Hard fought win for Real Madrid 😤😤
The Match was hard for Los Blancos from the word go. We won it through a late Sergio Ramos penalty, but I am not still convinced we deserved the win. I do hope Zidane just finished up his experiments on different formations as soon as possible, and we get back to the old Real Madrid on form.

I am also interested in seeing how the closest rivals Barcelona and Atlético Madrid will line up tomorrow. Not a huge fan of Suarez but I do hope he becomes the top scorer, just to rub in more salt into Barcelona's fresh wound Cheesy

Yes, who was it who said yesterday it's going to be yet another Ramos penalty for 3 points? Getting a bit tired of the same outcome but then that's how they play. Keep making it difficult for opponents in the box, win the penalty, step up Ramos.

They'll be so happy they didn't end up drawing twice in a row. Good luck to Barca tonight! So looking forward:)

I am just telling about Real Madrid's forward lineup or scorer.

Me too. But it seems you only talk on your side. Not respond what I stated above.

If you know about football then you must know the role of a skilled striker for a team.

You don't need to tell me about it!
I know football since I was a kid and I am a football lover as well.
Played football and wacthed various football matches, also follow any issues related football.

A team can never win a cup unless a team has a good forward or finisher.

I know it, I just delive my opinion how if Real Madrid plans to have another striker as good as Benzema or even better than him. See my reply before.

Quote from: Swordsoffreedom on September 26, 2020, 01:57:01 AM

Benzama is the 2nd highest scorer in last season. It shouldn't be a blind fan of a team. just watch the game and consider.

I don't blind it, lol.
Indeed he can be 2nd highest scorer because there is no Ronaldo (CR7) anymore there. If there is Ronaldo or another striker can play regularly, I doubt Benzema can do it. Of course he can have a big chance to be top scorer because he almost plays in every single match.

Anyway, I never stated that Benzema is a bad striker, he is a good striker. I am a Madrid fan, I know how he played since he came to Bernabeu at the first time.

They could possibly go for Haaland in the future. Let's be honest Real Madrid just makes more money than almost any team in the world, there are few that makes more money, even if Madrid didn't win champions league that many times recently, they would still be a team that made a ton of money, which means we are talking about a team that can spend 100 million or even more for a player they really need.

Haaland is just that type of player, he would be perfect fit for real as well, usually they like players who are a bit more physical and not players with flair, so I assume that is who they are waiting for. I can't guarantee it obviously because who knows what they will do or who they will get, we are not involved with the team but that was the media talk last year before the pandemic and I believe that is not 100% gone, it was just postponed.

It will be either Haaland or Mbappe. Personally I'd prefer Mbappe because Haaland first has to show some consistency at Dortmund to really be a good candidate for Real. Fact is, both won't be cheap. Haaland might have a buy-out clause in his contract, we don't know.

Mbappes contract runs out in 2022 and if he doesn't extend it, Paris has to sell him next year to at least don't have to let him go completely for free. So my guess is that Real will make a move for Mbappe next summer. They didn't spend anything on the transfer market this summer. So for next year they should have an even bigger budget for new players.

Real Madrid doesn't have a good striker. Zidane doesn't trust Jovic or Mariano. He doesn't give them a chance. That's his mistake in my opinion. If he gave a chance like Benzema, believe me, Jovic and Mariano would have scored more goals than Benzema. Perhaps that this kind of love for Benzema also repels other strikers from moving to Real Madrid.

No mate, how can you say Realmadrid don't have a good striker, Benzema is one of the best finisher and team player in the league, comparing him to jovic and Mariano is disrespectful ever since jovic signed from Frankurt he has been so poor he had so many chance to prove himself during cup matches yet nothing. Benzema is the backbone of Madrid attack, he contributed much to the team offensively and defensively too i remembered him finishing as the league 2nd highest scorer last season with 25 goals or so. Ramos and Benzema owns Madrid and with the current situation in Barcelona I see them retaining the trophy for another season

I think if Zidane would have expressed the same confidence in Jovic as Benzema, then Jovic would have scored the same number of goals, and maybe more. But as we can see, Zidane trusts no one except Benzema. And not just does not trust. He is not even looking for a striker for transfer.
In Spain, there are teams that can seriously compete with Real Madrid in the fight for the championship. Don't forget about Aletico Madrid and Sevilla.

I can't really understand why people keep questioning Zidane after everything he has done and shown. And yeah, Benzema's one of the best, and he hasn't done anything to show he's shit. As a Barca fan, there are 2 players I hope leave or don't play in Real Madrid. Ramos first. Benzema second. Why is Zidane being questioned after winning?

The chaos in Barcelona doesn’t seem to stop.
Conflicts occur at all levels, between players and coaches, but also between the president of Barcelona and the players and between the board members themselves.
There is a ruthless struggle for power and positions and I am afraid that in this universal war Barcelona awaits another unsuccessful season.
What do you think?

Real Madrid is fully depended on Benzema. They haven't any alternative.

IMO, that happens because Real Madrid has no other strikers that have experience and skills better than Benzema. Also, Real Madrid never tried to look for top strikers as the substitution seriously. I don't know what's wrong with Real Madrid, they seem to keep Benzema whatever his performance all the season. I suspect the Real Madrid signed a lifetime contract for Benzema. Cheesy

Quote from: Swordsoffreedom on September 25, 2020, 01:03:41 PM

I think won the title only for his performance.

