Jose Mourinho Breaks his silence

Mourinho giving orders

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho finally broke his silence yesterday. In an interview yesterday the Real Madrid manager said that he would hope that things change rather quickly on the side of UEFA. What obviously he was referring to was his ban and how biased and unfair it was. Jose Mourinho expressed his disappointed in the behavior shown to him by UEFA and apparently will take a case to other authorities. Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho also said that he was looking forward to the next season and he was happy with the attitude of the players this season. But you could clearly see the unsatisfied way he said those things, I think he dearly wanted to win the Champions League or the League this (finished) season with Real Madrid. But obviously he could notdo sobecause of Barcelona being so brilliant this season. By brilliant I just do not mean, in terms of playing the game with a ball but also in every aspect of the word. Brilliant actors and brilliant football players. I have been … [Read more...]

Real Madrid Ronaldo not going anywhere

Crisitano Ronaldo

Manchester City have dismissed reports linking them with Cristiano Ronaldo, branding the rumours 'ill-informed' and 'unfounded'. It had been claimed that the Blues were preparing a record-breaking approach for the Real Madrid forward this summer. A … [Read more...]

3 Reasons Why Barcelona is not as good as you may think

Barcelona not too far ahead of Real Madrid

I know Barcelona have won the La Liga, I know Barcelona were in the final of the Copa Del Ray and I know that they will put on a good show against Manchester United in the finals of the Champions League in about a weeks time. But lets not just get too ahead of ourselves and think of Barcelona as some dream team on level 20 with Real Madrid being the closest to them at level 14. I think it is about Real Madrid at level 19 and Barcelona on level 20. I think this was pretty apparent in the 4 clasico's that were played just a month ago in which Real Madrid played only a single match with 11 men against Barcelona and lost only once to the so called invincible Barcelona in 4 matches even though Real Madrid never really played 11 v 11 against Barcelona. Anyway, it could have been so different for 3 reasons which are: Real Madrid could have easily beaten Barcelona had Raul Albiol not made that stupid mistake in the first of the four clasico's in thesecondhalf of the season. The match … [Read more...]

Real Madrid VS Barcelona – Copa Del Ray Final

ronaldo-messi-final-copa-del-rey-2011

UPDATE: Real Madrid also out witted Barcelona in the Copa Del Ray final but sadly my cable provider could not broadcast that match and hence, it is going to take a little bit before I review that, from what I have seen on youtube, it was little bit the same as in the Clasico two weeks ago. Real Madrid defended well and hit on the counter with Ronaldo scoring a superb header from a cross by Di Maria after he had a great one two pass with Marcelo on the left hand side of the field. What a match it was. Real Madrid vs Barcelona, this time was a very evenly contested match. 1-1 it ended. Messi and Ronaldo scored a penalty each to level the scoreline. It has to be said though that throughout the match Real Madrid defended like seasoned Italians and Barcelona attacked like born Brazillians. Barcelona's tactics in this game were a bit questionable. Messi, most of the time, playedin thecenter of the midfield when his best position is the left flank down the line and that is the position … [Read more...]

Real Madrid vs Barcelona

Daniel Alves and Marcelo playing for the ball

Yes folks. In this very short post I just want to point out that now, for the first time in ages we (real madrid fans) will be able to see Barcelona play Real Madrid about 4 times in one month. I cannot remember when that happened the last time. Real Madrid have already won their quarter final Champions League match with Totennahm 4-0 so that tie is pretty much over. Barcelona have won 5-1 against Shakhtar so that tie is dead too and this all means that Real Madrid will meet Barcelona in the Semi Finals of the Champions League. If that was not enough for anyone then hear this out. Real Madrid will also play Barcelona in the finalsofthe Copa Del Ray and one more match in the league which will be played at the Bernebau. I cannot describe the feeling that I am experiencing right now, just very excited to see what unfolds in four of these matches which are almost certain to take place in the very near future. Real Madrid will be looking to turn the … [Read more...]

