Real Madrid (‎Los Blancos) | Special Thread

Kweli ile gem tuloshinda 3-2 tulicheza vizuri sana kama ambavyo tulikuwa tukicheza misimu miwili iliyopita. Yes na jana tumejitahidi.
Nafikiri zidane anahitaji muda mpaka january, kama timu itakuwa mbovu bado ndipo maamuzi mengine yafanyike
Kwakweli, naona timu inabadilika kwa sasa. Ukiachana na game ya UCL ambayo nadhani plans za ki mchezo hazikuenda kabisa, game 2 za mwisho kwenye ligi zimekua tofauti ki morali na namna tunavyocheza.
 
Has Real Madrid gone into a decline?

The core team that won 3 in a row consisted of

Keylor Navas.

He was nowhere near the best in the world, not like Neuer or De Gea (in 2014–2017) but he was very, very instrumental, inspiring the team on, making adequate saves and not losing a single KO stage game in the UCL.

Today, Navas has been sold to PSG, which is basically Zidane shooting himself in the spinal cord. Especially that they got Areola as a replacement, don’t expect many clean sheets.

Sergio Ramos

He was a very good captain, leading the team on, breaking up attacks on his own with his violent tackles and excellent marking. Now he is past 30 and after an injury that ruled him out for some time last season, his work rate dropped a little.

Also, on paper Ramos and Varane should still provide an adequate shield despite all that; but a major problem in defensive midfield leads to more attacks from all directions, so it’s harder for them to deal with. Overall, Ramos is still good though.

Raphael Varane

He was an excellent partner of Ramos and his excellent international performance shows, he is still world class. Not much complaint.

Marcelo

He is old and fat now. The end.

Luka Modric

He is old, not fat but he cannot be relied upon; he is 34 and his workrate dropped off a cliff. Today you will be surprised to see him even assisting and even doing anything at all.

Toni Kroos

Yeah, Kroos is no longer world class. His decline is not as far as Modric; I think it was a gradual thing, burning him up slowly as he aged, ever since he was the best player at the World Cup. Now he doesn’t have much left anymore.

Casemiro

He is young, so I think he has not fallen as far as the rest of the squad. Only 27, and there are reasons why he is the starting CDM in Brazil instead of Fabinho. Still, it is undeniable that Real need more Defensive Midfielders like him, as he is the only one right now, it seems.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Gone

Karim Benzema

He is still powerful, no doubt, with similar stats to Luis Suarez the last season, the most consistent attacker and scorer.

Gareth Bale

Madrid will probably only use half of him due to injuries. He is incredibly inconsistent but on his best day he is one world class winger. The past games, against Villareal, PSG, Celta, he was the main attacker and made deep runs down the wing to make crosses or shots. Overall, the vindictive hate of Real fans towards him is not deserved, as he was basically made the main scapegoat for last season. Still, he acted in a relatively mature way - if it was Neymar, he would be begging for a move and throwing stuff at Zidane, while Bale seems to not care much about anything except maybe his paychecks. Still, he won’t be around long…

The core squad back then only has 4.5 members up to standard - Ramos, Varane, Casemiro, Benzema, part of Bale. In defense, attack, midfield, they are a total mess and Zidane does not know what he is doing. Not that anyone would find it an easy task.

So who they signed?

Courtois- The worst keeper who ever played for Real in this century? Most likely.

Mendy, Militao - young untested green boys from Weak Clubs (Porto, Lyon). Surely they will be long term replacements of Ramos, Varane, but what Madrid needed more was reliable wingbacks, so, little impact

James Rodrigues - picked him back from Bayern. I think he is a Bale type player - inconsistent and easy to hate at, and without much impact.He was no good last season for Bayern. Now, he is not a real solution.

Luka Jovic - Has not impressed at all.

Eden Hazard - Supposedly one of the best in the world, but in this squad he does not look a big improvement from Bale and Benzema. Also with recent injuries, weight gain, it seems that there is a serious probability of a terrible first season for the Belgian unless he can pick up his real form again.

Overall, their signings did not work, almost none of them did, except (maybe) Hazard. They ought to spend money wisely.

Bahati mbaya wachambuzi wengi wanajua kutaja mapungufu tu ukiwauliza ni nini kifanyike wanabaki wanajiuma uma, performance ya team yetu inatokana na vitu vingi mojawapo ikiwa ile hari ya kushinda Vikombe, kwahiyo kubadilisha kocha kwasasa haitotusaidia, jambo la msingi ni tuendelee kumwamini Zidane , ninaona msimu mzuri tu. #HalaMadrid
