77' Kaka

Due to being busy (these are the last few days of my summer school), I couldn't write a review of the Villarreal game nor a preview for tonight's game. However, I was able to record the third episode of the RealmadridTalk Podcast in which I, Kevin from the OwnGoalNetwork, Corey and Mark from the Offside.com discuss Real's victory over Villarreal, compare Ronaldo to Messi and preview the Tenerife game.

Well, depends on Pellegrini.This JUST might be a blessing in disguise as it can...

The Tenerife game shouldn't be a problem. Our first real European challenge will be on Wednesday against Marseille. After that our first La Liga challenge against Sevilla . With our early goal and the red card Villareal couldn’t really challenge. In England the teams know where they stand for they all had tough matches already, plus I hate to say it our League is still nowhere the Premier League. Back in the days other teams used to compete with Barca and us. Sevilla and Valencia are still in sight but both Villareal and Atletico are a heavy disappointment.
Just wanted to let the ppl know the game kicks-off early tonight at 18:00 CET. So don't miss it folks!

I haven't watched a quality stream since this years LaLiga started. Last year Veetle was awesome, now it's much harder to find good streams. And if you do find a stream 90 percent of the time it's not in English. Also it appaers they are planning early kick offs in the future, 15:00 CET like the premier league.
Reply to Trunks:
yeah that will make a dent in the share of EPL in viewership in Asia for sure.
lol, have to say this again, why can't I get a Sky Sports stream 4 once, always have to hear those stupid commentators at Gol TV or hear Spanish commentary on ESPN Deportes. Just our bad luck!
Reply to themadridguy:
Ya this time i wont miss it
I heard that Xabi can face his brother for the first time his name is Mikel,sounds interesting
"ronaldo is goal, and messi is ingeniousness!" -- fabio capello
fabio is right...(as always)
Havnt been on for awhile now but im happy to say that watching madrid matches aint half as bad as it was last year so for that perez thanks! The only thing im worried about is how fast it'll take the team to gel especially defensivly cos we are still shaky at the back! As for todays match i'll say madrid 4 tenfere 0-cos of pepe's return.
CASILLAS; SERGIO RAMOS, PEPE, ALBIOL, DRENTHE; LASS, XABI ALONSO; GRANERO, CRISTIANO RONALDO; RAÚL Y BENZEMA
I am surprised that neither albiol nor lass get a break considering that the next two matches are quite tough!
vamos vamos vamos! hala madrid!
Good news!
Maradona's finally come to his senses, and has called up Higuain for the Albicelestes!
we are playing like a totally different team without kaka.
our great grandpa missed a goal that stevie wonder would've scored
Why is Benz playing on the left wing & not CR9? He has been quite shit!
Bring in Guti or Kaka,and you will all see the difference
Reply to MadridistAli:
yeah but what is Granero doing out there? He's supposed to be a playmaker.
And this justin.tv shit is killing me.
one word: horrible!
and don't say itS because no kaka..our 2. 11 should win against them..
any one have any good working LINKS for the game ....?
negredo has scored so I am happy for him..I think sevilla can do damage in this league..
lol! Guti for Ramos??
gol Benz! Alonso is not our most imp player, KAKA is man! We need PLAYMAKERS!!!!
cr9 IS SHIT TODAY!
LINK
try this one
WHAT A FOOL THAT DEFENDER WAS!
Benzema again what a
Reply to ludwig Hasbauer:
it's BECAUSE kaka was missing the attacks are all lacking of depth. Plus Raul's nonexistence
Pirate doesn't play good too
los_galacticos i remember you once said that Benzema sucks LOL he just answered you
Bring Ronaldo off, he needs to freaking rest, bring on El Pipita. Really dissapointed with Granero today, should've done better.
lets see bout this freekick
PLZ take Raul off now! What has he done??
Casillas is having some crazy moments today.Better shave that beard now!
i hope Benzema scores a hat-trick today
CR9 should take a break too
i prefer El Pipita to Raul ANYTIME!!! NO.7 is freaking invisible
YEEEEESSSSSSSSS KAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAA!
RICARDO KAKAAA what a goal! i'll give him the man of the match
Its funny,Raul assisted this goal
KAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!
KAKA IS GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOl the fans are chanting Perez's name or Drenthe's name i dunno
another LOL out of topic
Chelsea lost 1-3
comom 1 more
Reply to MadridistAli:
could that be considered as an "assist" no kidding man, that was just the reflection.
Higuain needs to start against Marseille, Raul just played 90 mins and did worse than Higuain did against Villareal.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
i thought it was an assist coz the link is just jamming
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
agreed..but raul cant add his goal record in CL..raul pls retired next season
You know what guys,yes we won but still this isn't our best form,we didn't play well and we scored 3 goals,how many goals will we score if we play our best football
after praising raul I must say today he was really really very very bad..what annoys me is that he didn't pass to ronaldo before the kaka goal, because cr9 always passed to raul in the last matches..and cr9 really looked angry, but so did he in manchester when not scoring..
the best thing was that kaka and benzema got a confidence boost..and although our defence was not good we haen't conceded a goal in 4 matches in la liga..
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
I do agree,Raul played worst than SHIT in his record breaking game
Malaga please do us a favor and crush Barcelona (seems impossible to me
)
Reply to ludwig Hasbauer:
We did I think, 2 goals, wasn't that against Deportivo?
Boooooooooooooooooooooo! What a 3rd grade performance by our team! How much time do our players need to gel?? The whole season?? We were no way near Barca's level. Barca will beat Tenerife by 5-6 goals I'm sure.
He looked distracted.
Some points I have:
1. Worst performance of CR9 in la liga so far! What was he doing out there? Totally out of form. It seemed something or someone since last game had rattled his focus. Now Messi is gonna take a lead in the Pichichi race.
2. Raul- what can I say about him? We just need to get rid of this guy. Was totally invisible on the pitch. Don't know why ppl are so hell bent on playing that old guy. He can honestly kiss my ass!
3.All players looked invisible in the midfield except Kaka. Pepe was suspect in defense. Drenthe looked solid.
4. Kaka made all the difference in the 2nd half. MOM coming off the bench.
We need to play a hell lot of better to beat Marseille, Sevilla & Milan in the coming days.
Barca are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ahead of us. What?? We can challenge Barca this yr?? In ur dreams!!!!!
Reply to MadridistAli:
true we are scoring but the teams we are scoring on aint much of a test. We still havnt clicked as a team yet still relying on indiviual talent. Cant wait for the sevilla match! Madrid for life!!!!
adam any link that i can see replay i miss the first half..again i thought it start late..
Seriously guys, all Drenthe can freaking do is run and kick the ball very hard. He has no class but he's a gutsy player and that's important. Marcelo's Brazilian flair makes him a much better left-back for me though.
Like Adam said in one of his posts, Guti is World-Class when he's consistent. Him and Kaka gave us a completely new look.
And WTF is up with Guti? I haven't seen him consistently play so well in ages
Despite some strange moments, Casillas bailed us out on countless occasions, he made at least 5 awesome saves. It was a good thing we took off Ramos because he's our only right-back at the moment and he had to play against Marseille. Despite this being a bad performance, we won, and by a good margin. In addition, we had a cleen-sheet. We could do much better do...but that's just it, if we can do much better, how much more will we score?

