Where Do Real Madrid go From Here?
March 18, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Real Madrid are in the quarter finals of the Champions League where they face Galatasaray. Real Madrid is also 13 points behind Barcelona int he league (probably the reason why Mourinho played Kaka,Ozil,Ronaldo,Benzema,Higuain and Modric together in the attacking third) and Real Madrid also play Atletico Madrid in the final of Copa Del Ray. What does this bode for Mourinho? Where do Real Madrid go from here?. Real Madrid certainly cannot win the league. We should be able to reach the semi finals of the Champions League, where Real Madrid might face Barcelona. Next couple of months could define Mourinho's career at Real Madrid. What do you guys think? Is there a way Real Madrid can call the season 2012-2013 a success? Would Mourinho get sacked regardless of the result he manages to achieve this season? HALA MADRID!!!! … [Read more...]

Milan Shows Barcelona the Ugly Side of Football.
February 21, 2013 By 1 Comment
Forget about the tikki takka football, today Milan showed Barcelona how to win games by being lethal in attack and tenacious in defense. Barcelona played Milan at the San Siro and let me just say in the beginning that the atmosphere in the ground was just electrifying. From Barcelona’s perspective, Messi knew he was in for a tough night at the Italian capital. Barcelona started the game in typical style having a possession of 100 percent for the entire 1st minute of the game. Barcelona attacked in the early minutes with a lot of pace with some neat quick passes. Milan was looked like playing for the counter attack from the first minute of the game. Messi as usual was being hacked down the second he received the ball. Barcelona kept on milking the passes while Milan players kept on chasing the ball. There was a time when the entire Barcelona defense was standing in front of the half way line and to be honest that was just embarrassing to see a home team defending so … [Read more...]
3 Reasons Why Sergio Ramos is Great to Watch
January 12, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Sergio Ramos just got red carded midweek for the 15nth time in his young career. That is more than any other player I know, certainly any other player who has played for Real Madrid. You name a player and Ramos has beaten that player for the amount of red cards that he has received. He has beaten Keane, Vieira, Cantona, Zidane etc etc. He has beaten everybody and that too at the tender age of 26 I think. By the time Sergio Ramos is done he would be the greatest in the list of red carded players. Anyway, no matter how loose is his temper, nobody can deny the fact that he is amongst the top 3 right backs in the world. There are very few defenders if any who are as complete as this guy is as a right back and as a center back as well. Here are my 3 reasons why Ramos is just great to watch: … [Read more...]
3 Reasons why Ronaldo is the Best Player in the World
January 11, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Now I know Messi just won the prize for the fourth straight year and Ronaldo came in a distant second. This is one case (of many) where democracy sucks. I mean, there has to be another way. Ronaldo performed brilliantly with a young Real Madrid team last season and I don’t know why most people did not choose him to be the best player of the past season. If you are talking about class then obviously Messi is the best. Messi would win the prize for the next 10 years further if the award was given on who is the best player in the world potential wise. But then again, so would had Ronaldinho. He was always and may be still is cut above the rest when it comes to skill and potential on a football field. Generally the award has always been given to the player who has won the most titles in a given season. That is the sole reason why Henry did not win a single player of the year award. Arsenal did not win anything big but he kept on scoring goal after goal. Did it do him any benefit? No. … [Read more...]
3 Reasons Why Kaka is Still the Best Midfielder in this Real Madrid side.
January 9, 2013 By 5 Comments
When you talk about midfielders in the Real Madrid squad you think about players such as Alonso, Khedira, Essien, Ozil and may be even Coentrao. I want to argue that despite the presence of Ronaldo and Di Maria on both wings, Kaka is still the best midfielder in the squad. Though he has not seen much playing time and is probably past his peak, he can still make a difference in any given match. Mourinho does not trust Kaka and that makes things a bit complicated for him. I don’t know if Kaka is going to play another game for Real Madrid as reports say that Real Madrid is looking for a buyer to get rid of Kaka. AC Milan and PSG look to be the front runners but you can never say for sure. Kaka has said time and time again that he wants to stay at Real Madrid and prove his worth, so we know that Kaka does not want to leave. The important thing to know is if Mourinho wants him to leave or not. I don’t know the reason why Mourinho continues to just ignore Kaka. Here are the reasons why … [Read more...]
3 Reasons Why Ozil is Great to Watch
January 7, 2013 By 1 Comment
Ozil is the play maker in the current Real Madrid setup. He is currently competing for his place with players such as Kaka and may be even Alonso. Here are the 3 reasons why I think it is just great to watch Ozil on a football pitch regardless of whether he scores a hat trick of goals or a hat trick of assists in a given football match: … [Read more...]
3 Reasons Why Khedira is Great to Watch

When it comes to players who are attractive to watch plying their trades in different leagues of the world, Khedira is a name that most would not dare take. Khedira is a defensive midfield player and because of that he does not get much media attention. Naturally people tend to think that attacking players is there is to the game of football. Nothing could be further from the truth as there is a method and a lot of hard work in what Khedira does on a football pitch. Its about time we give every player a share of the limelight as these defensive players work just as hard as Ronaldo’s and Messi’s of this world. Here are my 3 reasons why it is just great to watch Khedira play on a football pitch: … [Read more...]
Why Mourinho is going to leave Real Madrid
January 4, 2013 By 1 Comment
Why Mourinho is going to leave Real Madrid Mourinho has not had the greatest run of his managerial career at Real Madrid. He came to Real Madrid with high expectations and he delivered to some extent. At Real Madrid that is never enough. People wanted more from him, something special, something which had not had been done for a long time at Real Madrid. Humiliation of Barcelona precisely and that was something Mourinho could not do and probably will never do. That is the reason that even after winning a trophy in his every season at Real Madrid he still is on the verge of being sacked. That is something which was never thought possible. A manager as good as Mourinho had not even come close to being sacked before Real Madrid.It was always the opposite with Mourinho as clubs asked him not to leave but he always left. Things work a little differently at Real Madrid where winning is never enough, winning with style is sometimes not enough either. Nothing is enough at Real Madrid and … [Read more...]
