No offense but the style you guys have played with this season is anything but beautiful football.

How so? The only teams this season that have played beautiful football is Arsenal in the beginning part of the season and us in flashes from last season. Ibra's personality (although much improved) and mixed performances by a few of us have prevented us from continuing beautiful football week in and week out. Next season Ibra should be completely in check so we can flow consistently again.
You guys score a lot of goals and yes some of them are nice, but the neurotic personalities and egos stand in the way of the synergy needed to create beautiful football imo. A lot of goals have been created off individual brilliance or impulsive team play that is anything but beautiful. Perhaps next season with some improved team dynamic.

well, tbh...with mourinho alledgedly demanding to be in full controle of all sporting matters and you saying the decision is 50/50 within the club, i think mourinho's demands are way too high and will result in him being snubbed.
as for kaká, i'm still of the opinion, that his lack of form is basically tactics related: using him bad and not giving him enough help from the deeper lying midfielders. IMO pellegrini has all he needs

momo acting as a pure DM and xabi alonso acting less as a DM and more as an deep lying organizer, which is if i remember right, what real madrid bought him for in the begining. he wasn't supposed to be another DM. and kaká can play upfront as a mix of a playmaker with lots of goals and a second striker.
compare it to capellos result oriented football and to schusters failure to bring back beautifull football the years after and you'll sure notice that reals football got much more beautiful than before.
not to meantion that this season, more beautiful goal were scored than conceded!!!

I have watched almost every game, Gio.You clearly didn't watch plenty of our games ...
just because teams don't play 4-3-3 doesn't mean they don't play beautiful footballfor quite a long period of this season Real played brilliantly and not just about goals but the overall game..
I would say your team is headed in the right direction and so long as Pelligrini stays and gets time to perfect his system, things will only improve. Changing management would be to the detriment of the club imho.
"More beautiful" and "beautiful" are two different levels altogether. Joga Bonito is sacred and the term "beautiful" should not be thrown around loosely. I have seen enough RM games to know that the skill and potential are clearly there, but that your team is also troubled by an overly anxious fan base and lead-footed management staff that make it their point to instill fear rather than focus on teamwork.

Pepe there is more to beautiful football than short passing triangles for build up ..
Real use more direct approach and it's a different school , beautiful football means the level of enjoyment in the game and for me those 3-2's games like Seville entertain me a lot more than a 4-1 abuse of Malaga

Visca el filòsof!
You're exciting Gio, but not beautiful to watch. It's more car crash football with the mystery of how you're going to manage to come back from the initial ineptitude to win the game.

That is true, Real have played some beautiful football, but the only game I can remember they have played consistently beautiful during the whole match was against Villareal in Santiago Bernabeu. I have seen like 70% of their games and mainly they play beautiful for 30 min, normally on the second half after they are down on the score. Real manage to score 3 goals during that time but the other 60 min they seem to be disconnected from the game and even dominated by their rival. That's why I think Pellegrini is not as good as many people believe, the main reason for those people is to look at the stadistics in La Liga (golas and points) but the reason is that Barcelona and Real are many steps above from the rest of teams. So I don't believe its Pellegrini's success as it is from the players he has. I think the other options Madrid had for coaches at the beggining of the season would have done the same and especially they would have gone further in Copa del Rey and CL. I agree its important the stability, but that's when you know that your players and coach have the potencial of improving. I don't see how Pellegrini could make it better than Cappello or Rafa Benitez. Pellegrini couldn't get Real Madrid to play as a team or have a defined style. The main idea for the attack is throw balls to Higuain or pass the ball to Ronaldo and let them solve our problems. That doesn't show much of Pellegrini's job in an entire season. I don't see potencial for improve in him

I Strongly believes that Benzema will stay, and im pretty sure that he is in Mourinho's plans
i hope he goes to United, he could be a real success there, i liked the Chubster at Lyon, i still like him, but hes been awful this year...
Benzema, a player who like others in the past snubbing United for a supposedly bigger club, well that's what said to have happened anyway, has been under united scouting radar for a few years, maybe they will go back for him again or maybe with Berbatov promising to run the extra yard having retired international football to revitalize with United will rule it out.

Benzema stop defending Benzema man ... he was not good this season period
unless he prove his worth somehow in the pre-season his future lies elsewhere
anyhow El presidente has assured AS in his interview that Higuain backed by his performance this season will be staying (which is more or less why i read the interview )
