BlueLyon

With Real (probably) changing coach, there are reports that "new Real" will tend to play more attacking, attractive football. 4:3:3 is mentioned with both Modric and Ozil together to be centre of this new play. I dont see Modric comming here anymore...but I would still take him in sec.

Well Modric is also the only player soo far that ripped spain on big tournaments...the game between Croatia and Spain was expample what Modric is capable of. Against Dortmund he was much better than Alonso too.

Fair mate

WEll i would prefer good def, mid and attack rather than great attack and shit def/mid. FOr a great striker, we will spend lot of money, but we need to invest in several areas...

We arent great at the moment either...

GOal last year vs Lyon was superb. Besides he is 24 (25?) and has plenty of time...i dont want him here because he doesnt fit us, but that doesnt mean he isnt good striker...

Its not that, they created simple team, we should create our own. Not stealing from them...after all we have kdb...

So naive...

He wouldnt fit us, but same goes for Falcao...and people still want him.

There is some heavy criticism for Higuain but unfair I think. First, strikers play best when they play regulary. The problem with both, Higuain and Benz is that they dont play regular football at RM. Most important is this: higuain is poacher type striker. Same as Gomez or Falcao. If you think Higuain wont fit us here because he has bad work rate, how come you want Falcao who is similar type of striker? Now you will say he is world class finisher and all, BUT there is little fact. Falcao last year scored 24 goals in 2900min. Higuain scored 22 in 1700min. Just two less in 800min less play time. That is little fact you forget about. And Higuain also had 9 assists, Falcao just 4. Also important, Atletico plays on falcao, Real plays on Ronaldo. In Ronaldo's first season, Higuain played better than Ronaldo himself, scoring more goals than ronaldo too. All until Benzema came season later, Higuain was superb for his age (much better than Lewa for example). To compare Higuain and Falcao this year, well Falcao scored 26 goals in 2600min, Higuain scored 13 goals in 1400min. Given same timing, Higuain would have about two goals less than Falcao. And to say that Real as team was shit this year (compared to last year, basicaly every player was much better last year, from Pipita, Benzema, Casillas, Xabi, Marcelo, Ozil,...) while Atletico was on fire this year and obviously they play on Falcao every game. In season 2009/10 (aged 22) pipita scored 27! goals in just 2300min. Something even Falcao hasnt achieved in given time. Anothee problem for all Real strikers is Ronaldo. Extremely selfish player he is, he was practicaly responsible for loss to Bvb with his silly dribbles and wide shots. He scores goals, but he destroys all team work and strikers are in his shadow. Just saying, put Higuain in Atletico or give him regular time and he will score 25-30 goals every season. He might go missing in big games, but that is because of pressure he gets. He needs to ultimately prove every game so he can keep playing. In big games pressure ie even bigger. But he is young, loyal (never complains) and scores. If Falcao will suceed here, so will Higuain, if not, neither of them will. He will probably leave Real this summer because they will want someone ala Aguerro and they wont keep 3 (+Morata) strikers. I realy feel sorry for Pipita, he clearly loves Real and all, but they will force him to leave, Im sure. And he isnt bad striker at all... At full confidence and regular play, this guy is better than Falcao, mind my words.

Why do you want to steal from Bvb? I realy like the players, but in the end I want them to develop together...

Even luiz is agrresive sometimes. As are other defenders...sure pepe is very special one

We realy had season of epic goals thanks to Luiz, Oscar, Hazard mostly.

Hm I watched Benfica vs Fener and their attack is realy good. Cardozo was beast and their AMs realy fit well together and play fast football. Their defending was questionable at times however... But I see lot of problems for our defenders because of fast passing football that Benfica is playing. Our advantage will be neutral stadium, but if Iva/Luiz/Terry will have bad day, we will be punished for sure. Losing finals makes questions if our team will handle pressure this time or not... I predict goals on both sides with hopefuly us scoring more...

As reported on Real Madrid TV, the following players will not leave Real this summer are: -Marcelo -Benzema -Ronaldo -Ozil -Modric -Alonso -Varane -Khedira -Ramos -Lopez -Casillas --- Di Maria, Higuain, Coentrao, Pepe, Albiol could leave then... Carvajal, Bale and top striker ala Aguerro/Cavani/Falcao will probably join...

