The Real Madrid Thread [2005 - 2006]

[WilliamFAlmeida]

whats with Beckham always acting like its the end of the world when he gets hit???

anyway- tomorrow's match seems so exciting! Our team is in good form, R9 is back, and Barca is out...the team's spirit is definately raised!

 

[Nuno]

Amazingly, it's been a while since we played with a true striker up front. I wonder how Ronaldo will affect the team dynamic. My bet is with many goals!!!!

Yeah it was a long time ago...we only played with baptista upfront (wich didnt work) and now our best man is bacckk!

 

[R.9]

Hope Ronie will make a comeback doing what he does best scoring goals.

 

[mega montana]

great to see el capitan back out there

should be awesome if we can work both him and ronnie back in to the lineup, the team is gonna be really potent

i just hope robinho will continue to play a lot

YES!!! Good news on Raul!!

is i guess the lin-up will be:
--------------------Iker------------------
--Cicinho-Woodgate-Mejía-Roberto Carlos-
-----------------Gravesen--------------- (or Pablo?)
------Beckham-Zidane-Guti-Robinho-------
-----------------Ronaldo-----------------
Míchel Salgado RB
Raúl Bravo LB
Helguera CB/DM
Pablo García DM
Baptista ??
Cassano ST

A few Q's:
*When Cassano came on against (insert team name here) did he play as CAM or Striker??
*Where will Raul play when he does get back?
and
*Why do people think that Ibrahimovic will be the next sucsessor(sp?) to Zidane?

I dont think Ronaldo will start, maybe come off as a sub.

For the most part Cassano has played as a Striker.

Raul is not a pure number 9 so he might play in midfield...there will be some problems though as Zidane-Guti are doing well...and so is Robinho. We could just play him up top though.

Beckham-Guti-Zidane-Robinho
------------Raul-------------

Ibra?? AHAHHA Who excatly thinks this??

I very agree with this lineup, Mejia is the most likely one to replace Ramos cause he's the same type of fast CB. If we played Woody + Helguera I don't know whom of them would fix positions in defense.

 

[Seven8]

Why was Ramos not included ?

the moaning/problems for the coach about the places will start as soon as Raul/Ronaldo/Cassano/Baptista/Soldado are fit.

There is noway Caro should "destroy" the good working midfield now, and they need 4 at the back, so that leaves just 1 place upfront.

-> sell Baptista and Ronaldo ( I know I'll get a lot of stick for that one) - that way RM can get some decent money to rebuild/freshen up the squad and gets rid of modey, inuryprone, not really teamworking players even if they are individual class.

As for Ibrahimovic - he's class but he's no CAM he's a striker ffs

I agree that Mejia and Woody should be starting CB's, BTW i heard that Caro might want to rest some players?? anyone else heard about this so it would look like this
-----------Casillas------------
Salgado--Woody-Mejia--Carlos--
-----------Gravesen------------
Cicinho---Guti-Baptista---Robinho
-----------Cassano------------



Anyone else think that he might rest some players and try to get away with it??

Ramos is getting rested ( like some other players might ). You wont be getting a lot of stick from me

 

[Seven8]

hmm and I was looking forward to some quality touches by Zidane and Becks.

Actually the Idea of resting some players is a good Idea, specially with the Cup and the Champions League coming up soon.
La Liga is gone anyway (realisticly) and like that aswell the "bench" players get some action and would moan less (fast)

IMO Woody needs as many games as possible and maybe Robinho shouldn't play 90mins either, same as Guti.

Yea the rest is good, as for the league we still need to go after the second place. Just 1 point behind Valencia.

Well than again i could be wrong about the players being rested but i think Caro will give a rest and for some players its needed.

Real Madrid-Espanyol 20:00 CET

the first Madrid match i can't see in a month!
oh, well..

probable starting line-up:

----------------Casillas-------------
----------Woodgate--Mejía----------
--Cicinho--------------------Carlos--
---------------Gravesen-------------
-----------Baptista--Zidane----------
--Beckham------------------Robinho--
----------------Ronaldo--------------

i don't think Ronie should start. let's pray that it won't be a repeat of when he started directly last time after injury..

Guti gets rested for the Copa semifinal on wednesday.

i agree 100%

sell ronnie now while we can still cash in on him

i'd also add roberto carlos, helguera and salgado on the list to sell as well, we need to get younger/better in those positions

 

[Zidane420]

can anyone give me a live stream for the game or atleast tell me the channel it will be on?

 

[Socrates]

Whoa dont go overboard now

BTW match started here is the actual lineup.
----------------Casillas-------------
----------Woodgate--Mejía----------
--Cicinho--------------------Carlos--
---------------Gravesen-------------
--Beckham-Guti----Zidane----Robinho--
----------------Ronaldo--------------

 

[Zidane420]

please, I'm desperate for some kind of stream. I've been waiting to watch this game all week. I have pplive but I don't know how to get to those channels.

 

[Socrates]

GOAL GUTI, assist to Beckham 1-0

Sorry Zidane420 i cant really help you man, i think its on CCTV5 but i dont use those programs so im not sure how to access that channel. You might want to search for some sites that discuss streams and all.

 

[Seven8]

yeah try CCTV5 I think that's the chanel that sometimes shows football. Can't help you otherwise.

Ronaldo should not play yet - he doesn't look matchfit at all

I agree Cassano looks more matchfit than him. De La Pena just missed a sitter looks like Cicinho coudlnt get up to head it and it fell to De La Pena who mi**** the ball.

Yellow for Gravesen....what the hell was he trying to do? He is playing good though.
