Real Madrid (‎Los Blancos) | Special Thread

[Aleyn]

Naishauri Madrid isiweke mkazo sana ktk Game ya kesho, kwa wachezaji wake majeruhi wasilazimishwe wacheze kesho.

Game ya kesho haina umuhimu kama UEFA next week, wekeni mioyo yenu UEFA maana huko mnaweza mkaeka hazina, unakomaa LA LIGA wakati kuibeba huwezi, kombe lishaondoka. Akili, mawazo, mioyo iende kwa UEFA, kesho komaeni kikawaida ili msitie aibu tuu lakini sio kwenda kupambana kufa kupona kwa Madrid hii ya msimu huu.

Ramos: I don't know if tomorrow's clasico will be a game of goalkeepers or attackers. I hope our attackers will take the show.

Deco: "I would sign Luka Modric for Barcelona. His style of play would be a perfect fit. He's like Xavi & Iniesta, their style is similar."

Zidane: "We will focus like we have to focus. Let the rest think whether it will be an easy match or not, but beating Real Madrid won't be easy. I want to see a good football match and I want to see my team getting the win. We're here to win every match, we will do our best to win."

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane spelled out why this El Clasico contest was so important:

El Clasico?

"We have prepared well, are in a good moment and we will see 'BBC' shine against Barcelona, I will sleep peacefully on Friday night and enjoy my first El Clasico as a coach."

"We will focus like we have to focus. Let the rest think whether it will be an easy match or not, but beating Real Madrid won't be easy. I want to see a good football match and I want to see my team getting the win. We're here to win every match, we will do our best to win,"

Importance of victory?

"You know how it works here, this game is only worth winning, I understand because I've been a player and know the demands of the club."

"I'm not thinking about what we are going to win at the end (of this season), the important thing is to keep working well and we will see. Something positive can happen."

Previous 4-0 defeat under Benitez?

"Yes, I've seen it because I analyse games - but I've not talked about it with the players."

Rotations before Champions League fixture against Wolfsburg?

"For me, the most important game is the match on Saturday. We'll look at Wednesday's game after the Clasico and I'll put the best team out. Rotations will always be important, right up to the season finale."

James unhappiness at lack of minutes?

"Neither James or anyone accepts being on the bench but he knows he is important for this team. He is happy here, but when you're not going to play it's difficult for a player."

"It's normal to be upset. I have to make the decisions and I'll take them always thinking about the good of the team"

Carlo Ancelotti comparing Real's XI to Catalans' XI :

Claudio Bravo vs Keylor Navas: Draw. Both are playing very well this season although it’s true that Navas might be more important than Bravo for his team.

Dani Alves vs Dani Carvajal: Draw. Both are very good when attacking and need to be more careful with the space they leave behind, especially Alves.

Pique vs Pepe: Pique. Pique’s performances this season have been excellent, he’s always concentrated and taking the right decisions. Pepe’s quickness and talent are important too.

Mascherano vs Sergio Ramos: Ramos. Mascherano knows how to play well as a central-defender even though he did not play there when his career was starting. Ramos is the heart and soul of Real and is always a decisive player in these matches.

Jordi Alba vs Marcelo: Marcelo. They have similar roles in their teams and their offensive contribution is great, but Marcelo is more important for Real Madrid.

Busquets vs Casemiro: Busquets. Sergio Busquets is definitely one of the world’s greatest midfielders and he has great tactical awareness. Casemiro is not as decisive but he has improved a lot lately.

Rakitic vs Kroos: Rakitic. Rakitic’s form has been unbelievable and his contribution to Barcelona has been great both mentally and physically. Kroos is a very important player but he has not reached Rakitic’s level just yet.

Iniesta v Modric: Draw. Both of them are two of the greatest midfielders. They can handle every match and they make their teammates better.

Neymar vs Bale: Neymar. His growth as a player has been impressive. Bale is also a decisive player but he’s missed many games due to injuries. Right now Neymar’s a better player.

Suarez vs Benzema: Draw. They are different. Suarez is a pure striker born to score and his mobility is capable of creating a lot of danger. Benzema is playing well too but he should have scored more. It’s a hard choice.

Messi vs Ronaldo: Draw. What can I say? The two greatest players and both of them are in great form.

Mateo Kovacic and Alvaro Arbeloa have been cut from the squad on technical grounds as 19 men are called up by Zinedine Zidane for the trip to Camp Nou.

Arbeloas contract expires in the summer so it's understandable.. But Kovacic was only signed last year, is this the beginning of the end for his career at Madrid already?