Chill out. Why do you always have a knee-jerk reaction?
Reply to mazima:
I will let you know If I get it
Reply to MadridistAli:
Shit , that means Man Utd are gonna make it 4 titles in a row!
They are way too consistent. Don't know what happens to Chelsea, after a good start to the season, they just lose the plot in the middle. Arsenal beat the same team 4-0 a few days ago, shame Chelsea!
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
On Guti, touch wood
On everything else, I have to explain in a post, but generally the team has been playing good. Compare it to the one we had several years ago, we might not be playing as a team as Barca do, but that's fine. We have achieved fantastic results and that's what counts.
Reply to Adambader:
Man, what do u expect?? Barca are way ahead of us! They are gonna run away with the liga again this yr.
At this rate we are going to get whooped again by Barca in league & an EPL team in CL. All the massive spending & still no result.
We are gonna be again a laughing stock come May.
I'm gonna cool down by tomorrow, don't worry!
Reply to themadridguy:
How are Barca ahead of us? With tonight's result, I think we are topping the league even If Barca win their game. We are scoring fantastic goals and achieving results home, away, against small teams and big teams. The only thing I can see difference is style of play. Barca play more as a team and this is normal. Their squad haven't changed dramatically. We have played as a team a couple of times but we still need more time to perform consistently.
Reply to Adambader:
Barca are just on another level! We can't match them, neither can any other team in Europe at this moment, I think!
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
totally agreed, Marcelo is perfect once he learns how to defend decently. give credit to drenthe with his play today. though, i agree that he has "no classs" as u said but i really admire his attitude of playing, that's sth marcelo had been lacking of(the brazilian had prominent improvement against villareal).
Guti look hot too, i was quite suprise to see him not started ahead of Xabi who has just been recovered from injury. guti is no doubt world class once he is in form. right now he is playing like he did two seasons ago when he solely relied on him on everyting. i hope the vice-captain can keep on going.
Reply to MadridistAli:
who cares, if that was counted as an assists, then michael jackson is still alive.
Reply to Adambader:
yes, but not in the last 4 matches in la liga..
Reply to ludwig Hasbauer:
yeah, CR9 shouted at Raul real bad! He cud have eaten him alive there!
Again proves Raul is all about himself.

