Robinho, Van Der Vaart, Ferguson on Real Madrid
Hi everyone,
Sorry for not posting yesterday as I had bouth some xbox 360 games ( Bully:Scholarship Edition and Battlefield:Bad Company) which I had to check whether they worked all right or not so I could not get the time to post yesterday.
Anyway, there are tons of news today and which I would be happy to inform you about as now Ronaldo saga has cooled down but there are some after effects which I do not like for the obvious ( and previously stated) reasons.
First I am going to start with Real Madrid club, as thats the most important and the news is that Robinho wants to leave despite knowing that Ronaldo is staying at Manchester United for at least another year. Robinho says that he has not been valued sufficiently to make him change his mind and the Chelsea money is seriously attracting him (he did’nt say that but its the only thing to be implied from his interview).
Apparently, Robinho is also upset with Real Madrid for not letting him join the Brazil olympic Squad and also for not upgrading his current deal to match what Chelsea is offering him. Real Madrid signed Van Der Vaart few days ago which to some, paved way for Robinho to leave Real Madrid, but I do not think so as I think the signing of Van Der Vaart would not affect Robinho’s situation here at Real Madrid.
Robinho’s competition is with Robben who stays injured for most of the season, so virtually Robinho has a guaranteed place in the first team but Robinho thinks otherwise and does not want to sta anymore after he was planned to be used as a make weight in Ronaldo deal.
Robinho wants to leave Real Madrid for Chelsea
I think Robinho would not be able to perform well at Chelsea, because of his weak build, I would be surprised if he survives the EPL for more than two seasons. He has taken a long time to adjust to La Liga (which is considered close to Brazlian football, but is a bit faster), so one can imagine how long Robinho would take to get settled at Chelsea as the EPL game is completely different to anything Robinho has every played before.
I think at Chelsea he would also have a lot of competition for his place with the likes of Malouda, Joe Cole and Shaun Wright Philips, not to mention Salomon Kalou too. I think it is better if he stays at Real Madrid because Robinho did look like the best player in the world on some occassions last season and I think he is starting to find his feet here at La Liga, a move away not would put Robinho a further two years back and at 24, I think it is about time Robinho comes good to his potential, once touted as the New Pele, Robinho has certainly not lived up to expectations.
Chelsea though, are still not giving up and I think Real Madrid is also not interested in holding on to Robinho with all his antics and stuff. Chelsea have made an official bid for about 19 million pounds and reports say that it’s roughly 5 million off the mark. If Chelsea can find that I think we may not see Robinho in the white jersey next season.
The agent of Robinho has also slammed Real Madrid management, so opening the door to a move to Chelsea for the Brazilian.
Wagner Ribeiro rapped to AS: “Real Madrid does not value Robinho. They only care about Cristiano Ronaldo, Rafael Van der Vaart and David Villa. I’ve spent three days trying to talk with Predrag Mijatovic and there is no communication, not with anyone involved in the football department “
“Robinho feels Madrid does not want him to stay. For Real Madrid, Robinho is their last priority, not like Chelsea.”
OK that does it, kick Robinho out. Yeah, as much as I love his game , he and his mouth piece Wagner have gone off the roof and are really starting to get on my nerves, Robinho is not like a Messi, for whom Real Madrid would bow down. He is a good player and has the potential of becoming as good as Messi, but nobody knows when will that day come if it does come at all. Let him leave if he is so frustrated at Real Madrid.
Van Der Vaart scores his first goal for Real Madrid in a friendly
Moving on to other news, Van Der Vaart has scored his first offical goal for Real Madrid, though it was a crappy goal, he scored it from a free kick. His free kick bounced like a thousand times before deceiving the keeper with all the defelctions it took from the players inside the box, in a friendly match against Independiente Santa Fe on Real Madrid’s tour of Colombia. Van Der Vaart scored one and created one for Pepe in a come from behing victory for Real Madrid 2-1.
