Real Madrid Thread

Well that doesn't really look like an Ancelotti formation, does it? I think it unlikely to happen.

He most likely will stick to the back four and the 4-2-3-1.
Taking in account Carlo's preferences, the arrivals/probable departures and it should be something like this:


-------------------- Diego López --------------------

Carvajal ------ Varane ------ Ramos -------- Coentrão

--------------- Illara ----- Modrić ------------------

-------- Özil ---------- Isco -------- Ronaldo -----

------------------------Benzema-----------------------

If Ozil is too good for the bench, and Isco is the shiny new toy, does that mean that it's Di Maria who gets benched? He's one of the few 'naturally' wide players in the game, and I think they're required.

You can only fit so many world class players into one XI!

I would think so, I can't see Di Maria being there much longer and all this is without having to fit Bale in who will come likely with a world record fee.

They won't have issue's with width as Ronaldo and Bale can and will drift wide.

I suspect they will go back to the system they had with the original Galactico's

---Guti--Makelele-----
--Figo------Zidane--
----Raul--Ronaldo

with Ozil/Isco in for Figo and Zidane with Bale and Ronaldo being the forward line.
 
If Bale finally comes to Real Madrid, it will be the unbeatable XI

-------------------- Diego López -------------------

Arbeloa ------ Varane ------ Ramos -------- Coentrão

--------------- Khedira ----- X. Alonso ------------

-------- Özil ---------- Isco -------- Bale --------

------------------------Ronaldo---------------------
 
I can understand when someone puts Lopez before Casillas (even if I do not agree) but putting Arbeloa before Carvajal is pretty wrong. Real was the weakest on their right side whenever Arbeloa was in.
 
I was at the game and while I was impress by so many last night. I think CR is unbelievable he ran the whole match 90min . My sons n their mates were star struck .

Really. Saves like this you put for Lopez can be seen from Iker too. Just watch Sevilla - RM from 09/10 season and Sevilla - RM from 10/11. I just know that he made almost two identical saves at Sevilla in two different seasons when even comentators started shouting "Goooooal".

That 1on1 chip shot is really nothing Iker could do about. In 90% of 1on1 chances player will always try to strike it strong next or under you or try to pass you and have clear chance. Believe me, I am a goalkeeper too.


And here are those saves by Iker
Sevilla - RM (09/10)
YouTube - Iker Casilias Best Save Ever


Sevilla - RM (10/11)
YouTube - He Done It again!! Iker Casillas VS Seville



And yes, Iker can make mistakes, he is just a human being as you and I are...but he makes them far less than Lopez.

Lopez makes less mistakes than Casillas, if you no trust it, can see the statistics of last season.

I dont know enough of football, but if you want can ask to DTs like Ferguson, Sacchi, Mourinho why overrate Diego over Casillas...

Mistakes of Casillas on aerial balls sentence Real Madrid on first La Liga matches. You can also see the Kolarov goal on Champions League.

On the other hand, you can see the significant saves of Diego Lopez during the Champions knockout (Galata, ManU, Dortmund), and el Clasico (against Barcelona) that take Real Madrid goal-average against Barcelona last season (Barcelona wins La Liga but Real Madrid batting Barcelona on direct duel

Funny how in the Man Utd clip, you can see a blatant error of Diego Lopez not blocking the shot from Van Persie and allowing Welbeck to shoot inside the area. Then you can see a penalty to Vidic, as the defender touches the ball while Diego Lopez punches his face. Then there's a play in which Diego Lopez don't even touches the ball, that goes out of bounds. And it's called "best saves". People really like to hype things.

But, staying on-topic: Diego Lopez is a GREAT goalkeeper and his performance this season was brilliant. Casillas was not having a good performance at the start of the season, and I think Diego Lopez performed better than him this last season.

Now, that's mostly because for some reason Casillas had a dip in his form and personally I think he hated Mourinho and when things go that way...

You can see how the performance of Casillas in the Confed Cup was much better, he had an incredible match against Italy, for example, saving Spain many times in 1 vs 1s in the first half.

As I see it, Casillas is better IF he is in top form. If not, Diego Lopez is so good as well and whoever has the confidence can perform better at the moment.

Casillas is better at reflex saves (which would be the english word for that instinctive saves?) and has moments of brilliance, but lacks aerial power and is not very good in free kicks. Diego is more a constant performer, a good-for-all goalkeeper, but probably lacks the ascendancy that Casillas has on the defenders.

I like both. End of the discussion. ;)
 
What I don't like with Lopez is that he concedes to much on near post. It happened quite a few times last season. Iker is, as drekkard has nicely said, a bit weak in air, but he is great in positioning and with instinctive reactions so he would always be half a point in front of Lopez. But, if both of them stay in Madrid than Ancelotti will be sure enough for at least one spot in his team where he can choose whoever he wants and no one can tell him that he was wrong

Is FALSE and you know. If you see the Confed Cup of Casillas, the only one save against Italy is a shoot to the body of Casillas, the match against Brasil casillas made a terrible performance that meant the defeat on this championship. Against Italy Spain only pass penalties and no for Casillas saves of penalties, for a missed penaltie of Italian player.