La Liga
29 Aug 09 - 19:00 BST, Estadio Santiago Bernabeu (79,000)
Real Madrid 3-2 D.La Coruna
Man Ibra surpassed CR9,he scored in his 5th game again,CR9 didn't but who cares
Reply to Adambader:
this was the first match, and since then we have won 4 matches withut conceding a goal, right?? I am confused..
Reply to ludwig Hasbauer:
Yes, correct, I thought you said we haven't conceded in La Liga yet.
Adam you are right the sound quality isn't clear in the Realmadrid podcast,maybe you need to work harder
Reply to Adambader:
ah, ok, no no I had said that we didn't concede one in the last four..sergio raemos is hurt, he has a muscular problem..
Reply to themadridguy:
but check this out,Liverstool won 6-1
hat trick for Fernando Torres
Reply to MadridistAli:
We need that Torres guy playing for us, not that EPL team. Perez go after him next yr. I read it is his 5th hat-trick in EPL! WOW!!
Reply to MadridistAli:
yes, nobody cares who scores as long as we win. but u just make urself look so stupid to support our rival's striker but not our own player. im not a CR9 fan but i rather see him score than Ibra does.
Hi there, liked the podcast and thought I would add my thoughts to your site.
Crap game agreed, esp. 1st half.Alonso was not allowed to create play and Lass had a howler. Drenthe was overun yet again by a Sevilla canterano.
Worrying thoughts - at the mo we're nowhere near CL level, Sevilla should be fun at the Sanchez with Negredo off the mark. (I was dead against the sale as we need a real box man who can hold the ball up) and will have something to prove next week.
Finally can Pellegrini manage the egos?? Cristiano on a sulk as per, esp with Raúl which is not a harmonious move, Granero has sulked off out the studio and home and Higaín sits on the bench wondering how he's gonna get minutes to impress Maradonna, worrying........
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
I like Zlatan's style of play but that doesnt mean i support him,actually i thanked god he got injured but still he played and scored a goal too.
Reply to MadridistAli:
Corey or someone else was in a cafe and there was a lot of noise in the background.
Reply to Labomba:
Same here, I'm worrying about the same thing.
i think the team lack a bit of continuity......especially up front where player need to learn the other player runs ..etc....hope we keep winning while the coach find the right formula for the team ..hala madrid
Bayern lost 1-0 to Hamburg. Wonder why Robben isn't in the headlines lately, may be he's cracked!
Talk about ego of our Castilla Granero walking out on the coach. Imagine what a Robben could have done in his place: gone into a fist fight with CR9.
Ominous signs folks!!
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
u obv have somthing against drenthe? boy was solid today MUCH better left back then marcelo left back first thing is to defend then attak if marcelo has that brazlian flair to attack whos gona do the defending eh?
agree raul was shite today altho he worked hard but anybody notice he has only scored OPEN GOALS this season lol
madrid dont work hard enough to win the ball back its anooying! other teams work there socks of against them so far madrid are winning on individual talent but hopefully soon they will start playing like a team.
also ronaldo wasnt happy at being subbed off but in a way thats a good thing becouse he wants to play even more! pelle will sort him out
albiol was solid today aswell same as drenthe
pepe was good ramos still getting back to hes full fitness..
i think real madrid defence get OVER worked!!! 4 clean sheets in a row tho? who can complian even tho if they have been lucky clean sheet is a clean sheet and WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE AGAIN cuz barca had to win by 3 goals to go top!
ronaldo nearly scored a goal of the season!!
i heard granero left the stadium when he was subed at half time?
Ronaldo and Granero showed no class when they got subbed. Ronaldo didn't even see face to face with Pelligrini. Already this early in the season and there is problems with Ronaldo? wow i already knew this would happen but not this early, fuck it Perez Ronaldo will bring down the locker room!
here if you want to read about Pelligrini vs Cristiana Ronalda

Why the hell you guys always mentioning Barcelona? who gives a fuck about them? I don't. Today they struggled to beat Malaga 2-0. Fuck some of you guys have no patience at all ( los_galacticos).
IDC what happens at Farsalona or their players thats why im a merengue not a cule.
If some of yall think Barcelona will win the league by miles and we will get eliminated in the CL by an EPL team why the hell are you waisting your time supporting Madrid?
Hala Madrid!
OH and BTW this team has only been playing for a couple months. Since some of yall love farca so much, them last season struggled at the beginning.
Reply to Madridista09:
this happens..i remember wayne rooney got subd off against besktas in the champ league last week and he went on a rage! but he was fine the next day and i do not think ronaldo will bring down the locker room...he just wants to play more games and score more goals cuz people already on hes back about hes price tag i dont see this as a problem..he well learn but im disapointed at granero i know ronaldo can be like this but granero i thought he was better then this!