I also heard that while Ronaldo may be done with Real Madrid for this season but Ferguson for real, has not had enough yet and took another swipe at Real Madrid by saying:
“As he gets older I think he will appreciate being here more and more ” said Ferguson.
“The longer people stay at this club you tend to not want to leave. Rio Ferdinand is an obvious example of that “
“But really I’m just pleased we have managed to put all this Real Madrid stuff to bed. They know what they are dealing with now.
Ferguson happy that Ronaldo gave Manchester United the thumbs up by snubbing Real Madrid
Ferguson is such a looser, he always tries to take the edge( like by making absurd statements to get the psychological edge) by even the smallest margins and now he just wants to put Real Madrid under pressure by saying this so that Real Madrid would come again next season with even more money while Ferguson would get the chance to value his ace for one more season and if there is a significant drop in form then sell him for like 100 million pounds, good strategy Ferguson but I am sure Real Madrid ain’t that dumb.
One reason why Ronaldo stayed at Manchester United is because Ronaldo wants to show Real Madrid that he has something called loyalty and if he does ever sign for Real Madrid if would not be purely because of money and Real Madrid can expect him to stay loyal to them even if a good offers come after he joins Real Madrid (which never happens actually, Real Madrid is the biggest deal on the planet)
Though Calderon has said that “this ain’t over , tills it’s over”, meaning that Real Madrid would definitely come back for Ronaldo, I just hope Messi moves to Inter Milan so that Real Madrid can buy Messi and get a ready made Greatest Of All Time player in their squad for the next 10 years or so.
My prediction is that Real Madrid will try to sign Ronaldinho from Ac Milan next season. Yeah, I think Ronaldinho cannot perform in Serie A as the defenders there are far too physical than in La Liga , while keeping in the mind the fact that Ronaldinho’s physical strength has got down a notch.
There are so many news, I am just excited how varied there are because for the past month or so , all that I heard was either about Ronaldo or about Calderon. Now we are getting some action though nothing concrete but still, news are news.
Baptista not happy with Real Madrid
Baptista’s hope of joining Roma has also taken a hit as Roma say Real Madrid is demanding too much of a player which Real Madrid did not use last season. That does not mean , Real Madrid would sell him for crackers. I mean , he is a talent, its just that, Real Madrid has Raul and Sneijder at his position which is hard for him. Thats the only reason I can think of, why Real Madrid want to sell him.
UPDATE:
Calderon makes it clear ” Robinho will not leave”
Real Madrid president Ramón Calderón has wasted no time in pouring cold water over reports of Robinho’s proposed move to Chelsea, a story which is heating up by the day and just few hourse ago I thought Robinho would be sold by Real madrid rather than Robinh actually leaving Real Madrid.
Calderon Said:He is definitely going to stay with us. The coach has said he wants him in our team,” Calderón said, in an interview with BBC Radio Five Live.
“We do not see any possibility of him leaving Real Madrid. We know Chelsea are interested in signing him, but he’s one of the best players in our team and we need him for the new season,” the president added.
Robinho’s agent also came out and said “He calls me everyday to find out if anyone has spoken to me about his future and I always have to tell him no one has called,” said Ribeiro.
“His ambition is to become the best player in the world but he won’t achieve that at Madrid because they treat him like a normal player,” he added.
Robinho asks Real Madrid for improved contract or else, he is going to Chelsea
Real Madrid has just begun to get over that Ronaldo saga and in a blink of an eye, Real Madrid has another one on their hands brewing out of their control.
This summer just keeps getting more bore by the day. First the Ronaldo saga held us all up for like a month and now this, I hope it doesn’t last as long as Ronaldo’s did because I want some good news to hear. What happened to news like, Real Madrd in shock move for Barcelona’s Messi or Real Madrid chasing Gerrard and stuff. Why are there so many news relating to a single topic like Ronaldo’s and now Robinho’s.
I am counting the days till the La Liga starts and the transfer window ends.
