Hey man, pls lets keep it civil
No need abusing people biko

Leyqute:
Ramos was tough. His actions were ruled mostly by sense, not blind emotions. He’s not as stupid as Vini. Or you.

pu7pl3:
I'll resist the urge to insult you back but I hope you can see how hypocritical you are, I never even laid any personal attack on you just your take but now you've lashed out by calling me stupid. If I put you in Vinicius' shoes you'll probably react even worse than he did.

Ramos was a very emotional player like Vinicius, many of the red cards he got in his career could have been avoided but he played here for years and so will Vinicius if he wishes to. So your take on him not lasting here is a foolish take. He has already played more than 6 years here and counting. He will even become a club captain here. Very foolish take.

I LOVE THIS. You said and I quote: "I'll resist the urge to insult you back " THAT my darling pu7pl3 is what all of us is asking of our best player. HE needs to up the capacity of his resistor. Else he will not attain the greatness he is meant to become.

Ramos was emotional but with intelligence. With all due respect and very painfully, Vinicius is not learning the tricks/intelligence of the emotions exhibited by his mentors

Leyqute:
It’s a weakness and other teams will target it. They know they can send vini off if they play their cards right. Unfortunately Vini doesn’t know how to play that game. Ibrahimovic gets madder on the pitch but you hardly see him getting sent off like this

If I am a coach to face Real Madrid next match, I will make sure to review the actions (verbal and physical) that got under Vincius skin. I will get my defenders to note it very well and at every chance poke him with it. That is what every coach will have as a task delegated for compilation by their data assistants.

Vinicius will be more stupid to think it will get any better going forward. Ronaldo and Messi got the worst attacks both on and of the pitch. With success comes more attacks. He is flying high so he should note that more ways will be devised to make him react. Sadly, he is past the age of molding. I am only hoping he does the damage to the opponents before he self inflicts the damage on himself and Real Madrid wit poor Emotional management.

Imagine Vinicius is as calm as Benzema
Imagine Lamine is as emotional as Vini

Would you not as a player also be poking at Lamine to get him to REACT?
Honest question @purple

if your heart says yes, it shows you also have seen what other opponents have seen in Vini. That is POOR EMOTION MANAGEMENT. There will be days every responds. Only a didinrin would never at some point get angry. But if you keep responding to every barking dog on your way to the market you will never get to accomplish your goal of getting to the market.

We should resign to fate that Vini will be a great player football wise but a poor one in managing his emotions in the heat of battle SADLY.

@ purple we cant continue to excuse his reaction post sequence of events everytime. For it to be happening too often shows its a weakness he has and would/can not MANAGE it. There have been players like him in the past that WE ALL know any small thing we can on the mark predict they will react. It turns out our current best player is unfortunately one of such players. I pray he learns to control it better as he ages.

I am blaming him but also admitting the painful reality of his weakness. Just be ready that one of these days his impulse to react will cost us matchES. Hopefully those matches dont cost us trophies.

Hala Madrid.

okan won oni bale

God forbid bad thing. No let devil use you o. How will you feel pity for them.

Ronaldo renewed contract 2 times through out his stay with Real Madrid. Messis did so 5 times in same period. Pledging their total revenue to only end up with 8 UCLs less than Real Madrid.

Real Madrid did not force Barcelona to splash $434m for Coutinho, Dembele & Griezmann, Real Madrid was not responsible for Griezmann's €720k per week salary, Coutinho's €450k per week salary & De Jong's €721k per week salary.

Real Madrid is not responsible for them selling all their patrimony in the name of levers and fulcrum and their €555,237,619 problem. To still have to lie with claiming long term injuries for players to be able to sign more at the start of every season.

I hope they go trophyless this time next year and 2 years time when reviewing 2025 and 2026.

I come dey pity dem

Meanwhile. May God save us from poverty of the mind this 2025.

Happy New Year folks.

