2 Reasons why the defeat to Barcelona is not a big blow

December 4, 2010 By 6 Comments
Santiago Bernabeu, real madrids home

Real Madrid lost 0-5 to Barcelona at the Camp Nou. To many people Barcelona humiliated Real Madrid. Mauled Real Madrid. Destroyed Real Madrid. Not to me and not to Jose Mourinho. As from his interview after the game, he also said that Real Madrid lost but not humiliated. Real Madrid were at their worst when they faced Barcelona, who were at the absolute best. Add to that , poor performances individually by the likes of Ronaldo, Pepe and Sergio Ramos and there you have it, a 5-0 scoreline that no team deserves. Anyway, much has been made about what happened a on monday. People have formed opinions and lots of opinions. From theleaguebeing over to the utter destruction of the image of the club due to the mauling handed by Barcelona and the misconduct of Jose Mourinho in the game against Ajax in UEFA Champions League. But here are 2 reasons why any of that is of little importance. Despite the fact that we lost 5-0, had we even lost 10-0, Barcelona is and would have remained just … [Read more...]

5 Reasons Barcelona did not Maul Real Madrid

November 30, 2010 By 10 Comments
Messi after scoring a goal

Let me just start of by saying that Barcelona put up a great performance against Real Madrid and the score line does say that they murdered Real Madrid that night. Barcelona showcased some magic touch football and the performance was so good, it will serve as one for the ages. Defeating Jose Mourinho's side so easily is no easy feet but I feel that this time was an exception. Barcelona played well but the mistakes in Real Madrid made Barcelona look heavenly. So dwell not Real Madrid fans. I truly believe that Real Madrid are not as far away from Barcelona as the scoreline suggests and as in the past years, Barcelona has again just edged us. They do not make any stupid mistakes and keep working hard to get the ball back and that is where they really really beat us. Without taking any credit away from Barcelona who thrashed Real Madrid in many people's eyes, I think the teams are much closer to each other than the scoreline suggested because of the following reasons: Real Madrid … [Read more...]

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Who will win

November 28, 2010 By 8 Comments

A real title decider for Real Madrid and Barcelona I think. I am going to make this post short and sweet. For me, whoever wins this match is going to have a big advantage when it comes to winning the league as well. Real Madrid are playing away from home so that automatically gives Barcelona the advantage. The result of this match I think depends on two players. Ronaldo and Messi. I do think that if Benzema plays, he can make some difference but apparently Jose Mourinho still does not trust the lad. May be due to his work ethic which I admit is a bit questionable. Real Madrid's only chance of finally getting a win over Barcelona will come down to two things. Stopping Messi from making those diagonal runs from the midfield into the penalty area and closing down Xavi and Iniesta as quickly as possibleandnot allowing them to settle them on the ball. For once, just to be different, I would have loved to see Diarra and Lassana Diarra pair up in the midfield for this match. But that … [Read more...]

Should Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso be punished?

November 27, 2010 By 1 Comment
Xabi Alonso playing for Real Madrid at the Bernabeu

I know there has been a lot of talk about whether what Real Madrid did in the game against Ajax a few days ago should be punished or not. I will tell you my take on this a little later but let just analyze what they actually did and what they didn't. To start off, they did not cheat. Sergio Ramos and Xabi alonso along with Jose Mourinho just took advantage of a loophole in the system. May be it is cheating but relatively speaking it is not or at least it is not from the looks of other matches that we see where this is happening all the time but obviously, not in that obvious manner. Yeah. It is happening all the time. We see it all the time especially in the Champions League and in the minor domestic league cups. Players get themselves booked intentionally to stay out of playing a low rank match like a league cup match against Ipswich Town or something. On the other side, players dogetthemselves booked in order to have a clean record going into the next round of an important … [Read more...]

Messi Vs Ronaldo Who is really better?

November 16, 2010 By 65 Comments
Messi celebrating in his orginal style

I am reading a lot of articles about who is better between Ronaldo and Messi. Obviously, this has been a long debate and no useful conclusion has ever been drawn. Before I begin the comparison, let us just state the assumptions so that everybody starts on the same level, i.e, that everybody is on the same page. The assumptions I will be making when comparing Ronaldo and Messi for the season 2010-2011 so far are# Both are great players and probably two of the best of their generation so if someone (for example Borris Becker) proves that one player is better than the other one, this does not mean that the other player (ie Messi or Ronaldo) are poor players. They are still better than the rest of the world. We are talking "relatively" here. Both are at that stage of their career where most of their skills on the ball are perfect so we are not going to go into the debate of whether Messi is faster or Ronaldo. With that out of the way let us begin our analysis. The first … [Read more...]

Mourinho finally gets the Ban.

November 13, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Real Madrid coach Real Madrid giving some orders

It was pretty inevitable I guess. Mourinho has never been the sort of person who keeps his emotions to himself. He is pretty straight forward about the type of person he is and about the ideas that he carries which in itself is a good thing but not when you express the ideas the way Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho does. Apparently he got the ban because of his less than respectful attitude towards the referee in a Copa Del Ray match which Real Madrid won 5-1 just the other day, I think it was against Real Murcia and finally Real Madrid have progressed in the Spanish Cup. For the last 6 years Real Madrid have been constantly putting on disappointing performances in the Champions League andtheCopa Del Ray tournaments. The Spanish Football Authority also stated that the kind of vocabulary Jose Mourinho used to address the referee was less than ideal and they deemed it punishable to set an example. Anyway, Mourinho has been handed a two match ban which means that he will not be … [Read more...]

Diarra’s Situation with Real Madrid

November 2, 2010 By 3 Comments
A group of Real Madrid players running

If there is one player I would not like to see leave Real Madrid then after Cristiano Ronaldo that is Lassana Diarra. How is he being even considered to be sold is out of my comprehension abilities. I mean, the guy has virtually performed in every match he has played. He is a fantastic defensive midfielder but again there is the problem of over staffing on part of Real Madrid. We have too many players for that position. Gago, Khedira, Alonso, Grenaro and Diarra along with Lassana Diarra are all players that play in the position. Obviously only two of them can play in any given match and that is where the problem lies. At least 2 of them have to leave. All are world class players and are worthy of playing for Real Madrid and this is where I think Real Madrid should be more considerate when they go on a rampage of signing the world's best players. We get too many playersandend up selling them for nothing after a year or so. I would not sell Lassana Diarra for any price. I think he is … [Read more...]

AC Milan vs Real Madrid

November 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Big match coming up in the UEFA Champions League for Real Madrid. Big match not in the traditional sense but in the sense that a win at San Siro would really boost Real Madrid's chances of going into the knockout stages with big confidence. Real Madrid will surely get through to the knockout stages after group stages I think. I think we need a point or two to make sure that we progress to the next round. That is something Real Madrid has done for ages, but it is the knockout stages where Real Madrid have been struggling for the past 6 years now. We have not gone past the knockout stages into the 2nd round for that many years now, this is really unacceptable for a club as big as Real Madrid and I think it is one of the main reasons Jose Mourinho has been broughtin andgiven immense amount of money to buy any player that he thinks Real Madrid would need to make sure that it goes through to the next round. Therefore, just to get our form going I think it is vital that we at least … [Read more...]

One look at this guy and you would think he has not slept since he got the news of Real Madrid being interested in him. His stay so far has been perfect I would say. After the injury to Kaka, it was never going to be easy for him to play in his position. And he has fullfilled his position's responsibilitiessowell that now we are hearing talks about Kaka leaving Real Madrid. It is so sad that Real Madrid always manage to gather so much super talent in one squad and that always leads to players like Figo, Robinho and now Kaka … [Read more...]
