wish the history wouldn't be about several goals and 1.5-2 good seasons out of 5-6 or that he didn't try to imply that he can't be criticised because he always gives 100% and his professionalism, commitment or anything else can't ever be questioned. Creating this kind of shield is why he's never endeared himself and if he'd done the same thing in England he'd be criticised the same way, but because it's Madrid the English will always publish anything opposite of Marca without ever looking at his football consistently.
