WTF are Valdano and Perez doing over there?

Look at their squad for the CL
http://www.uefa.com/Competitions/UCL/Clubs/Club=50051/index.html

That defense is a joke, and they have no good defensive midfielders now. Helguera cant play both :p
Pavon is mediocre, dont try to say otherwise.
After Guti, Solari and maybe Portillo the rest of the squad are all unexperienced players essentially. After a few injuries, and we know there will be some, who will play? Can they rotate the squad well enough to keep the players away from injury and still get results?

RM may have a few of the best players in the world, but they are not near the best team in Europe. Juve, Milan, Inter, Bayern, Man Utd, and even Chelsea have better squads IMO. I put them at par now with Arsanal, Lazio and Roma....good teams but they all are missing quality sqaud depth.

Who's Riki? :crazyboy:

And their best defender is actually, Roberto Carlos!

Hahaha..

Others are SO INEXPERIENCED.. Other than Salgado and Carlos, the defenders are all below 23! And Helguera? Is he gonna be a defender or midfielder?

ask the opposition if they want to meet Real instead of "Juve, Milan, Inter, Bayern, Man Utd, and even Chelsea".

They will never say yes.

Madrid is the standard.
They had a weaker defence last year, because Hierro was there, removing him, strengthens the team.
Some of you act as if Madrid were beaten in the first round last year, they lost away from home to a decent football team, Juventus, and they had reasonable excuses for that defeat.
I repeat again, they won the league and got to the CLsemi, with a weaker defence than they have now, it is simply illogical to place them behind a team they embarassed, ManU, and any other team for that matter.

Bet there's going to be lots of goals at both ends in Real matches. I'm not a fan of Helguera when he plays at the back, although he's excellent in midfield. We'll just have to wait and see how their defence performs. Pavon, however, will most probably develop as a player if he gets to play week in week out.

Real Madrid will always be feared even though they concede goals.... they must score more goals which are easy to them..... I dun understand them selling Makelele..... they will just get knocked out around QF stage....

You guys all make me laugh.

Real Madrid got rid of their *WORST* defender in Fernado Hierro, because anybody who watched him last year could tell he regressed dramatically and was a major liability on the pitch.

Just because a team decides to go younger doesn't mean they got worse. The defense is *IMPROVED* over last season, simply because Pavon is better than Hierro. Helguera moving to the defensive midfield spot will now not happen, because it was only going to occur if we got Ayala or Metzelder. However, our defense will now look like:

Salgado - Helguera - Pavon - R. Carlos

While it's certainly not amazing, it's certainly not bad. We have two Spanish internationals there and a Brazilian World Cup winner. Oh, and Roberto Carlos just won UEFA Defender of the Year, so he obviously isn't as bad defensively as all you people think.

Anyhow, *REGARDLESS* of how our defense is, absolutely nobody can deny that we have the most intimidating offense in the world.

Beckham - Zidane - Figo
Ronaldo - Raul

Absolutely no club in the world can boast five superstars up front like that, and once the chemistry is there with Beckham joining the club and Figo adjusting to the left side, watch out. Please don't forget that Guti and Solari are extremely capable replacements and many clubs would take them on their starting eleven.

So whatever... keep counting Real Madrid out, but we'll be there when it matters in the Champions League. Don't you worry.

05-09-2003, 06:50:PM
the problem with madrid without makelele is that the team is broken in the middle.. with no real connection between defence and offense.. and no one to recuperate balls in the midfield.. if they dont find a good replacement for Makelele.. Madrid is gonna suffer

05-09-2003, 07:22:PM
real didnt focus on what they really needed DEFENSIVE PLAYERS! all they got was beckham which is ok but there are way better mid fielders than he is......we can just say that he was bought by real because hes a celeberty and a soccer player......anywho they wont suck but they will have to play alot harder and they wont be the giants of soccer since there are teams just as good as the (or even better) exept that they have celebertys playing soccer........thats about it

IceBlu
05-09-2003, 08:33:PM
thats what i've been saying all along. Of course they are weaker than last year !

hahaha ! i can't wait for the CL to start...looking at their roster, its hard to imagine how they will ever manage to keep a clean sheet...and with just 2 good strikers...theres not much up front either.

If Raul or Zidane get injured / suspended...lol....they are soooo screwed...

early exit coming up..

tottiiii
05-09-2003, 08:37:PM
they got the best midfield in the world though as well as the best strike partnership....they could and should of signed some defenders but they didnt....i guess we will see what happens....although they need the DMF...Cambiasso cant be expected to replace Makelele totally....i think they can win the CL again...but they are not the favorites....any thing that Juve plays in they will be the favorites...there team is pretty incredible and so is that coach they have

Dream Team
05-09-2003, 08:37:PM
Madrid will suffer a lot. Salgado, Helguera, Pavón and R. Carlos can do good their work... best of them is Salgado. But when any of their is injured... uffff TERRIBLE :)

Now Helguera is injured for 15days and they are trembling :D

And the middle is broken without Makelele.

