Lol I didn't saw any difference . Depo kept on attacking , found spaces , i am expecting a ucl humiliation by A random European giant. Bale and Benzema scoring goals getting subbed, what was the difference ???
Sometimes you just can't teach people to understand the tactics & formation of the game... they just stick to obvious stats like Benzema getting subbed (which didn't happen )
Against any team playing Real you will always find space, winning the CL we left a lot of space too ... we are not the famous AC Milan with Nesta-Maldini & Stam and Pirlo-Gattuso marching our backline... nor are we Chelsea at their heights... the best way is to play to your strength using the power you have & it never was the defense ..
As for the difference.. like i said you can't teach people to understand tactics.. but here is a hint out of so many hints maybe it will help
You still can't sense the difference ?
Great insight Beast, thanks.
Tell me, what is Ronaldo's place in this Madrid, and in next year's? Leaving or staying? What are the politics of it?
Your welcome dear, the politics is one of the reasons Perez was so hung out on making Bale work .. as it stands at the moment selling Ronaldo in the summer won't cause Perez any trouble and that's what matter to him since he is walking on thin ice.. the more Ronaldo keeps deteriorating the easier for him to be offloaded and cut Mendez upper hand .. something Perez was never fond off
It should have been last summer but coming out empty doesn't help.. the replacement is set in the form of Hazard.. all Perez needs now is for Bale to deliver consistency and i believe Zidane is pushing this deal to go through.. he needs Hazard more than Ronaldo
If Madrid have any sense they will offload Ronaldo for a good price. Ronaldo is still a big name but is fading fast.
Agreed
Beast, what is wrong with being an introvert?
Good for you, I hope he is not going to be too successful.
Nothing

except you need to be more outspoken ... thankfully the players don't have this issue because they either played beside him (Ramos ) seen how he is idol'd for a long time (Marcelo & co ) or dealt with him with Jose or Carlo (the rest of them ) .. part of the reason why they asked Perez for him in particular ..
you can sense him in the press room.. he is a little shy on the outside ( contrary to what he is among friends and with himself ) he didn't do any presser when he coached Castilla.. in a way the spotlight doesn't attract him at all
Occurs to me, how is Zidane's Spanish? Is it at least better than Gareth Bale's?
Man , Zizou lived in Madrid permanently since 2001 , that's 15 years.. you get the hang of any language after 2-3 years (except if you are Tevez )
his sons go to school in Madrid & they play in Real Madrid youth teams..he speaks Spanish fluently of course