Don't see it ppl! It was a horrible display by us . Wait for the CL game on Wed.
Looks like I was right! Most of the ppl including Marca editors, Valdano & Madridistas around the world think it was a shocking/horrible performance nowhere near CL level. Hope we can improve.
Reply to los_galacticos:
i think robben will change his mind ang tell ribery to go to real..
Reply to Realfanatic:
thx adam..
Reply to W335Y09:
Yeah wtf is wrong with him?? If Castilla players start doing this then what can U expect from foreign players?? Granero needs to grow up & show some respect to the team, leaving the Bernabeau at half-time does not win over ur team-mates or the fans.
Maybe he'll get the Riquelme treatment from Pellegrini & rot on the bench.
Parejo was a better, nicer kid than him, didn't complain so much.
Expect us to look for a replacement for Granero in the Jan transfer window.
Put VDV in the squad take out Granero and send him to the reserves.
Parejo is really good hopefully he can be Guti's replacement.
Reply to Madridista09:
i have to agree with u on this!! we've got bunch of new faces with a new coach. it's just the 5th La Liga game and some pple have already conclude our failure. it's totally ridiculous.
I always heard the term "be patient" last season with that SHIT squad, how come we can't be patient with his much better squad and players.
Reply to W335Y09:
yes, indeed, that run is impressive.
well said on the left back part mate, even though i personally prefer marcelo to drenthe, i have to agree that "defense" is more important than attack as a leftback.
it's very interesting. marcelo showed his improvement on defense last game against villareal and drenthe today also showed his improvement on using the ball. if they keep on going, our team will definitely be benefited. they are young and have rooms to improve.

any of you guys can tell me something about this player?
IDK why we need him...
Reply to los_galacticos:
Just wanted to say I disagree with ppl who say Alonso is our most imp player- NO Sir, he's not! We didn't miss him in the few games he was injured.
It is Kaka we can't do without. Take Kaka out & we play Second division futbol.
Kaka MVP! Plz God don't ever get injured or we're doomed 4 sure!!
Hey Adam, when u write the review for this game, tell us what do u think about CR9 & Granero's antics! Have u lost faith in Granero & been let down by him? What punishment shud he get?? Excluded from the squad or something?? It was very wrong what he did: leaving the Bernabeu at HT!
Like i said b4 we cant really judge the team till the 2nd half of laliga and most especially cl starts! we have so many peeps to prove wrong this yr. Dont get me wrong i have all the faith in my team but to be realistic we still have lots of work to do!

