Pellegrini: "A player like Ronaldo doesn't deserve it to be sent off."

I just read this in the newspaper, is he serious?

 

[MinaFCB]

lol @ Pellegrini
so without Kaka and CR against Valencia?lovely,great chance to drop some points

great performance by cristiano yesterday. too bad he didn't score that great header...btw what a miss by higuain in that occasion.

good to see albiol scoring...will do his confidence good. especially after his unlucky bad clearance directly to lucho who scored.

damn, marcelo is so frustrating...he's got the moves, worldclass at times, but he's just so damn wastefull. what a brilliant move past the defenders and inside the box, but what an amateur finish...that was a 1 on 1 like 5-6m away from the goal and he doesn't even manage to shoot the ball on target :sad: add to that, that he loses far too many balls with his dribblings.
fortunatly, the kid is still very young. if he can sort out these things, he'll be great.

as for the CL KO-stage...i have a very bad feeling about meeting bayern next!!! as the top of the group, real can't face any english team (which excludes the possibility of meeting manu now (beasts wish)).

Bayern can blow hot & cold... if Negativo Negativo get his act together they can punish us especially that it will be Arbeloa-Ramos vs Ribery-Robben .

but they are probably slower than our current team and that's a big plus

There could be some tasty draw encounters like playing Inter or something but a lot depend on today results

 

[Nándor]

could be...but given reals record in germany and the last matchup with bayern, i'm really not happy to meet them again. especially this season, where bayern are unpredictable, like real...throughout the matchdays you can find several fuckups and several good performances. barely any pattern, that's hard to judge thus you don't really know what you get.

what did/do you think about marcelo??? doesn't he frustrate you too at times with all his bad decisions & dribblings??? i hope he can sort that out and mature his game.

 

[Beast]

Marcelo is playing non-stop and need some rest to recover his stamina and composure.
I think he is runs more than any other player we have and cover more distance than any other player.. it surely affects his concentration especially when he plays every 3 days but he doesn't frustrate me , work horse like him give something to the other teams to worry about and space for his team mates

 

[Nándor]

yeah he is a pain in the ass for the opponents...if only he could fix losing the ball that much and his crap finishing.

i was also wondering, am i the only one who thinks ramos hasn't developed/improved much since arriving??? don't get me wrong, i really like him and think he's very good, but i can't see much of improvement. for instance: is crosses were shit and still are shit

btw, real is again linked with juan manuel vargas...firenzeviola.it "confirm" that madrid have made an offer and that the first contacts have been taken place. the offer is rumoured to be around 15m €

Ramos miss Capello guidance , no one got the best out of him as Capello for one reason ,Capelleo is one of the best in improving players tactical and individual skills. since Capello no one bothered to improve Ramos as a player and surely it made his progress halt

He looks a lot better after he scored lately .. last night he was great as well

 

[Nándor]

lately he's great indeed...but IMO that's what's in him anyway, thus it's rather a matter of form and not improvement. i guess your right about capellos ability to improve players and the conclusion with ramos. it's actually a shame, since he is such a great player and could be even better.

He was a little off in the beginning of the season but for the past few weeks he has been very good in my books considering he has to do a lot of work on his own on the right side when C Ronaldo is roaming elsewhere.

As for Marcelo god I love him. Espn I think it was made a little clip after the match with his highlights and some of the things he did which went unnoticed were just fantastic. He has more duties than anyone else on the field having to attack and cover at the same time but I love his energy and winning mentality. A little fragile under pressure but this is all new to him but the mere fact that he is getting in there is a big plus, and I am sure once he nets one in and matures a little with a midfield like Ronaldo, Kaka, and Marcelo we will have a scoring midfield that is better than Figo, Zizo and Beckham.

I've always rated Marcelo, felt he was underrated by many even though he's one of the hardest workers in the Real team.

 

[Esteve]

Massive Sigh! Marcelo is the Real Madrid player I dislike most. Such a horrible little bastard. Also can't defend. You and I are now enemies, Jordan. Also because you're against the return of Jordi.

You never ever support your arguments by any footballing maters, you just say he cannot defend which is irrelevant to the position he plays, or it is not his prime duty. Plus what makes you think he cannot defend? Defending from midfield is different from defending in the back line.

 

[Esteve]

I've seen him play left full, as you have I'm sure. That's enough for both of us to know he can't defend. It's hardly a point to be argued. It's beyond me how anyone rates Marcelo. Just pure madness.