Madrid will suffer a lot... a lot... :wootman: :wootman: :wootman:

05-09-2003, 08:47:PM
well I think they really are weaker...and all because of Beckham, not saying that he isnt good but he just isnt needed for Madrid! The team was well as it was last season or three seasons before..
And Pavon isnt a bad defender, a lot of teams would want Pavon as a defender, and Helguera too..also Helguera is a better def.midfielder than a defender :)

Hendrik
05-09-2003, 08:52:PM
They should've bought at least one good defender. Pavon is talented, but you can't put him into your team when your midflielders are Becks, Figo and Zidane. :rolleyes:

northstar
05-09-2003, 09:04:PM
Madrids first team is decent, but there is ALWAYS injuries and suspensions. Imagine Both Pavon and Helguera being injured or suspended.....hah. Helguera is actually hurt right now.

If things go bad we could see RM not even qualify for CL next year

Losing Makalele is just dumb. IMO he was theire MVP.

Madrid's team is too unbalanced

antithesis
05-09-2003, 09:29:PM
All of a sudden Makalele is a footballing GOD, where were those arguments last year?

For much of the season Madrid played with two central midfielders, Makalele and Flavio, so let's not champion Makalele as their best player, when they(Madrid) didn't think he could handle the responsibility on his own.

Juventus: not the same Juventus who got their tails kicked by ****ty ManU, a team who's manager(Sir Alex) thought weren't good enough in the CL.
Where was Juve's defence.

Milan: come on, I wont even bother with Milan, that victory last season was like Partizans and Marseilles victory. They played to win and congatulations, but there is not a single non Milan fan on this board who'd pick them to even make the semis.
I bet an idiot says "I will" after this post, and spare me the foolish remarks, we are discussing football here, nothing personal.

Whom else, Bayern?
Yeah right. Their defence is world class.......steupsssssss, and who defends in their midfield again?

I think Chelsea was also mentioned: maybe, but we have nothing to go on. Only Desailly in their defence has sufficient CL experience so I am not sure how they will perform.

The comments are unrealistic, and lets not forget Makalele wanted to leave, and it really is getting boring that Beckham is not a good footballer, because thats just nonsense.

Makelele wanted a pay increase... and madrid said no.. so then he left, and Makelele is not a football god.. but he was basic at Madrid

firstly, Salgado = Crap

Helguera - definitely not a solid Defender

Pavon - Inexperienced

Carlos - not a defender...

so there you have it....no defense.



Attack -

Figo - has lost it.

Beckham - Average

Zidane - Great

Raul - great

Ronaldo - Good

....if Raul or ronaldo get injured Guti steps in. If Zidane gets injured the Midfield looks so much weaker.

the likes of Portillo, Solari and Riki are all half baked.... lets not forget that solari was supposed to be offloaded too...which means Madrid don't have complete faith in him

buying beckham is probably the worst decision ever.

Ooooo... Madrid... I'm shaking in my boots..:mrpimp: I think that Madrid will be solid because of their midfield. If you win the midfield battle, you wont have to worry about losing the ball much, therefore you dont have to involve the defenders most. No matter what their defense looks like they still are one of the best teams in the world though. Your best defense is your attack. One thing though, I think they'll have trouble against organized teams. Teams that get many men behind the ball and then strike on the counter attack.

05-09-2003, 11:37:PM
beckham's not a bad player and he's not "average". i've said it before, he's overrated because of his hype, but he's so overrated that he's underrated. dunno if that makes sense but people tend to forget that he actually is a good player.

and del piero doesn't "suck" either.

i'd agree that real are weaker than last year, with the loss of makelele being most significant. zidane and the rest of the attackers will tell you how important makelele is to them as he'll do all the dirty work for them. they lost a lot of depth too. anyways, it's still too early to say who'll win the cl, but now i think if there's any advantage, it's towards juventus.

Anywayz back to the main point IMO Real Madrid have dug themself into a bigger hole, IMO Valdano paid to much time thinking about money then he actually thought about the team, IMO Real Madrid as a whole is a joke... sure they have the best offense in the world, and sure u may say that offense wins games, well remember this... defense wins titles and IMO Real Madrid are screwed:crazyboy: also they really lack numbers, I mean seriously, if Real Madrid lose 3 players they are screwed... anywayz IMO Real Madrid definately have the worst defense out of the best clubs in Europe and I"m sure it is gonna cost them...

the way i see it, the only problem with having so many offensive players is that none of them are really ball winners and none of them are really great defenders or tacklers. someone's gonna have to win balls and supply it to them. someone said it before, but i can see real having a lot of trouble with those organized teams that just stay back, defend, and wait for a counter attack.

the reason why Juve beat Madrid is because they play as a team, and Madrid doesnt.. they havent played as a team in years.. and they still dont.. and yes they have a lot of offense firepower.. but the team is broken in the middle because they dont have any defensive midfielders.