finally we hear something about zizou, also heard he will be in madrid to watch his two former clubs on wednesday..
any news on Alipio? I don't see him on the roster of Castilla or C?
I really want to see him with the first team in copa del rey games against small clubs!
Ok in the light of all the cricitizm going on lately from our performance against Tenerife and Xerez.
Their are small stuff that people aren't realizing, yes its true that this is the second time in history where we have the best players in the world in almost every position but you know what really catches my eye about Galacticos V2? They have presistance and aren't arrogant like the old Galacticos in the zizou era were; they run more and try to fix each others mistakes and this is the reason we have a winning streak right now imo.
Every news paper has Real Madrid under the microscope looking for the slightest mistakes in every milisecond of their gameplay; thats enough proof that we are the best in history so fans just relax a bit.
I am not so confident about the outcome of this season though; I think we face a problem under Pellegrini. Now everyone talks about how "We just need to Gel, then we'll do better magic than anyone". See that is totally true but Pellegrini's policy will not help the players Gel. I don't care what people say but this is a fact. The only way we can play together better as a squad is if we have the same starting lineup for a whole year....ATLEAST.
I'm not running into conclusions but I'm waiting this out. If we manage to raise a trophy or 2 this season then I'll be really happy but I see it very unlikely with Pellegrini's policy.
Can anybody tell me in detail what happened with CR9 and Granero exactly?Cause I couldn't watch the game. And this was what I was scared about Ronaldo...not his football ability..
Reply to Daniel:
don't worry about CR9 he just looked angry after being subst. he always is, also in manchester.. he didn't look at pelle when he was changed..I prefer a player who wants to play over one who says we are up 3:0 I want to relax..as I said it was the same in manchester, so no problem..
I have found nothin about granero and I didn't notice something yesterday..
Reply to Madrid4Life:
Pellegrini has a starting XI, he just can't keep on playing it when we're playing 3 games a week, can he? Pellegrini justs says those things to make the fringe players feel confident and assured of their chances. We had to do some extra rotation yesterday because of Sergio Ramos' strain and the team's fatigue.
From what I can see, Pellegrini's starting XI is a 4-2-1-3, even if the basic formation is a 4-4-2. They line up like; Casillas, Ramos, Pepe, Albiol, Marcelo, Lass, Xabi Alonso, Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema, Raul. Lass and Alonso form a double-pivot while Benzema drifts to the right wing and lets Kaka play in the center with Raul the sole striker up front and Ronaldo doing his thing from the right-wing. I'd much rather see Higuain playing but Pellegrini likes Raul more for the time being.
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
Benzema drifts to the left-wing*
Reply to Madridista09:
Him and Opare have really been left in the cold. Both of them have immense potential and we need to exploit that.
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
what about Enzo?
What I read? Kaka and Ronaldo annoyed by rotating system? And so it starts. I hate it when players go to media to spit shit. Unsatisfied this early, blistering egos. And Granero also acting up...
Reply to Trunks:
would u please give us concrete information? as far as I know kaka says he always wants to play, but accepts that his body needs a break, I only see media trying to create trouble, but no negative comment was made ( or I haven't heard one)..and CR7 acted the same in manchester, but it was obviously no problem..
Reply to Trunks:
So Pellegrini is already under the hammer. I knew we needed a high profile coach who cud handle the egos. This is all becuz of Valdano. That idiot was the one who recommended him to Perez. Says he is the 'Arsene Wenger of la liga' ! Yeah sure like Wenger has won a league title in the last 6 yrs. Stupid fool! He thinks he knows much about futbol, but infact he doesn't. This guy gets under my nerves- especially the way he treated Robben & Huntelaar!
(I read this somewhere)
I want to tell u 1 thing about Pellegrini: I read on Marca that this guy played 36 different starting XI's in 38 games last yr. LOL! Now that's not good for a team to gel.
And where's the 'one-touch' futbol that we all were promised?? All I see is our players' individual brilliance, no team-work or anything. I want to know what this coach is doing except picking the team for the match?
Visca Madrid!!
Reply to ludwig Hasbauer:
He spoke out he's against the rotating system. Those are matters he should discuss with the coach. Period. It's Pellegrini's decision. I expected some of the big players to be critical this season, but this is way too early and the wrong way to do it.
Big players should behave like ambassadors for the sport. These egos could learn a thing or two from Xabi and Casillas.
I'm stunned by Granero (but is it the entire story?) and I expected Ronaldo to be like this, just not this early.
Reply to Daniel:
That Granero needs to go back to Getafe! 'Cuz he isn't too happy playing sub to Kaka & co. He is gonna destroy the harmony of the dressing-room!
The thing which took place was this: Granero played SHIT in the 1st half, provided no service to the forwards, so Pelle had to sub him during the HT. But guess what, El Pirate has a BIG EGO, and packed his bags & left the Bernabeu to go to his home then & there, didn't even stay to watch the match!
Now that certainly justifies some DISCIPLINARY action IMO!!
SHAME!!
Now I'm remembering Valdano's words about our Castilla not being RM quality, maybe that idiot was right after all!
Reply to Trunks:
Yeah I'm worried we are gonna have one of those spells like last yr where we lost 3 in a row in la liga & twice to Juve in CL, unless the team 'gels' soon!
Reply to Trunks:
Sincere advice to Pelle about the rotation system- The ROAD TO HELL is paved with good intentions mate!!
Reply to Trunks:
I want to read it..he has not said he's against it..
AS headlines: "Kaká cuestiona las rotaciones"
this means that because of his great play kaka shows that we shouldn't rotate, not that he says: I am against it..
we have won every game so far, and you critisice our coach..something is wrong in this world..
Granero didn't leave at half time, it says he left one minute before the end of the game we don't know why so it's hard to come out and say he has a big ego what if he had a family emergency or wanted to get treatment on a injury, or maybe he was just mad at the way he played. It's hard to judge him on no information we don't know exactly what happened. He has been playing well and one game doesn't make him a bad player and a disruption to the team. "Pellegrini quitó importancia al suceso y reconoció que no sabía que uno de sus jugadores, Granero, se marchase del Bernabéu cuando quedaba un minuto para el final del partido tras ser sustituido en el tiempo de descanso."

that ronaldo thing can be a good thing tho proves that he wants to show the world what hes worth..pelle said no comment about the granero thing so dont know what realy happend but remember what granero said before.." i didnt even think twice about signing for madrid" he even took a pay cut to play for madrid...this is so unlike him that he does this but we still dont know what really happend...some of these press are making up storys now..cuz obv if you pay that much for players your obv gona get criticise for everything ..even if your won 5 games in row conceded the most less goals and scored the most and you are top of the league...who ever is dissn pelle already is a big f**king loser! and does not have a clue about football! ronaldo did this al the time at man united and it didnt affect anything hes a hard worker and wants to score everygame unlike some players we had for the past few seasons who did not care about what shirt they had on and what they had to do on the pitch they "bottled it" last season against barca and liverpool but this season we have the team to kill! who are fearless! but still working to be a team! imgn what madrid is gona be like when they all play together as a team and WELL! i would feel sorry for the teams who play them on the day madrid really turn up! halla madrid
oh yeah i was checking the goal.com comments out and most of the people are saying on that "la liga is shite" and its only two team league well yeah thats true BUT if you put madrid and barca in any other league in the world right now i think if they play well they would beat anybody...i dont see no other team with a squad or a team like madrid and barca... and other thing is teams in EPL get more money from tvs and that but in la liga small teams have to loan players and make them come through the youth and that but EPL they all buy from other leagues they have more money thats why its more of a challenge for the top 4! we would have a top four if valencia and sevilla or ATH madrid had the same amount of money as arsenal do and chelsea and liverpool ..thats why there top four is more equal! even tho valencia are broke i would still think they have a pretty good team! who would give liverpool and arsenal a good match..they have more money in the league but in la liga only the top 2 have the money! and thats a fact! so fuck the EPL! viva LA LIGA

