by going to the team that's far better in quality than the rest of the teams in that league then whenever he's up against a decent team who refuses to lie down and be rolled over or a team that the gap in quality is close he falters. look at the gap in quality between Bayern and the rest of bundesliga. look at the fact that Bayern can sign just about any good player from bundesliga including from their main rivals (Lewandowski, Hummels?). Let's not forget that he took over a Bayern side that's just won the treble the previous season then spent his stint there not even making the final despite almost all conditions being very much in his favour including his adding qualities like Mario Gotze, Lewa and Hummels from their only league rivals who they played the UCL final against.

Then he went to Man City who's spending abilities blow any other team out of the water, he spent a fuckton of money on a team that made the UCL semi final the previous season and hasn't been able to get there since despite all the advantages and worse is he's getting dumped out by teams in his fukking league who he's outspending by a mile, even got dumped out by a Tottenham team who spent a grand total of £0 last summer.

If "Being tactical" means being so stubborn headed to the point of stupidity then Pep is highly tactical. My guy was so tactical he started 3 at the back against Barca's MSN. He's so tactical he took over a Bayern side who used counter attack to tear Barca a new asshole (7-0) the previous season only to get his asshole torn (5-0) by a "less tactical" ancelotti

The biggest mistake you guys are making is assuming a tactically stubborn coach who thinks football should be played one way must be more tactical than one who changes his anyhow he likes or situation demands. Maybe we should go for Bielsa for his stubborn tactical thinking too.

FergieRaww:
we can’t continue with the same midfield from last season and i’ll go insane if i see Lucas in that starting xl tomorrow

madrid5:
Guys do we need pogba?

LordAdamX:
Hey, it's just for entertainment.

Prolly need some considering how rough the last year has been on the thread...

Got to appreciate their commitment tho'. You can't coach that.

A clink to hopefully a better season ahead.

monerozi5590:
I am no CR7 fan but Real Madrid highest goal scorer in CR7 made it happened.


Let's not say further, Zidane will be exposed this season.

My hopes are low. Let's see what he can do without the miracle worker in CR7.

monerozi5590:
You can't win it every year but at least you saw his impact at Juventus. Let's see whether Zidane can win it without CR7.


Between i owe this Madrid recent successes to Mourinho.He laid the ground work.

LordAdamX:
This should be fun...

*grabs popcorn*

@usbcable, Miremoses1; please make space on the couch!

airmark:
Barcelona fan. Most of them are dull like that.

Miremoses1:
just get Van de beek ffs. I have been sending mails to our club email address, telling them how good the lad is and that he will add energy to that midfield

airmark:
So the first goal Madrid scored was after Hazard was substutited right? Who helped with a shot that Nacho tucked in?

I knew you long tine ago to be stupid while arguing football, but i didn't know you would wallow in the stupidity this long.

Vinicius and Odrizola were removed, few minutes later Hazard helped Nacho to score and was substituted immediately, but the morron in you came up with the above highlighted conclusion.

Only spiritual cleansing can rescue you from this foolishness.

madrid5:
The scoreline made me laugh hard,I hope these idiots above don't change this thread from real Madrid to real hazard because of their own petty foolishness especially that mumu dayo.
Any ways I didn't watch the game and can't comment seriously but from I heard atletico could have score 15,what do you guys think is the way out of our defensive foolishness even nacho has declined badly,Ramos is not what he used to be,apart from when casemero is fit, we lack shield in central midfield, kroos is not a DM no matter how many times this nonsense is tried,why we sell illorente again?,lack depth in midfield now,what is the use of isco in a 3-man midfield especially when casemero is not playing?,so zidane still never get tactics?These questions need answers oh.

monerozi5590:
Your Last paragraph got me laughing. Does he look like someone who knows what he is doing?

hoopLA:
Meanwhile it is becoming pretty evident who was bearing up that team.
Cristiano Ronaldo.
Make una go appease that guy.

FBS:
Oh they did wreck havoc and yeah could have been 10 nothing. You can't argue the fact that Atletico's approach was differrent.

Zidane sure knows what to do but that backline is very suspect.

