    There are only two aspects of his game which I think he should work on- one is his finishing. The other is at times, he just looks disinterested and totally indifferent- recent example being the second leg vs BvB. He does not have a dirty side to his game ( which is very refreshing , but also a necessity), he needs to add that set of skills, he hardly ever gets into the nerve of a defender, I can't remember him drawing a penalty or getting a player sent off . When he is having an off day, he needs to work in these aspects so that he can add something for the team .

    Alaba is very good positionally and technically plus he's very quick, quicker than Maicon was at that time that's for sure, not impossible but I can't see it

    Bale has played top against a lot better players than Maicon, and on that night he played the entire Inter team by himself, not just Maicon.

    Thats a pretty good observation. The guy has a tendency to stay on his feet at all costs. I love that about him, that he's not a cheater like 99.9% of the players nowadays, but it takes skill to know when to fall down and win a penalty in case there is contact. As for finishing, I wouldn't worry about it. The guy is not a poacher, but his shooting is top notch, both power and placement. Very dangerous in that regard.

    Both Ronaldo and Bale have cannons we need a striker who can poach goals and tap in from close range. Benzema doesn't do this well because he's simply not aggressive enough. No tiene ganas. It seems however that all the criticism is finally beginning to provoke him because he has shown improvement in that regard.

    While Benzema is doing well at this moment, I am not sure if he deserves a new or I should say improved contract.

    We're not letting him walk away for free so he is definitely getting a new contract.

    How Andrea Pirlo wanted to play for Real Madrid
    Here is an extract
    "They must have thought that beating France in the final had fried my brain, but there was something they didn't know. They were missing a vital piece of the story, namely that as things stood, I belonged to Real Madrid, not Milan. I was a Madrid player in my head, my heart and my soul. I had a five-year contract sitting waiting, and a salary that was out of this world."

    We'd be idiots not to renew him. If we don't we not only lose the player we get nothing in return for him. Renewing him at best means we keep the player and he grows to be great at worst means we sell him for a big price and get a good return.

    Some of us have to be realistic here. How many strikers are doing better than Benzema right now? Most of these guys aren't in blazing form knocking them in like Cristiano and messi.

    When discussing current form of strikers there is basically Suarez, Ibra. After that is the next group which Benzema is certainly a part of.

    We will give him new contract for sure. Given his age and performance, he will demand a better contract. Are we willing to offer him a contract that he cannot turn down? Will he accept the terms that we offer him?

    And he should get a "better" contract, when have you ever heard a player renewing for the same wages? He is going to get an increase and he wants to stay. In the off chance he refuses we'll sell him this summer though but we're not letting him walk away for free.

    Well he is at a point in his career where he needs to play as much as possible to get better. ~500 minutes a season at Madrid might not be in his best interest.

    He deserves a raise and extension because he is instrumental for the way we play in attack.

    Also, big NO to selling Casemiro!

    Hazard is great, but he can't replace Modric. The article seems to be BS.

    It's BS on the basis they think Modric is unhappy in Spain. Stopped reading at that point.

    The actual news is that Luka's family is not happy in Madrid, not Luka himself.

    Already popped up in redcafe they are talking about signing him xD oh so funny!

    Preach brotha...Preach!

    Yeah, I'm in 100% agreement with you. He is a foundational piece in this attack at the moment. The team is not the same with him off the pitch. For some odd reason, he has better control and ball retention than anybody else on the pitch with the exception of Modric/Isco, plus he is learning how to use his size and strength better. He holds up the ball and creates an attack. Like a fulcrum for this team.

    Modric may be the most important player on this team. He is absolutely incredible. How can the guy hold on to the ball while surrounded by 3 opposing players in close quarters? I feel more comfortable with Modric on the ball surrounded by 3 than by any other player "surrounded" by 1 opposing player, maybe with Isco the exception.