Big NO. Won the title must depend on the performance of all players in the club. Benzema cannot win the title if he plays alone. All players must have their roles both when they lose and win the title. Please don't make a kidding, Benzema isn't a great player as you said. I've already a Madrid fan for years, long before Benzema came to Madrid.

Real Madrid is fully depended on Benzema. They haven't any alternative. We know a player doesn't stay in form all year round, an alternative scorer is needed. Benzema was in great form last season, and so I think won the title only for his performance. I look forward to seeing what Real Madrid will do if Benzema loses his form in this season.

So long as his paycheck commensurates with his expectancy, I still believe he would pick up the pace and would do well. Besides, he's got other players to help him see the team through in the likes of Luka Modric.
The only limitation would be in terms of injury and match ban but then, a team like Real Madrid should have a lot of other efficient strikers abay if I may borrow those words. Manchester city have got that and it's nice.

Yeah, this is my point. Real Madrid is a very big club. And they have a lot of fan-followers. They needed to keep at least 2 skilled strikers.

Bad start for my favorite club Real Madrid. I saw Real having the ball but they didn't score. As for Benzema, he's too deep to have the ball, I see he's not at his best performance.

Talking about Benzema, he isn't a bad striker, he is good. But yes, he doesn't really a striker with predator instinct. And not really good at the positioning. As a fan, I have expected a long time ago to see another top striker replacing his position in Real Madrid. I think Real Madrid needs a striker like Lewandowski, Kane, Aubameyang, or Agüero who can battle a lot with opposite defenders in the front line.

There is nothing to take away from real Madrid mask man Karim Benzema last season he was a focal point to real Madrid winning the Spanish league, his goals speaks in deafening volume only few strikers lewandowski, immobile vardy where as good or better, so zidane didn't have much of a choice in strikering selection. And no Bale this season for real Madrid, Benzema experience is what they can Bank on.

Note:
- Real Madrid : 1 draw (1 match)
- Villareal : 1 win, 1 draw (2 matches)
- Valencia : 1 win, 1 lose (2 matches)

Bad start for my favorite club Real Madrid. I saw Real having the ball but they didn't score. As for Benzema, he's too deep to have the ball, I see he's not at his best performance.
Furthermore, regarding Covid-19 Martin Odegaard when the first test was tested positive but the second test was negative. I hope Martin Odegaard performs and can play well against Real Betis this week.

It's incredible what Barca board is doing. Free transfer of Suarez to Atletico is something hardly understable. They just improved squad of direct competitors. Yeah, he is already old, slow and fat, but still high level player. I'm sure that he will make lot of troubles for Barca this season.

I could not believe it myself. I understand that his best years are behind him and that his wage is a problem for the club due to corona crises and loss of revenue but I am sure some solution could have been found. It seems like he really cares about Barca and I guess they could have talk about wage reduction and contract extension with him ending the career there. I don't know how much is club policy and how much is Koeman trying to show he is the boss.

Regarding Suarez as a striker, no matter the years he is still top player. Those volley shots of his are incredible and there is no other player in the world that hits them that good. He will be great in Atletico and this could be the year when both Real and Atletico finish before Barca. Sevilla could find them selves near the top as well.

All that being said, can't wait for the first Barca game to see what we can expect from them. As always a lot will depend on Messi and we need to see if he will play on his best after all those transfer problems and loosing his best friend in the squad (Suarez).

3rd best scorer in Barcelona history. There was ups and downs in these 6 years, but Suarez definitely came into history of Barca. And MSN trio (Messi, Suarez and Neymar) was probably best attacking triio I ever saw.
I watched emotional Suarez farewell and it's obvious how difficult for him to leave Barca.

Guys, have you checked "La Liga standings" right now? In the first and second place, no big teams are there. I am a bit surprised by this result even if it is still matchday2 and some big teams still didn't play yet (Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla). But I never imagine before that Real Madrid, Valencia, and Villareal started this season with unsatisfying results. Now, Granada and Real Betis are leading the table! Amazing starts done by these two clubs.

I don't see nothing strange because just 2 rounds were played, while big teams haven't played yet or had just 1 game. Real Betis improved their squad and have great manager Pellegrini, so, they can fight for UEFA spots. While Granada were already solid last season. And forget about Valencia - they have turned into mediacore team with current management.

Barcelona coach Koeman is slowly beginning to realize how difficult his job in Barcelona will be.
He has problems with the players and the Barcelona management has not stood behind him and doesn't support him.
Do you also have the feeling that he has already been sacrificed and that he is only a transitional solution to Barcelona?
Without the support of the player and the club management what he can actually do?
We will most likely watch another failed Barcelona season while the relentless struggle of board members for power at the club continues.

Koeman: wazzup people, U Messi U have no more privileges, U Suarez U R fired, U (another player) U R out...
Koeman: U no love meh?
Too lazy to make a meme but it is normal for Barca players, oldies or not, to not like him since he is a direct threat for all of them. If he succeed then he will be a champ, if he fails he will be humiliated and made responsible for all the catastrophic management and damage done to Barca. So yeah awkward situation Lips sealed