Tonight will decide

Jose Mourinho, CSKA vs Inter

Ok. So today is the day. Draws are going to be out by the end of the day for the UEFA Champions League Quarter finals and boy are we all looking forward to them or what. Quite honestly. I think Real Madrid would want to avoid Barcelona and all the other big teams. Yeah, as good as Real Madrid are, I think we need a bit more time to get to the levels of Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona. I think the match against Schalke or Totenahm would be a nice one. That will enable us to go through the semi finals of the champions league after a very long time indeed and at that stage of the tournament anything can happen. Mourinho says that we wants to avoid Chelsea or Inter. Two teams he has coached before so this tells me that the only reason he wants to avoid them is because of his past relationshipswiththe clubs and has nothing to do with sporting issues because if that was the case, I think the number one team that he would want to avoid (in fact every team would want to … [Read more...]

Nothing really

Jose Mourinho giving orders

Ok this one is going to be a quick one as I have to prepare for Real Madrid vs Lyon clash. You know the drill so I will not take the liberty of describing the rituals that we all follow before a big match like this one. News have emerged that Ronaldo might not start and even if he does, he would only be able to play 60 minutes. That means two things. One, Real Madrid is going to need to score first and two, Real Madrid is going to need to score quickly before times runs out and in the end we are left with Adebayor and Benzema so supply us with all that important goal. No offense but Adebayor and Benzema are still not Champions League legends. They do (at least onmostnights) flop in big games and that particularly holds true for Adebayor. If Mourinho signs him permanently come the end of the season, then this would be the biggest mistake that he is going to make at Real Madrid (I am assuming here that Mourinho stays as the head coach for the next season as well). Among other news. … [Read more...]

Can Real Madrid break Lyon?

Real Madrid vs Lyon

Ok guys, this is it. This is the moment we all have been waiting for. Less than 24 hours left for Real Madrid to meet their fate. When you come to think of it, this match is one of the major reasons why Jose Mourinho was signed by Real Madrid. This match is the reason why Ronaldo was bought, why Kaka was bought, why Benzema was bought and why Perez brought in his billions to invest in Real Madrid. Real Madrid hold a slight advantage in the sense that we have an away goal. One lapse in concentration in the first leg cost us a goal which led to a score line of 1-1. At 0-1, with the home leg remaining, Real Madrid would have been the sure favourties to go through but that is thing with Champions League football, you have to be in the zone for 180 minutes otherwise you end up on the loosing side no matter how good you played in certain patches of the game. Good news for Real Madrid must be that our center defensive unitisnow fully fit with Pepe heading the charge. We do need … [Read more...]

Real Madrid gets some luck

Real Madrid vs Barcelona

Real Madrid played their La Liga match on Saturday night against Hercules and won 2-0. A comfortable win with goals from Benzema. That is a good sign as we desperately need someone to score goals when Ronaldo is not playing in the team. Now Real Madrid is all set to face Lyon in the Champions League in a couple of days with all our main players except for Kaka getting some rest and some playing time as well. Real Madrid had cut Barcelona's lead to just 4 points with a win on Saturday albeit with one game more. Barcelona had to win their tough awaymatchagainst Sevilla in order to keep the gap at a mammoth 7 points but they could not. Sevilla put up a brave fight and finally stole some points from Barcelona which obviously has helped Real Madrid indirectly. Barcelona drew their game 1-1 on sunday and hence now lead Real Madrid by 5 points. That is not a mammoth lead … [Read more...]

Remarkable Messi

Lionel Messi of Barcelona, Real Madrid's fiercest rivals

I was looking through some statistics of some of the best attacking players of the past decade and found some pretty interesting statistics. Amongst many surprises, the most shocking one was, who has the best goals to match ratio of the last decade or so. I picked some random names (which are generally the names that pops up in ones head when thinking about best attacking players of the past decade). So lets just dive into them but do keep in mind that even a goal/match ratio difference of 0.1 is considerable. It is not like the amount of goals you have scored, so do not expect the differences to be like in the hundreds or something. Goals/match ratio for some of the best attacking players in the past decade: (along with some of my comments) Lionel Messi (0.67) Cristiano Ronaldo (0.48) (was not really a goal scoring threat in his early days) Ronaldo(o.68).Imaginewhat he would have done had it not been for all those injuries and fitness issues. Thierry Henry(0.51) … [Read more...]
