Real Madrid have won their first match of the season albeit a friendly one, by 4-1. Good news is that 4 goals were scored by 4 different players and two of them were Real Madrid top guns in Ronaldo and Benzema. The other two were two young castilla players who have just been promoted to the senior Real Madrid team.
More good news is that Kaka got some minutes and made an assist as well. Mourinho looked pretty pleased with the way Real Madrid played this match and got the win. Mourinho though did say that he did not care about the win, all he wanted to achieve was some team chemistry.
Real Madrid players ran like bulls last night and as Ronaldo said the other day, it was all down to the tough training Mourinho is having them on. Mourinho also remarked about Coentrao’s fine debut with the winger also getting an assist with the Benzema headed goal.
Beckham must have been disappointed to see his former team Real Madrid beat the heck out of his current team LA Galaxy but then again, what else did anyone expect. I mean, Real Madrid spend like millions and millions each year to have a start studded squad. There are not many teams who stand a chance of winning against this Real Madrid team playing at their full potential.
Cristiano Ronaldo also remarked about his goal and said that it was an ok goal. I am sure most of you have seen the goal and it was anything but ok. It was awesome. Ronaldo said that the result of the team mattered more to him than his goals.
Jose Callejon also got on the score sheet though with some luck as his shot was clearly deflected by David Beckham which sent the ball into his own goal. Better luck next time Beckham.
Well, Callejon will be at Real Madrid till 2016 if he honors his contract so, it is going to be interesting to see what becomes of him in the future. Looks a solid player though.
Another young Real Madrid gun Sergio Canales has said that he will look for another club if he will not get another chance to play first team football at Real Madrid. Canales said that he preferred to stay in Spain rather than move abroad.
Canales has been linked with clubs such as Aston Villa, Everton, Queens Park Rangers and Roma, but La Liga outfits Valencia and Villarreal seem to have a better chance of signing the 20 year old. I think he will either stay in Spain or will go to Roma because of its reputation. I don’t think Canales will be a huge loss.
He is good on the ball but it remains to be seen if he can match the level of football that is required at Real Madrid. I think a loan deal or a buy back deal would fit the bill nicely for Real Madrid and Canales.
And how can there be any news without Barcelona trying to back stab Real Madrid. Barcelona have entered the race to sign Neymar even though the player himself said that he wanted to play for Real Madrid. Barcelona are prepared to pay 50 million euros for the kid which is 5 million euros more than what Real Madrid agreed to pay Santos.
Santos now wants to give Neymar a new contract which would further increase his value and the deal is predicted to cost about 65 million euros to Real Madrid or Barcelona in the future as Santos and Neymar himself have made it clear that the player can only move after Club World Cup and not before that.
What do you guys thought about Real Madrid’s performance against LA Galaxy? Did Kaka look good, I think he did pretty good.
