Real Madrid 1-2 AS Roma(05-March-2008)
Now I know why schuster was coaching getafe before coming to real madrid. Basically he is a stupid coach, who does not have any champions league experience at all and just tries to act like a tactition. Well, I am very disappointed with real madrid’s performance in the champions league against roma. Now after losing to Roma in the champions league and getting knocked out of last 16 for the fourth consecutive year has definitely hampered real madrid’s reputation as a champions league team.
Now the rumors say that real madrid are looking to replace schuster with none other than jose mourinho regardless of what schuster achieves at the end of the season, which by the way, I feel is totally justified, considering the amount of money schuster has spent in the transfer market. Schuster tactics may look entertaining but it has a deep flaw in it. I dont know what that flaw is but you get this feeling when you see real madrid loosing to menial teams.
Anyway, one positive to come out of that match is that raul is one his scoring form this season. He scored the only goal for real madrid at the 76 minute mark which equalized the scoreline after roma had taken the lead, in the 73rd minute through teddai’s header. Sloppy defending is the least I can say about the first goal real madrid conceded. Roma struck again at the end of the game, again the goal coming from a header. Real madrid is and has been for all this season a soft team when it comes to defending aerial balls. Anyway, vucinic scored on the 90nth minute marked. I definetely would have wanted Iker Casillas to come out of his area and deal with that, as the header came from just outside the 6 yard box. Had it been cech standing over there, vucinic could not had scored from a free header.
Roma defended well, as all teams try to do when they play at the bernabeau and real madrid was not able to break them down nor did real madrid manage to step up the pace of the game so that they could catch roma off guard. Maybe luck was not on real madrid’s side that day, but I don’t give a damn to luck or anything. Luck or no luck, as a real madrid fan I want results, whether it be capello or mourinho style.