Reply to W335Y09:
Goal.com is fun for reading rumors but the people who comment there don't know shit. EPL fans should look at their own stinking league for once where the same Top 4 has been there since I don't know how long. La liga's Villareals and Atleticos are much better than EPL's Tottenhams and Aston Villas. When teams like Liverpool and Man Utd come up against the likes of Villareal and Atletico, they struggle, that says a lot. EPL fans are just jealous that most of the greatest players in the world are now in La liga. We have Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka, Villa, Silva, Benzema, Casillas, Xavi, Iniesta and Xabi Alonso while all they have are Rooney, Torres, Gerrard, Lampard, Drogba, Fabregas and Arshavin.
Reply to themadridguy:
hey...this guy's still young..and everybody can make mistakes...days before the game everybody was saying the opposite about him. And just as everybody said...he might have left for personal reasns.
As far as "BIG EGO" goes...be careful what you say, cause Ronaldo isn't an better, on the contrary, and from what I'm seeing what happenned yesterday proves it.
Reply to los_galacticos:
i will say both kaka and xabi alonso are equally important in their respective roles. without kaka, our attack will be stuck, but a guy like alonso is someone we've been looking for. he is able to maitntain the balance of the team and is able to connect defense and attack. that's something kaka can't do.

and the rotation system has nothing wrong so far, it gives key players enough time to rest. we struggle at the 1st half because our new built team still can get used to play without kaka.

Reply to Daniel:
you are right on granero's thing, but u gotta be fair on judging Ronaldo too. u said El Pirate is "still young" but how old is ronaldo?? is he much older than Pirate??? they both are our players and need our support. We shouldn't critisize them like this with some "small" stuffs like this. u say anything when u weren't not actually there and knew what those players are thinking. They can be upset by their own performance and don't make our silly conclusion while we don't know shit about what actually was happening there. CR9 isn't my favorite player but i don't care about any bad news around him if he keeps on playing in this level. He deserved a lot of credit on the pitch even though he didn't score yesterday. don't be too biased and subjective. even Granero had a bad game, i still think he deserves more chances. we all should care about what is going on "ON THE PITCH", but not those meaningless shit "OFF THE PITCH".
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
Well my point was precisely that...if they did similar things..they shouldn't be treated any difrently from one another. Los Galcticos was only critising Granero...and I think it wasn't fair.
I'd also like to add something about the "meaningless" off the pitch. What happens off the pitch determines HEAVILY what happens on it. Just look at Rijkaard's final year at Barcelona and you'll get what I'm saying, the same team that had just won the champions league.
Reply to Daniel:
did u witness "visible" evidence ON THE PITCH yet?? if not, don't make a rush to conclude anything with ur own assumption. Only critisizing Granero is unfair. but it's true that Granero didn' t play well in that game. i said "meaningless" because u make ur conclusion way too early. there is nth taken place yet. CR9 's performance is consistently well in the games he played so far. let me tell u what, i will say it's totally "meaningless" to use his attitude as ur evidence to argue that he will ultimately affect the team or sth. what makes u worried?? from his Man Utd dayz??? he seemed to be a what so called "trouble maker" when he was in Man Utd but he was also playing outstanding ON THE PITCH. i rather have a "trouble maker" who can play in his level than some "decipline" 2nd tier player.
Reply to Daniel:
if u are talking about Ronaldinho and his last year in Barca, i will tell u that is a totally different senario. at least, I have NEVER seen any visible sign indicating CR9's decline in physical level. u are just picking on some totally meaningless thing to critisize one who plays good on the pitch while still kissing some folks like gago's ass.
Who else is tired of Raul playing in the starting XI each match???
I propose we play the 4-5-1, 'cuz in the 4-4-2 we don't have control of the midfield:
Casillas
Ramos Albiol Pepe Arbeloa
CR9 Alonso Lass Guti Kaka
Benz/Higain
and let Raul rot away on the bench.

Reply to los_galacticos:
we can actually tried this on the away game against sevilla. but CR9 is virtually a forward.
-----------------Casillas-------------------------
--Ramos-----Pepe------------Abiol----------???----
--------Lass----Xabi-------Guti-------------------
------------------kaka----------------------------
-----------CR9------------------------------------
------------------Benzema-------------------------
CR9 shouldn't be given a fixed position.