Obviously he is.

Just because you are from madrid doesnt make you automaticaly know more than other fans around world. You might watch all games of them, Ramos is great defender. People might laugh at him, but he was main reason along Casillas that brought spain another title. The real joke of defender is Pique. People in spain are quite funny to think that Ramos is joke and Pique is good. You might live in Madrid and know spanish fans better than me, but here (and in most parts of world) Ramos is known as fantastic player. No he isnt worth 50mio. Its you who started that real would want that much...but he is worth 40. Prices are inflated and if we had all positions covered up, but Cb I would take him in sec. But with current problems we have he isnt an option. And just take a realy good look at his game, for once...

Meh its just media bullshit. They spread hate among real players, I bet if you know Mou personaly you cant hate him realy. People at chelsea love him, people at inter and people at Madrid. I remember how Varane jumped to Mou after he scored vs Barca...or Ronaldo,... Media is world shittest thing ever, they made people hate Chelsea, they made people think Real is some wannabe club, they made people think barca is best ever etc. Truth is that we can be very simpatic club, real is still a very passionate club and barca is not best ever. Bayern will prove so if they stay on top for few years that barca was nothing but another superb team, not the best one. Neither will be bayern etc...

Phaha so just that you know there are few things you have no clue about. 1.) He scored brilliant panenka penalty on euros, after this miss. Besides you try to say Ramos is bad just cuz he missed that pen vs Bayern? 2.) Real fans LOVE Ramos. He is currently captain, always plays with heart and he loves Real too. Did you saw how he was crying after loss to bvb? He might be aggresive but so is our Luiz. But both play with passion for clubs and that is why we love Luiz and they love Ramos. 3.) Ramos is world class defender. He was voted as best defender on Euros, gets regulary in team of the year. He is superb leader, scores lot of goals (currently at 49 for Real i think). He is 27 and will do everything for his team to win matches. My second faw team is Real (because of Zidane). And from personal experience people I know (many real fans actualy) will say something like: Pepe is animal but funny guy but Ramos is king. Period. Where did you find they dont like him lol. And Pique, Hummels, Kompany have long road to make same impact at their clubs as Ramos does to Real. Class defender, easily worth 50mio. But there is no way he is leaving, nor should we sign him. There are many areas we need to strenghten, not just CB. Too expensive for us.

Nearly half of Falcaos goals are penalties. He would have around 15 goals without pens... Falcao is more accurate in finishing, but mind that he is 27 and Lewa is 24. Where was Falcao at age 24? Where will be Lewa at age 27? His finishing will imporove with age, he is cheaper and we will have him for much longer time.

To be honest, he is much less agressive this season. You cant argue about that. And he was awesome for Portugal in Euros.

Gotze will probably miss finale because of injury in second leg vs Real. Karma is a bitch, Gotze. Thats for joining rival club and betraying Bvb.

Oh sorry then, I agree with you. Real got it all wrong in first leg. No pressing, shit attitude...it was all wrong then. In second game, they didnt have luck and lost. However, next year Real will surely need a top striker like Cavani/Aguerro and someone like Vidal/Witsel in midfield if they want to win CL. Im realy excited to see who next manager will be and he will probably make Real more spanish again (Carvajal and Isco are mentioned)

Personaly I think that Kdedira made big change too. Dortmund were fast and strong, the main problem of Real was their midfield. After Khedira came in Real was faster and stronger. I feel Alonso shouldnt have started game. He lost many many balls and was realy slow and sloppy in possession. But why should they play counters? I mean yes its their best game, but they needed 3 goals. In counter attack you play very defensively and you need to be very patient and score every chance you get. If Real scored in first half (they were very close) they would win. Unfortunely Higuain was shit and Ronaldo was (if you ask me) the worst player. Losing balls, always trying to dribble instead of quick one-twos. And his finishing was awful. But Real overall should play attacking football. Fast passing. Mou realy didnt suit Real with such defensive style. Hence why some people (mostly spanish) dislike him because they love attacking football.
