which means bayern must be solid in both wings, maybe lahm will play as LB and Martinez will fill the void, playing along side with Piggy and Kroos.
So they don't say La Bestia Negra for nothing. I'm sure Bale & fancy pants will start. Hit 'em hard and early and make them pay.
Goodness sakes, folks. Both will play, both will feature. Anything to the contrary was never an option.
This game will in part also tell us if our recent matches were due to poor form on the part of some players (Ribs, Schweini) or due to lacking motivation in thw BuLi.
That would seem the most probable result, although I have a feeling it'll be higher-scoring than that.
Madrid looks vurneable when attacked through the middle, Alonso is slow and clumsy and makes like 4,5 yellow worthy fouls almost every time they play against a strong team , so a midfield of Martinez,Schweini,Kroos will be too slow and will lack penetration through the midfield. I would play Muller or Gotze in the middle preferably Muller who always shows up in big games.But the question is if one of Gotze/Muller plays in the middle then Kroos,Schweini and Gotze/Muller will probably be too attacking, maybe the old double pivot Schweini/Kroos,Martinez.
Also with a 2-1 for Madrid but will be tight. Curious about mentality of team, both teams rather. Isco will be real trouble.
Real will run a 4-4-2 with Ronaldo and Benz up top, they need 4 midfielders like they did against Barca in the copa