First of all, mate, no need to be so aggressive in your posts with that bolded words, just quote.

Secondly, Casillas did 3 good stops vs Italy, the 3 shots on target by Italy: a 1 vs 1, a header at blankpoint and a hard shot from outside the area that he refused with the fists. So you're the one with false information.

Third, one aspect that you totally ignore is the confidence and ascendant that a player has over its teammates. After the italy match, some Spanish players were very vocal by stating that it was Casillas who had kept them alive in the first half. That is, by far, more important than your or mine oppinions.

Ask any Spanish player who they want in the net, and they want Casillas (if fit). That's because he's someone you can be confident with in the big matches, same asBarcelona and Valdes. They may have weaknesses (they are human after all), but in the big days they always perform.

Trying to say Casillas was guilty of any of the Brazil goals in the final is delusional. The same as saying that it was him the guilty one for the poor start of season of his team. After all, Ronaldo was terrible in his first 5 matches last season, the same as Ozil or Ramos, and I don't see you pointing at them.

I won't enter on a troll debate, because what matters is that both Casillas and Lopez are great goalkeepers. To me, Casillas has shown he can be inmense in the key matches. López hasn't got many chances to show it, but could be equally good.

PS: Cold statistics mean nothing, bro. Last year Xavi had a 100% of accomplished passes in a Champions League match. If I throw that statistic in a graphic, like you do, I would be cheating you. Barcelona lost 4-0 that match. In my oppinion, that 100% is one of the keys of the defeat. Numbers are just numbers, you have to dig deeper.

its not about his opinion , its about bullshit arguments he use , he put a gif of one save from Diego Lopez vs DORTMUND and than he put a gif from that AMAZING goal of Ramirez and want to say look Casillas its shit and Diego Lopez its class , that goal by Ramirez was world class and the ones that has to be blamed are those defenders not keeper , I could also put 4 goals from Lewa vs Diego Lopez too and one save of Casillas (or whatever keeper , even the worst keeper) and say look Digo Lopez its shit and other one its great coz he did that save !

Barcelona is the REAL ENEMY Nº1 of Real Madird, I´m Real Madrid fan since i was a child, and you are Barcelona fan all the time.

Now... I can see why all the Bracelona fans can protect Casillas against justified critics of Real Madrid fans.

Casillas is Real Madrid Capitan, but he only is interested on Spanish team. When Xavi, Fabregas, Iniesta or Pique declares something against Real Madrid to the press, Casillas never answer at them, but Real Madrid fans not wants a Captain than Casillas.

Casillas is the real responsible of the harassment that some sports journalists (on Spain) practice over Mourinho last season. These journalist are shown as FRIENDS OF CASILLAS.

The only reason for public humilliation (day to day) over Mourinho is that Mou things that Casillas was having a bad performance, and Diego Lopez deserved the ownership of Real Madrids goal (because is better than Casillas)

Casillas thinks that all his live will going to be the main gk of Real Madrid for his performance in past seasons, but Casillas never have a real competence here, and now Diego Lopez not only is a competence, is better than Casillas (as demonstrated last season).

But Barcelona fans want a Casillas because with Casillas captain Barcelona has humiliated Real Madrid on El Clásico last years. Humilliation that with Mourinho dissapeared last matches.

Now Casillas through journalist-friends managed to eliminate Mourinho, and Barcelona fans are happy, but Real Madrid dont forgive Casillas for it, and never will going to cover Casillas mistakes las season (which accounted LOST La Liga on 5 first matches against inferior opponents).

You can see this link (in spanish) before talk about Mafia conspiracy.

"Casillas out of Real Madrid" triumphs in Twitter while Barca presents Neymar
http://www.vozpopuli.com/deportes/2...n-twitter-mientras-el-barca-presenta-a-neymar

In Spanish social networks (Twitter), thousands of Real Madrid fans make the topic #CasillasFueraDelRealMadrid Trending Topic during some hours. The translation of this topic is #CasillasOutOfRealMadrid. One person can err and be a conspirator, but thousands of persons i think tath NO.

Well why do you think I like La Masia ? My Liga club is Real Betis. I won`t put that down ,because out of respect to Arsenal I wont acknowledge my mistress openly. Concubines are overrated:TTTH: I would love Diego or Cassilla at Arsenal :LOL:
 
@kaleso_87

Well, if drekkard is Barcelona fan, I am not. I was Real Madrid fan even before I heard for any Croatian team (and I am Croatian, was born in Croatia and I live here for almost 22 years)

And I prefer Iker before Diego because Iker has proven over and over again that he is a world class goalkeeper. Also, if Diego is better than him than it wouldn't be Diego who left for Villarreal after 2005/2006 season but Iker instead.

Casillas is a superclass, but now Diego is better than Casillas, the statistics say this.

Like Captain of Real Madrid for me Casillas disgrace the captain bracelet of Real Madrid.

Over this comparassion (Diego Iker) I had the same opinion as top class managers like Ferguson, Sacchi, Mourinho who collect 6 Champions League among themselves
