Not only Ronaldo who played against Copehangen. Bale, Modric, Alonso.

But Ancelotti benched his most important player - Di Maria, because the match was unimportant
That's using your logic.

Ayagayagayo hei Ayagayagayo

Lmao!

That was after Khedira got injured. And you could be right because it was only Di Maria who could display as much energy as the injured Khedira in the midfield for Madrid during the particular time.

But prior to Dec, Di Maria was never in contention! He was omitted for 3 straight matches! I remembered vividly at that particular time because of how awful he was on the wings and a lot of Madrid fans couldn't wait for January to sell off his ass. In fact, the return of Bale put a final nail in the coffin for him and it wasn't a coincidence he was omitted for 3 consecutive straight matches before Khedira's injury paved way for him. I was even praying we wouldn't sign him in January because of how awful he was playing on the wing and we happened to be rumoured among the clubs vying for his signature.

elampiro:

The fact remains that Di Maria started over 90% of the matches when Kheidera was fit from August to November ending.

If you say Bale was poor or just arrived, then 'a poor Di Maria' shouldn't get into the starting line up ahead of Modric and Isco. But he did which means he was not poor.


Good night!

elampiro:


You don't make sense.

You said Di Maria was playing awfully in November. So why was he not sold in January as you claim?

The injury to Kheidera almost considered with the return to the team by Alonso. So find another excuse. If Di Maria was awful as you claim, the coach would have played two man midfield, then play Isco behind Benzema.

Hello?

elampiro:
30th November, Di Maria, Alonso and Modric were all rested against Seville.

But Kagawa thinks Di Maria was dropped.

Kagawa10:


Alonso had been unfit for weeks prior to the Sevilla match and he didn't even play the Barca match. Modric on the other hand found it difficult to play Alonso role alongside Khedira, hence why Illaramendi had to be chosen over him in the deeplying no 6 role with Khedira as the "energizer".

I hardly take you serious because instead of you to admit you know nothing about a team or admit to never watching them play apart from the CL, you would keep bringing up stupid stat without knowing what happened to the team!

elampiro:


I have never taken you serious because you are just a sterotype.

Was it not me who told you Alonso just returned? Modric was also rested along Di Maria. The coach rested his key midfielders.

It was clear that Di Maria was over used in September and October. When there was a full house in November, the coach adopted a rotation system to allow some players to rest. But Di Maria still had much time because of who he was for the team.

For your information, after Kheidera left, Isco was opted into the rotation system. For instance, Isco started against Osasuna on 14th December whike Di Maria started the next match against Valencia away. Di Maria was probably given a rest against Osasuna ahead of Valencia.


You no know ball.

Kagawa10:
The funny thing is Di Maria wasn't even considered as first choice in the position. Bale was often used as a SS but when Madrid midfield was becoming more vulnerable and with Bale often coming in and out of the squad due to his fitness, Isco was tried in the role however Isco couldn't muster enough energetic display like Khedira often does. It was after all these, Di Maria given a try in the said role.

The same Di maria whom Madrid considered selling off in January and he already met with PSG until luck smiled on him is what Elampiro wants me to believe he was fantastic throughout that season.

Kagawa10:


If you had followed the discussion well, you would notice I already stated Isco was the first option before Khedira in the midfield at the start of the season but he couldn't play the energetic role. However, Ancelotti had no option than to go back to him once again after Khedira got injured.

This was one of my previous post.

elampiro:


Isco and Khedira actually started the very first match of the season with Di Maria on the bench. But from second match, Di Maria became the first starter in that midfield.

I have checked virtually all the matches from August to December. League and cup matches.

I need to go to bed now.

KingJeremy:
U guys will quarrel well after the match tomorrow when Blackburn Bleep Man U. Thank God my team won today

elampiro:


So you think Kagawa10 is even making sense? Then you need to check yourself.

Kagawa10 said Di Maria was benched at the beginning of the season. When I proved him wrong, he said it was when Kheidera injured that Di Maria was used. Then I showed him Di Maria and Kheidera played together, then he brought the issue of Bale.

This was Di Maria who played when Modric was benched. Di Maria was selected in big UCL fixtures in group games and the knockout stages.

It's getting stale and inconsequential.

Why not debate on something that concerns, than argue bout a player who now play for a different club. BTW, whats the benefit of this arguement!?

Technically speaking, there's no benefit other than feeding the ego of those involved ..... Maybe Di Maria made enemies during his time playing for us and they cant bear to see him succeed again especially in a competition we aint playing ........

On a more important issue, anyone noticed that we still have a chance of lifting treble this season

Kagawa10:


Ozil played as well. Doesn't mean anything.

Ancellotti tried everyone in their position in order to judge them himself. Ozil played as a no 10, Isco on the wing like he did at Malaga, Khedira in midfield etc.

But everyone and his dog already knows Ancelotti preference for a 3-man midfield and it wasn't long when he started to mould Isco into a box-box but when he couldn't, he had to settle on Khedira who's actually a natural in the said role although less technical than Isco..

Anyway, all I'm pointing to you is the fact that Di Maria was awful on the wing and everytime Bale was fit enough, he replaced Di Maria except for when Ronaldo had a suspension or played as a striker which was against Valladoid and Barca respectively. Afterwards, he was lucky to have a permanent space opened up for him in the midfield after Khedira got injured as well as Isco finding it it difficult to stake his claim.

PietroRico:
the fact is he was not all that good in his last season, the late season surge that culminated in the motm at the world Cup is what is making everything look good.

PietroRico:

There's no new point to make about di Maria that I haven't already made many months ago.
You have fun with Mr kagawaw