Happy New Year Madridistas

YOU ARE WICKED

pu7pl3:
Real Madrid will test your creativity when we win our 10th 🤭🤭

Thread title updated

I have been telling all my friends for 2 years now 3 that he needs to go, Else we will be bleeped up so bad.
It was same thing that happened when he coached AC Milan into the ground.

jpmoriarti:
Even with all the UCLs he's won for your team? 😂😂😂

No surprises there. Because he's a sackable coach. Remove his trophies, he has nothing else to offer.

For once I feel like hugging you. As for the last sentence though. He was our coach when we won La Decima with Alonso and Zidane was his assistant.

jpmoriarti:
If Ancelotti didn't win trophy for Real Madrid this season, he'll definitely be sacked. Because it is his trophies that helps him to clinge to his job. He offers nothing else. No distinct play styles. No recognisable tactical nuances. This is why he has been sacked everywhere he coached. He even went as low as coaching Everton as some point.

However, with Guardiola, it's is a different ball game. Guardiola's team are recognisable by their distinct playing style and you could see the tactical nuances he showcases everyday. Manchester City cannot sack him even if he goes trophyless this season because he offers so much more. They're even begging him to stay even in the midst of an unprecedented 6 games winless run.

Already, Guardiola has influenced 3 coaches, who are coaching at top clubs - Vincent Kompany (Bayern), Mikel Arteta (Arsenal), Enzo Maresca ( Chelsea) even Xavi (ex- Barcelona).

I can't remember any coach influenced by Carol Ancelotti, who's coaching a top club currently.

There is nothing else left for Carlo to prove.
He has been overtly successful and now he is old. What will make him drive these young boys? NOTHING
Will he be willing to risk emotional attachment to these boys? NO.

Person wey no buy defender last season despite injuries. He has seen it all done it all. He not any longer interested for NATURAL REASONS. he is a HUMAN BEING.

pu7pl3:
Arbeloa
Zidane
Klopp
Alonso.

Mbappe won't shine for us bro, I don't even care if he will anymore, he has had enough time to show what he can do but he can't do anything.

Was this real? I hope it was so we can try other hungry players.

pu7pl3:
Just see what this Bastard Ancelotti is saying

🗣 Carlo Ancelotti: “It was a difficult game. We knew they were in a good dynamic. I liked the team because we competed well. It doesn't change much because even if we won it was difficult to be in the top 8.”

Competed well how? No be all these kind talk them use sack Xavi and Ten Hag?

The solution is for this Grand Father to leave.
He is not coaching anything. Nacruise level till retirement he dey.
He has just been lucky but luck can only go so far.
His lack of capacity is now being exposed.

When hopefully he is leaving he should please drag Modric along with him out of the door.

jpmoriarti:
Fran Garcia was very good at Rayo. I remember the goal he scored against us last 2 seasons. Always busy and hardworking in the Rayo setup. But he hasn't hit it up since he joined you guys. He definitely hasn't managed to dislodge Mendy as a starter. Maybe Ancelotti doesn't trust him enough. But I like him. He reminds me of Jordi Alba

if Fran gets better defensively. He will permanently put Mendy on the bench

jpmoriarti:
Yeahh perhaps he's not having his best season start.

But I think you guyz deride him because he's probably not a Galactico. Nothing fancy about him. Keeps a low profile and goes about his business quietly but I like the steady performance he tends to bring especially on the big occasions. This is why Ancelotti likes him.

Of course, I won't take him ahead of Alejandro Balde, just because we already have Kounde as RB, who's a more defensive minded fullback. Ideally, you'd want a more attacking fullback on the other side. I think Balde can offer you more going forward.