And Casillas is a good better than avg goalie, but is not the best in the world, as a matter of fact in all the lower categories of the spanish national team the Bilbao goalkeeper was the starter while Casillas sat on the bench.. but Casillas plays for Madrid and he got his opportunity earlier..

I don't think Madrid is going to win it this year, they will only make it to the second group stage. Their defence isn't good, Roma got 5 times better defence this season than Real.

Chivu + Samuel (H)

Don't Real wish to have that kind of center defenders, they could of bought Chivu if they didn't buy that "woman" Beckham. He would of cost two times cheaper.

Madrid is the standard.
They had a weaker defence last year, because Hierro was there, removing him, strengthens the team.
Some of you act as if Madrid were beaten in the first round last year, they lost away from home to a decent football team, Juventus, and they had reasonable excuses for that defeat.
I repeat again, they won the league and got to the CLsemi, with a weaker defence than they have now, it is simply illogical to place them behind a team they embarassed, ManU, and any other team for that matter.


I agree with you there Anti.


Ko_totti i think Beckham is a very good buy, i dont understand why people always bash him....sure he looks like a girl but if there is someone out there who doesnt think he is a good player, they must be ****ed in the head.

Second, i think people are over rating Chivu.:rolleyes: You cant expect him to be the one person to pick up the whole defence and carry it on his back, its no doubt he has great skill, but he was amazing at Ajax because he had a number of other "good" to "better" defenders to support him. He can however be that extra bit of energy a team needs. :( :( Damn Ajax should have never let Chivu leave, we sold Mido and VDM we didnt need the cash....

I think at the moment Real Madrid is becoming a retirement home for star players , Beckham , Zidane and Figo are all over the hill and planning on retiring after finishing their career with Madrid , In a few years time Madrid will have to replace their midfield as well as rebuild their defence.


This is he worst post on the thread
how are you gonaa tell me this

Figo is ot of his prime but is still good
Zidane is at the endof his prime bnut he is still the best
Beckham is 28 PERIOD

and i hope you were not meaning raul and ronaldo
because thy arein their mid 20's

I can't read it. :( Madrid won't get him for 15m Euro's anyway, if they declinded an offer for Chelsea, I doubt they will sell him for only 15m Euro. :crazyboy:

the Juve president satys he is almost certain Davids will leave on a free-transferat the end of the season

Bring in Edgar Davids to stabilize Real Madrid

RUSI
06-09-2003, 05:10:PM
He would be a great fit at Real

Chelsea have like 15 defnsive mids, they dont need more

Too Bad if they got him he cant play in the CL

There should bea transfer window in the CL:mrpimp: :mrpimp:

Why get Davids when you clearly don't need him.

Madrid need atleast 1 defender.

RUSI
06-09-2003, 05:28:PM
They need a defensive mid also

Cambiasso is not ready to start for them (too young)

they also need a defender but if they get Davids, it sure would help them too

Well they should put hElguera on Makeleles position, and then just put Pavon and Ruben on the defense

...and pray :D

No really its not so bad

RUSI
06-09-2003, 05:38:PM
that is probably their best option b/c Helguera is a better defnssivee mid than defender
but he is still a better defender than ruben and pavon

Davids is getting old, there are younger and better defensive mids

they dont even play on the same side

Beckham has
- the best right footed shot in the world
- the best cross in the world
- best free-kick in the world
- hardest working "star" soccer player in the world

So quit bashing him

Sure he is hyped as the BEST soccer player in the world(which he isnt)
but he is the best at his position

what the...

who's bashing beckham? read any post i've posted here, and i've said nothing but good about becks.

sure they don't play the same position, but someone earlier said "beckham = pires"

so all i'm saying is beckham, AS A PLAYER, is not as good as pires. yea all those qualities you've mentioned are true. yea he does have a killer right foot...the best cross in the world, and the best free kick. but pires also has the ability to use both feet, take his man on, is probably on par defensively, and is just as hard working too. he's a right footed left midfielder...that says something about his skills.

right now, if i was gonna start a team had to choose between the two of them, i'd still take pires. no slight on becks...remember i'm a beckham fan. i think a good majority of the people here would agree with me. nobody's bashing him...don't take everything to heart man.

ps...did you like beckham this much before he went to real?

I mean Ronaldo = RVN?
One can dribble with the ball

calm down...i was just talking in terms of there output on the pitch....maybe the RVN ronaldo thing is off but when scoring goals they are top of the list...or close to it