FBS:
On the bright side, e be like say that boy Rodrygo sabi football.

monerozi5590:
You hardly win Leaque in January. To win leaque you've got to start well.


Usbcable, just tell me his pattern, tactics.

LordAdamX:
I think he'd make changes.

After the Arsenal match he said he couldn't defend his players based on the performance.

He is still experimenting with the lineup.

As for Vazquez. All coaches have their favorites who they curiously have burning fascination for. Moreover, Vazquez wasn't on the pitch when the team was pummeled 5:0 in the first half.

We all know Zidane's teams are all about offensive output; because they're always liabilities at the back. The concern now is that the midfield is joining in the laxity. Which means against any quality side we'd be torn to shreds.

Ideally, we're supposed to have a mix of youth and experience. The problem is that everyone spare a few players are actually performing above average. Odriozola isn't old; dude was a catastrophe yesterday. Isco too. I have no idea what Nacho was doing. Jovic was anon until his injury.

So as far as I'm concerned, Perez and Zidane have a stinker on their hands. It's not like they can buy 10 players in one transfer window. Even if they do, it's not like they're all going to acclimatize to Spanish football, or the coaches technique, or RM philosophy (whatever that is) within weeks.

Personally, I don't think the old guard can give any better than they have been giving recently; but I'm going to shut my piehole and watch the sh*tstorm or miracle that occurs this season.

FBS:
As in...no one could believe what they were witnessing. Atletico approached the game like its a proper league match.

Sure its preseason but then....

hoopLA:
If all I said is lie then you may have a point.

Unfortunately money and trophies dont buy class. Prime example-Real Madrid.

Oga prepare for a hard long winter of sorrow.

Dont pour your sadness on me.

Your club is trash. Deal with the fact that your president is a blood sucking demon called Perez who will sack Zidane by December.

monerozi5590:
This is the truth. This is the third match we have played in our preseason. Can you tell me coach apari's plan for the up coming season? Tactics, pattern, team set up.How he wants the team to play. Seriously, i don't know the direction the team is going?

FBS:
Big City rivals. Preseason bragging rights.

Atletico totally crushed Real Madrid.

A woeful performance by any standard. An interesting season it will be.

monerozi5590:
Zidane doesn't know what he is doing!

No tactics. Zidane Out.

Team like Valencia will take us to the cleaners.

This is not a team. No coordination in their play. Nonsense football. Dirty football.

Send the ball to the wings and cross. What type of football is that?.

I will continue to rant till Madrid start playing beautiful football. Zidane Out.


Kross mr side way 2cm passes and sometimes diagonal passes, you have serve us well but ur time is up

Casemiro mr tackles but not good on the ball and can't turn his waist to save his life. Your time is up.

Modric is still useful but he needs backup.



Perez get me Kelvin De Bruyne, Neymar and Pogba .

LordAdamX:
I'm not getting the outrage.

Still not getting it. I know folks are having PTSD flash backs to the start of last season but deep breaths people. Deep breaths!

Hopefully, Zidane doesn't try to be stubborn and makes appropriate strategic, technical, and personnel changes.

-Lord

hoopLA:
Lol.
Na facts I dey spit.
Madrid is a trash club run by a trash individual called Perez. He apparently sent Zidane to trash school during his sabbatical so that he can behave in a less than dignified way where Bale is concerned.

So when trash like Costa scores 4 against a defence led by an equally trash Ramos, it's only trash on trash.

If I were United, I'm raising the fee on Pogba to 250 million this night. Let them get a taste of trash they serve others.

When they spend so much on a trash world best instead of donating the money to find a solution to the trash problems globally, it's satisfying to see them get trashed.

Miremoses1:
Carvajal and Costa sees red.

Miremoses1:
You have rodrygo and kubo on the bench but decide to bring in LV.

erons22:
6-0

Miremoses1:
Kroos and modric won't even make levante's starting 11. Both of them are way past it.

Miremoses1:
Can't believe we will be going into the new season with same set of players from last season. From all the signings we made, only Hazard is a starter, the rest are just subs.