He is worthless in the opponents half. Never contributes anything. What kind of footballer is that? And for all the claim of defensive mindedness, he regularly commits blunders that costs us goals

pu7pl3:
Bro Mendy is the opposite of assuredness. He hogs the ball in dangerous areas and he does fvck all in attack. If not for Camavinga on that Wing in that 1st half on Saturday Yamal would have skinned him.
He has his good days but they are few and very far between.
He has become a liability in that line up and Ancelotti is just being foolish cos we actually have someone that's ready to take over on the bench.

Divide the pitch into 3.
1st part (defence)- Mendy hogs the ball putting the team at risk
2nd part (midfield)- Mendy plays ball forwards and sideways
3rd part (attack)- Mendy gets scare of passing the ball forward, he NEVER (Pls replace as CANNOT) crosses. Unable to shoot at goal too.

pu7pl3:
We are back in training
I wish this man will start Endrick and Guler in this match but I know he won't.

I hope we see some tactical changes and improvements atleast. Benching Mendy is a no brainer too.

Bench Mendy ke? He will rather see another loss than bench Mendy

why are you wasting your time?
Is it a hard thing to ignore things that are irrelevant? Stop giving attention to it.

Replying or quoting it gives it joys and it sees it as a result it desires.

Bacteria8:
No we're not. Shut the fvck up spam bot

FergieRaww:
I cut 4pts down to 3pts and you're yet to play Us and the same ATM lol 😂

ATM has not defeated them in a decade.

Delete that unfortunate club from title contenders

let me help you tag him incase he missed the sub.

if I reply you make I shit pineapple

pu7pl3:
I'm glad there are people like us that appreciates Rodrygo
That boy na baller and Ancelotti knows it, my only problem with the man is that he likes to stick with his gala 11, so I wouldn't even be surprised if Mendy starts the next match too and then plays poorly again only to still start the next one after that

Rodrygo is a work horse. Does his defensive and midfield duties without fuss. Has least attention in attack and does his dribbles and runs into the final third causing havoc to opponents.

yet some say he should be sold to Man City because he does not score like Vinicius.

pu7pl3:
Maybe cos he can be defensively stable when he is on form, but even that is gone now.

Put a gun to Mendy's head and ask him to choose between getting shot in the temple or crossing the ball into the 18 yard box.

he will gladly ask to be shot twice.

man can't attack much less do a pull out to save his life. The mental block is similar to that of Coentrao. The saving grace Mendy has is little competition on that space and its all thanks to Eyebrow and his son.

Modric is just being unrealistic.

Marcelo remains one of the best captains and madridista ever. He knew when he was no longer delivering and never complained about sitting on the bench motivating the younger ones to success. He has seen it all and was not envious or jealous of missing the spotlight.

Kroos decided to leave when the ovation was loudest.

Modric is choosing the path that makes legends become villains if he is not careful.

Parix7:
He might get into the God mode later on as the season progresses, but this should be the last season with us, i can't afford hating on the legendary Godric cause of age and also respect Kroos for this same exact decision too

@devvy4

how has been the performance of Endrick? Does he look like benching Rodrygo. Sorry you wanted Rodrygo sold because of Endrick coming.

Accept my condolences

FergieRaww:
For the past few months i've been battling with a lot, burnt through a lot of resources just to battle the failing health of my Dad... God knows how much Real Madrid & Football games in general has kept me going, i clearly broke down in tears at that comeback against Bayern and my girl thought it was just the game but it was all the emotions and pains i've been bottling up that just got loosed

I'm already looking forward to our 15th tomorrow and another reason to be happy in the midst of my Tribulations but now the zeal for it just got lost.

Well Death won.. i just lost my Dad this afternoon

Tbh i'm not prepared for it Emotionally, Physically and Financially anymore

Goodluck to our Boys tomorrow

I trust you

pu7pl3:

FergieRaww:

Now updated to R36L MADRID

Jokerman:
Hala Madrid.

Can still win City at the Etihad

It all boils down to Ancelloti. Wrong line up, Wrong Substitutions, Wrong time for substitutions.

Rodrygo is proving his doubters wrong as usual
