All things Real Madrid. Hala Madrid!

[Ax Pekan @AxPekan57671]

@natimentz He is absolutely insane. This has to be the best performance by a midfielder in world cup history

[Ax Pekan @AxPekan57671]

@RealDealPodz It may not be realistic, but I see a Cape Verde upset 😌

[The Real Deal @RealDealPodz]

The time has come.

We must band together, pray and save our timeline from an Argentina victory.

[Ax Pekan @AxPekan57671]

@BlancoInsight @marca Premier League next season will be 🔥🔥🔥

[Ax Pekan @AxPekan57671]

@natimentz How bad are things in Angola?

[Ax Pekan @AxPekan57671]

@MadridXtra @MarioCortegana @GuillermoRai_ Clear plan: ignore real madrid's medical team. Lol

[Ax Pekan @AxPekan57671]

@MadridXtra @MarioCortegana Of course! What kind of medical team do we have? They should have been fired a long time ago. If this was a coach loosing games as much as player injuries, he would have been fired. Makes no sense

[Ax Pekan @AxPekan57671]

@MadridXtra @soymadridista Do these guys have enough sense to fire the medical team?

[Ax Pekan @AxPekan57671]

@Blackarmani636 @BlancoInsight Cry cry cry baby, just like Vini 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

[Score 90 @Score90_]

Including Álvaro Arbeloa, Xabi Alonso still has the best win rate among the last six Real Madrid managers. 😳👔

[ACHRAF @LamdarhriAchraf]

Watching Vinicius Junior regularly, I think he's far from being a perfect winger.

In 1v1 situations, he's elite due to speed, agility, ability to change direction, and reading his opponent's physical cues to proceed on the dribble.

HOWEVER, I think he rarely plans his subsequent actions post the dribble. That often leads him to over-dribble, miss passes, and mistime his shots. As a result, his productivity drops.

I think in Real Madrid's UCL-winning seasons, Vinicius Junior was better in this regard.

BUT, IMO an elite winger is the one who knows when and where to dribble, pass, and shoot.

Rewatching Rayo Vallecano and Liverpool, it was glaringly obvious that an improvement is a must in this regard.

[ACHRAF @LamdarhriAchraf]

Giving Vinicius Junior the absolute freedom to do whatever he wants may maximise him & make him happy.

But there are trade-offs.

One of them is that Carreras isn't sure anymore about making those over/under-lapping runs.

Another one is by overdribbling and over-keeping the ball; he nips in the bud the chance for cutbacks toward the zone around the edge of the box because Gonzalo Garcia already pushes the backline toward the goal.

And by over-attacking the byline, he becomes more predictable. Defenders have to time their actions to put their bodies between Vinicius and the ball the moment he nudges it toward the byline.

[Ax Pekan @AxPekan57671]

@Gilld @theMadridZone Right????? Was that not their tactics? Give Vini the ball, let Vini be the main guy, let him save the team. People forget this was never a one person sport even with CR7. But some people would begin to cry if the game does not revolve around them. Sad

[Ax Pekan @AxPekan57671]

@BlancoInsight Yeahh where are all those "Mbappe is taking goals from the team...” retards 🤣. Only an irresponsible person would blame others for their inability to perform.

[Ax Pekan @AxPekan57671]

@RealDealPodz I just saw we've lost a 3rd of the games we've played since Xabi left. Unbelievable.

[Ax Pekan @AxPekan57671]

Losing a 3rd of the games you've played is unreal. Can't believe some retards thought Xabi was the problem at Real Madrid

The only thing that has changed (not improved) since Arbeloa took over is that the players got their freedom back. Freedom to do absolutely any rubbish they want (It’s not as if they were not doing this under the previous manager.)

Same bullshit, same inconsistency, same lackadaisical attitude, same everything.

[lore_ @LoreMadridistaa]

if you talk about the fact that we made ZERO improvements as a team since xabi's sack, you get called a xabi widow.

well, here we are..
