Olimpic de Xativa vs. Real Madrid C.F | Copa Del Rey | 22:00 (Local Time)| Round of 32 | 12/7/13

RM 6- Xativa 0

Bale 2 Isco 1 Morata 1 Benz 2

 

Bale, Ronaldo, Benzema and Xabi will all be rested I think.

Expect to see Jese, Morata, Illarra and Casemiro start

 

I would like to see

Casillas, Carvajal, Pepe, Nacho, Marcelo, Casemiro, Illarramendi, Bale, Di Maria, Jese and Morata.

No better time to give the kids and fringe players time, while resting the regulars.

 

REAL MADRID SQUAD:
Goal keepers: Casillas, Diego López and Jesús
Defenders: Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Arbeloa, Carvajal, Marcelo and Nacho.
Midfielders: Bale, Casemiro, Modric, Di María, Isco and Illarra.
Forwards: Benzema, Jesé and Morata.

18 players selected

 

This on BeIN Espanol and BeIN Play (their online streaming) live at 4pm. I'm sure it will be replayed on the English station at some point too.

 

It's a shame Castilla aren't in a slightly better position, could've taken one or two players and let them have a run out here.

That said Jese/Morata and Casemiro need minutes anyway.

José Luis Sánchez ‏@JLSanchez78
Gareth Bale, baja de última hora debido a un proceso gripal.

seems Bale won't be playing as he has the flu.

 

Alonso probably given the day off for paternity leave I imagine, I haven't seen any injury reports regarding him.

 

Ancelotti said that it isn't good for Xabi to be playing on artificial turf, that's why he gave him a rest.

 

Our youngsters will kill Xativa tonight

 

Casillas; Carvajal, Nacho, Ramos, Arbeloa; Illarra, Casemiro; Di María, Isco, Jesé y Morata.

 

What a lineup! Holla back Carlo

 

dat front with isco,jese and morata!

 

It is essentially our B Team in terms of Midfield/Attack.

It will be interesting to see Jese for a whole game.

 

I love it that we're giving Xabi and Bale some much needed rest

 

7 Cantero! wooooo

 

Any update on Varane? Where has he been? He should be out there

I'm sure Ramos and Di Maria don't appreciate playing with this squad

 

the lighting is awful

 

English stream, please!

 

THANX!

EDIT:

there's no commentary here and picture is awesome....really weird

 

To say that this is a snoozefest is an understatement.

 

First shot on goal/target took 24 minutes..

 

Di Maria is playing like shit.