Dude, are u serious wanting us to lose to Marce?? Don't wish something bad dude. Very bad omen!
it's funny! when kaka is just signed at summer, some pple are saying something like "we don't need kaka because we have already had sneijder and vdv". i think the last game pretty much give these ignorances the answer. the two dutch are 1st rank attack midfiedler but kaka is way better. he is among the best. he can do something that sneidjer and vdv CAN'T DO. his game reading ability and penetrating ability are something we actually need. After the retire of Zizou, we HAVEN'T FOUND ONE REPLACEMENT UNTIL THE ACQUSITION OF KAKA. one can be considered as the true leader on the pitch. Guti did great at 07/08 but he is much less dynamic compared with kaka. the brazilian is able to control the attacking tempo and make our attack much less predictable!! that 's sth we were lacking at last 3 seasons.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
Same goes to the manager. Last season, ppl were bashing J. Ramos for not trying other players in his formation and now we have someone who do trial and error on each player, still ppl bashing on him. Well its really hard to satisfy the fans. That is why Real Madrid are different from others.
Reply to RMFantasy:
no mate, i am saying the opposite!! what i am tryna say is that some fans were too naive to think the squad we had last season is able to challange the top teams in Europe. they were satistified with the broken squad we had last season and were against the acqusition of those world class players we brought in this season.
and u are right too. real madrid fans sometimes are a little harsher but we all have the same goal. we all want our team to play good. personally, i am happy with our team now and won't judge them by one or two games(we won all them though)

It's early on in the season, and there are already some worrying signs.They are not small things, if after just a few games frustration has already set in...imagine what will happen later on.Also the link above shows that no...they already migh be being treated unfairly.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
Well..we'll have to see..I remind you that our debt stands at over 300m. Also as I said many times before Sneijder was never played in that position, so we can never say.However at inter he's doing great.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
Ronaldinho didn't play not because he declined physically, but there were other reasons, such as FAKE injuries etc...So I can't se how you consider that to be meaningless.
Reply to W335Y09:
does not all that good news bcuz it means he'll start in the sevilla game which i believe will be much difficult n we dnt need a grandpa chasing shadows in that..is certain barca we will their game against almeria so we cant afford to even draw with sevilla..sevilla plays fast game as a premier league team n are very physical which playin' raul means we'll be playin with 10-men on the picth..id rather raul strts in the CL so he can be benched in the sevilla game..
Reply to true-madridista:
how about we bench him for La Liga and CL and start him in the cup games instead
Raul needs to give it up! he's not even worth playing piggy in the middle in training games anymore.

