Real Madrid (old thread)

It lessen him in everyone eyes . we have to also take into consideration the broad failure of South American managers in Europe .

it's totally different now and the two magic box of Luxemburgo and earlier this season with Pellegrini are evident even though the 4-2-2-2 is very workable in Brazil

i think the perfect coach for real madrid would be a spanish felix magath. to me, he's easily the best coach in germany. he won the league with stuttgart, bayern, !!!wolfburg!!! and is now in his first year at schalke within just 2 points of the leading bayern. it's really amazing what he does with the little source he's got.

the only coach with similar impact on several clubs and not just limited to one country only, is capello. but the main obstacle i guess is not so much about his availability as much as it is about pérez & valdano wanting him. if "reports" are to be believed, these two are only interested in rafa or mourinho respectivly. the rest of the names seem to be made up by MARCA because they are coaches that won the CL.

meanwhile MARCA is throwing on the signing machine again by claiming reals 1st signing will be david silva, with neymar - the so called "brazilian messi" - being followed close by the club. whereas AS has juande ramos on its first page defending pellegrini as the one who's the last to be at fault.

Yeah they say Neymar is the new Messi , shows a video of him taking a PK and if anything he looks like the new Robinho not the new Messi

i won't get drawn into this smoke screen of transfer targets too early

Who said he is the new Messi? that is the stupidest thing i have ever heard they play and act nowhere close to being alike... I rate Neymar very highly tbh and would not like if Madrid got him... HE plays similar to robinho but he will be better if he can get stronger


also i see madrid are trying to wrap up david silva

Yep def. Robinho far far away from Messi , that's how stupid Marca is .

he even have the same slim /fall under challenges of Robinho

if there is anything resemble Messi but still not like him it's Hazard which Zizou is pushing for signing him and i personally prefer him .

Silva is priority based on socio's opinion and the Spanish direction Real is taking under Perez he will be replacing the Ribery transfer

but again it's toooooooooo early , cause they can selected a coach who doesn't use wingers (Mourinho for example ) than what ?

 

[Nándor]

not the "new" but the "brazilian messi"...stupid anyway, unless they refer to his 58kg. it's MARCA, in their headline for the video they have the tag "brazilian messi" only to liken him to robinho in their next article and call him the "new robinho".

some team news...

- raul & metzelder are both out injured for around 3 weeks.
- de la red has been installed a holter the other day and could start some training at valdebebas soon in order to see how his heart reacts. under supervision of the doctors that is of course.

I swear i could work for Marca its like they dont even do research...

hmm i dont want to get into the real madrid coaching debate bc i dont care at all ( You understand)

Madrid signing silva wont bother me to much i dont suppose, as long as they dont get cesc or villa

valdano hinted in yesterdays interview at pérez working on the cantera matter. i guess marcos alonso would be very intersting all things considered.

 

[Beast]

It's beyond my comprehension why he wasn't used as often in a position we lacked solid LB

one of the bad things about Pellegrini even though he gave Granero gazillion minutes

 

[Nándor]

same here...i guess every real coach taking over has some sort of negative aura circeling when it comes down to castilla players. could be that they fear to burn the kids by turning the bernabeu against them as soon as they fail. not to meantion the gab between la liga and third league.

regarding marcos alonso in particular i think it's more about him being way too important for castilla and their goal to get back into segunda. during the winter, marcos alonso had an offer from depor, who wanted him to replace filipe. but the offer was turned down by madrid. general consent was, that the player is much too important for castilla.

i really hope next season he'll join the first team on a permanent basis, without being loaned out.

a player like sarabia could also be usefull on the left wing instead of marcelo or as alternative.

 

[Beast]

The Bernabeu never turn on a Castilla player , they cheer them even if they aren't on the same level as the rest .

 

[Nándor]

whatever it is, there is no denying that coaches are somewhat afraid of playing these kids. they don't want to throw them into a game that's not already won by 3-4 goals with more than 10mins left. must have a reason don't you think???

i mean, it's not like there wouldn't have been a certain need - like marcos alonso at LB or, that there are no players worth giving it a try - IMO sarabia would be worth a try on the left side.

 

[Nándor]

very interesting...while MARCA are back to their anti-pellegrini campain, influencing the results of their poll by not even offering pellegrini as an option, AS have made a poll wether or not real madrid need to change the coach at the end of the season.

15% yes
85% NO!!!

especially interesting is, that the support for pellegrini - at this stage of the poll - is more than he had after crashing out of the CL against lyon!!! in those polls - the ones he himself refered to in an interview - pellegrini had little over 70% support of the madridistas.

 

[Metaphysical]

how tall is marcos alonso?

I saw him come on in a game of yours recently and he looked fucking massive!

I really wouldn't like if you got silva, but I don't think you will. valencia won't sell him (IMO they will sell villa for big money to EPL and build their team around silva, mata and miku).

 

[Nándor]

i have 1,90m in mind meta. he really is massive and has a very strong shot. started as left winger, but ended up at left back - where he feels more comfortable if i remember right.

not sure about david silva...valencia are still in big debt - unless i missed something. they were willed to sell both players last year already and build the team around mata. i guess when the money is right - real offering 25m €, valencia asking for 35m € if MARCA is to be believed - then they will sell him. and david villa as well.
