Real Madrid (old thread)

[Beast]

I think we have a more complex task to blend in Ibra then Inter has. U are blinded by numbers.
We always played the same style and predictable game -> only creativity and speed could change that.
We played as 1 organism with eto o part of it. Now every team knows to play against us, defending wise.
With Ibra our whole tactics change. We loose pressure up front, we loose speed, we loose "clinical" stuff.
This makes it hard to break down a defense. When we play Ibra as target man the whole team has to think differently, something difficult to do if u play in 1 constant way for the whole previous years.

Inter has new players yes but they have the advantage the opposition also dont know what to expect..the unpredictability.
And if they are quality players they dont need to click to score alot of goals -> look at galacticos.
When they learn to play together (which will come over time) they can improve. Mourinho has also lots of possibilites left to play or try with his new team. We don't.

I thought the whole argument of getting Ibra instead of Eto'o is for you to be UNPREDICTABLE ?

Inter tactics used to be give the ball to Ibra and hope for the best *under Mourinho * now they need to create and change style as well cause they have pure strikers without creators .
everything you say defending the change in your game falls into Inter defense cause they had Ibra dependency in the last 2 years .

Edmilson was the same with us for a long while, it's not all that impressive anymore because any player that leaves Lyon and wins a title or two elsewhere is given that stat alongside their name. That aside, I can't stand M. Diarra, he's a thug.

don't compare Edmilson with Diarra please, Diarra is a regular starter Edmilson is a stand in

When we won the 2 league titles Edmilson was a regular starter.

Absolutely right. Gio you know that Inter would have beaten you hands down.

No Ibra was bought to have a physical presence against physical teams while having the technic to hold onto the ball or strike.

Inter needs creator for their strikers? Do u teach Kaka how to play the ball to his strikers in RM? Creators have creativity you dont teach at this level. The strikers need to know how to become free in front of goal. The only thing the creators has to know is how and when they like the ball.

Its not like u have a midtable team where you have to figure out great tactics to survive. Inter mostly can rely on quality (bought) players with experience. It wont be a head cracker to get good results.
With Barca the pressure is much higher : every team know how to play us now and they will fight hard against the champions.

This thread is starting to light up. The Clasico will be a disaster for this thread (this year)!

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

We should make a bet with Gio that if he loses the Classico then he has to post in a special thread marked 'Loser' and only that thread for a month.

absolutely not , he was a squad player rotating with Marquez (who played as a DM plenty of times ) Motta, hell even Iniesta,Xavi ..etc in 4 years all Edmilson played was 70 games .

big difference between a regular starter like Messi..etc and Keita . Edmilson was your Keita , while Diarra was a starter all the time

Absolutely right. Gio you know that Inter would have beaten you hands down.

i doubt it, we have plenty of goals scorers you have Le Sulk

cause bought player would fit right in and play as if it's FIFA game right ? but of course that don't apply on Barca.
and every team know how to play Barca 4-3-3 but not Mourinho last year 4-3-1-2 which he played vs you again
forgot that you are the guy who thought Kierrison is still in Barca after a month of his departure

classico is a game of two sides , however our bet for the season is still on or did you back down after you saw le sulk ?

 

[AnfieldEd]

Still think the balance of the team needs some readjustment and I still believe the defence needs a lot of work but it will be interesting seeing how they get on.

 

[Beast]

well time is on our side , we need to be in our best shape by the end of February

 

[Cule Angles]

Why do you call him Le Sulk? That's Anelka, Ibra isn't French.

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

Gio our bet is still very much on. I am also happy to bet that we score more than you in La Liga this year if you like?

 

[AnfieldEd]

Still even in best shape it won't be easy beating the 4 english teams, Barca and the Italian sides in europe. Just one stupid mistake at the back will cost you. Not just you, but every club. One mistake and its bye bye time.

I think Real Madrid currently are the most threatening club to Barcelona in both the CL and La Liga - even more so than the English and Italian clubs. But of course as you so rightly said, matches may hinge around one split second, one mistake, and to avoid that you need chemistry and experience to play as a team. I'll be hoping that Madrid lack that.
