Real Madrid (old thread)

[Raed]

I actually meant that you never thought of Zidane being an asshole on the pitch without considering the fact of what his emotions are capable to change him into. Players are different in and out of the pitch, very few stay the same on and off. Take Zidane's example - a humble guy, behaves like a true, respected legend off the pitch but then stuff like against Saudi Arabia or Italy happens to him just because he got pissed. Take Ronaldo - professional in training, asshole on the pitch. A lot of people might disagree with me, but IMO even Messi, Casillas (that was actually the case) or Raul (there was a video up on youtube too) are capable of foul language and insult to referees or other players.

True.

But I did not consider using foul language and making a clumsy desperate tackles/kick a player in retaliation as one thing. Then again, what you and Jatin say is correct.

Beast, members on here are one of two things:

1. Terrible at widing people up.
2. Actual softies and/or key board worriors with very thin skin.

The list of bad mouthed players from all around Europe is long, and in the history of every body's favorite team there was a legend who was an absolute asshole yet loved.

I liked Ronaldo's reaction in a way, as well as Pepe's reaction to the goal. I miss provocative fans, I miss provocative celebrations, and just oozing emotion. There is a reason why everyone loves Keane, and loved Romario.

Mourinho perhaps is a bit of an ass and is a bit too much but there is no way any one on this forum loves this sport more so than he does or cares for it as much as he does.

Sporting's fans were a bunch of wild animals supporting their team to the fullest, you could see them smiling after they utter curse words.

To me, this is one of my favorite matches I have ever seen, I will always remember it. This is far from the boring atmosphere and I absolutely love it.

Back to Ronaldo's little gesture after he was tackled, Meta is spot on with the description. But first of all, this is a mediteranian thing as well as Middle Eastern, someone does something stupid, something out of line you sarcastically either clap or smile or wave your hands, it is nothing personal or disrespectful. Everyone does it and it rallies up his team mates. Plus, I want to see him get up the way he did like that everytime, its just aggressive and manly.

Exactly, there is no such thing as a friendly rivalry and if there was, then it is not a rivalry.

To sum up cause members here are turning gay , even between friends swear words are used every-time ..

Lucky you, i'll be a football training :hmm:

 

[Edgarinho10]

Such a shame! Lucky for me I'll be back in town in time to watch!

I'm sure an exception can be made for such an occasion. Take the game for example, because of elections in Catalunya, the game was rescheduled to Monday.

Some shitty commission fighting against violence, racism, xenophobia etc. etc. has appealed to Spanish football commission to ban Preciado and Mourinho for the heat their arguments have risen. If the ban would take effect Mourinho would probably miss the Clasico... The club has declared that they are 'indignant' with the commission's request to Spanish league commission to take action against Mourinho.

WTF ?! You gotta be kidding me !

"Some teams make it easier for Barcelona to win" = "Mourinho is a scoundrel, I would sit him down right next to our ultras" ?

 

[FCBarca]

Why are you surprised?...Mourinho is a notorious figure whenever it comes to sporstmanship - which he clearly lacks...His act may work elsewhere but I suspect Spain will get tired of it quicker than others

 

[ricknattery]

Wolfe I thnik it's really obvious what Mourninho implied with that statement, and YES it is offensive, as offensive as Preciado's statement. Stop acting like the crappy journalists from Marca and reconsider the image of your avatar...

 

[El Gato]

Dude, this news isn't only on Marca so screw that argument. Want me to post the links from other newspaper or something ? It's a general news. If something is posted in the same manner it can't be manipulative.

The official site of Real Madrid has released the statement with regards of the whole issue and it is 100% right that they are trying to withstand their ground. It doesn't matter whether Mourinho implied it or didn't imply it in his statement, not a single sentence came out of his mouth that it is specifically Gijon who allow Barca to win.

Besides that, what's not true about what Mourinho said when applied to Sporting ? Gijon used 7 reserve players in their match against Barca, it definitely IS called making it easier for you to win, because reserves are not better than starters and especially not when they are just told to go out there without chemistry, having played together for weeks and all that. If Mou states the truth then there is nothing Preciado can do about it, if he chooses to throw shit over Mourinho just, because he felt offended by something that was said in general and coincidentally could be applied to his team then it's his fault nobody else's and it's him who should be punished which is exactly what Valdano and the club are saying.

The commission and whoever bribed those lawyers to do these requests can go to hell.

 

[ricknattery]

Who the hell mourinho is to talk about other teams formations? Madrid or Barca don't change formations when they have important games coming or when they have already won the league?
It's simple as this: Mourinho is a coach and offended another coach. Lack of profesionalism.
Don't try to manipulate the situation by following Marca(and Valdano) who try to make Mourinho as a victim when he clearly is the coach who incites violence and confrontation as part of his "plan" to win. Or at least change the image of your avatar if you are going to do that