Reply to Daniel:
it's pointless to argue as u said it's early in the season. but u pointed those what so called potnetial threats out with some silly assumption of urs and simply neglecting the winning streak we just have. it's totally unreasonable. yes, indeed, these first couple victories won't promise us nth but at least there is NOTHING wrong yet. imagine wut??? if u always ONLY know how to imagine some hypothetical thing that HAsn't been occured yet. u should go see a pyschologist and i will just judge things by the facts and results and wut i 've actually seen. keep on dreaming and cursing our team mate!!
Reply to Daniel:
let me tell u straight up on this if u are still not clear about some "obvious" thing. sneijder cannot do what kaka can do no matter what position he is playing at. at the first season he was with Schuster, he was put on the left but he was virtually merging into the middle as a attacking midfielder. he does great on simply touches and long distance striker. BUT he is lacking the ability to MAKE RUNS AND to CARRY THE BALL AROUND, OR TO PENETRATE like kaka does all the team. this makes the attacks are much easier to be predicted. i ain't judging him by his time with us, but those with AJAX, INTER(the games i 've seen so far), and NETHERLAND. he is good but NOWHERE he can be as good as kaka. cuz the brazilian is simply among the top 3. "we can never say", man, im comparing the top sneijder with the present kaka. and i still found that kaka is simply GREATER. if u still can see how much kaka contributes to the early success of our team. i doubt u know anythign about football. how important is this player for us. if kaka is played on the left, he still can adapt it cuz he has the quickness and skills that sneijder does have. that's what makes me say kaka is greater than sneijder. it doesn't mean sneijder sucks. the dutch is great, but kaka is even greater. i don't think i will be the only one even in this blog feels this way.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
and i believe perez had done the right thing in the summer. this is the only way that can rescue us from the darkness that calderon brought to us. in debt?? do we have to sell players to repay the money?? come on dude. once again u are picking on some irrelavent stuff just because u don't like policy and the galactico policy. i appreciate ur concern to the club but once again, critisize it when something really occurs. but don't provoke some "meaningless" stuff when everything is going in the right way.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
*kaka has the pace and skills that sneijder doesn't have. a playmaker might not need to contain those skills but those "additional" ability makes kaka greater than those "normal" playmakers.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
yes indeed...and also sniejder cant actually take the ball from our own half to the other teams box! he isnt as skillfull he is just a passer and shooter thats only thing he has and some of hes passes are easy passes i havnt seen him actaully open up defenses...he was good for madrid in the first season only becouse everything he shot was going in ... he doesnt controll the game hes easilyy marked and controlled by oposing players... he goes in hiding in big games! u need your big game players in big games kaka is a big game player!
Reply to Daniel:
i brought up ronaldinho thing probably i misunderstood what u said on the "barca" thing. regardless of that, the term "meaningless" i used are refering to some evidence provided by some "unreliable" source. as i said b4, i looked our team's performance on the pitch prior to EVERYTHING. the media is extremely stupid, they always like to pick on us real madrid. but ironically, there are some "real madrid" fans choosing to stand by the media's side instead of supporting the club. this is really pathetic.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
You're still no getting what I mean mate and it's getting frustrating...but I'll give it one final go. I NEVER questioned kaka's ability, on the contrary he's my favourite brazilian player. My point is this, was it worth sagrificing all that money (and Sneijder) for Kaka? Let me give you an example, I think Torres is a better attacker than Benzema. Does that mean we should bring torres and get rid of benzema/higuain? (plus the money) So is that all worth it for this improvement(kaka)? Hope you now got what I've ben trying to say mate.
Reply to W335Y09:
u are 100% right mate, some pple argue that we should have given sneijder two holding midfielders as backup. i will say it's totally wasting of space. how can a player without the ability to carry the ball needs two guys to back up??? ridiculous. does xavi need two to back up?? he holds the ball way more than sneijder does. does cesc need so?? i ain't saying sneijder is bad or anything but compare him to kaka is totally ridiculous.
he played good in inter cuz inter is the defending champ who has already had a very solid system. he is not the most impressive one though, diego milito, motta, eto, along with Maicon are also doing great. kaka is totally different. he just came to our "broken" team and rapidly being a player that we can't play without him. it 's just early in the season, the earlier he adapts to the team, the greater he shows his class.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
I'm not neglectng our winning streak,I'm not cursing the team and I'm not doing any o the stupid stuff you mentioned. However there ARE bad signs and they should get resolved quickly before they get worse, ever heard that prevention is better than cure? The way you reason things out you'll let the squad fall apart, then try to fix things
Reply to Daniel:
i appreciate ur concern mate, i can answer u with a really short one.
I WON'T go for torres because BOTH BENZEMA AND HIGUAIN HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE AT TORRES'S LEVEL. (especially benzema) and that's why we gave the greatest david villa up.
but sneijder??? he wILL NEVER BECOME ANOTHER KAKA.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
i'd never doubted about the worth or kaka. i will still go for kaka is the price is 3 sneijder. the results have already proven why im saying this. cuz kaka can bring us to another level, a level that other top teams can't reach. But sneijder can just bring us to reach anther top team's level. not the excessive level that kaka is able to bring us to.
Reply to Daniel:
fix wut??? try to concede some goals when we have a clean sheet??? try to intentionally lose some games just for fun?? i don't see anything that needs to be "cured" from the team's performance on the pitch. and for all those crap that made up by the meida, who cares. the "prevention is better than cure" theory would work for the H1N1 flu but not for football cuz i don't see anything that needs to be cured except our defense on set piece and our players' attention on recovering when dispossessing. other than these, let the story author or movie scrip writer from those newspaper compary concern. they gotta create some more stupid story to destroy our team's image otherwise they might lose job since we are having such an economic crisis.

Villa won't leave Valencia. I highly doubt it.
The closest he got to signing for another team was last summer. He has his mind set on Valencia and they wanna do something in next years CL.
regarding the sound quality of the podcast,
not easy making a podcast work with one person in Italy, Canada and the USA but we are also working on getting Adam a better internet provider
Reply to MadridistAli:
regardless to their terrible form lately, AC Milan doesn't appear to be a strong side anymore. up to now, they still have to rely on grandpa Inzaghi and veteran Seedorf to stir the team up. Nesta plays worse than a 3rd tier defender, and their transition defense is extremely horrible. the key to kick their ass: our strikers should start "defend" in their half field once they possess. Our strikers have to act as defender to chase PIRLO around and give him pressure. like Kanoute, Fabiano, and Villa did to our guti two seasons ago. once pirlo struggle, their attack will remain in a mess. i've never worried about them even though they suprisingly took down Marseille away from home. defending set piece is another key.
Reply to W335Y09:
especially Marca, pple would be interest on how good we were playing on the pitch cuz they pretty much can watch the game and judge by themselves. they are only interested on some "meaningless" stuff that has nothing to do with hte team's performance on the pitch. once the team plays bad, they are critisizing us like we were dying at the drop zone or sth. they always look down on us and don't want to see us succeed. that is fucking stupid. however, there are still some real madrid fans are provoking with this sort of unreliable source to critisize our own team just simply because they don't like Perez. these pple don't deserve to be a real madrid fan

yeah, especially when they have Pirlo as the piece taker, i don't worry about his direct strike since Saint Iker is there but i just worry our careless man-on-man marking inside the box whenever it comes to set piece. only Pepe and Albiol can't do all the job. everyone is responsible on defending set piece
