RM Castilla...La Tercera Edición.[R]

In case anyone missed the Castilla celebrations:

 

Mirandes 0-3 Castilla, 6-0 on aggregate. Castilla division champs

 

Noone mentioned that our third team almost got in Segunda division B. They've lost in last playoff round against Binissalem 3-1.
You can find summary of their season here.

Does anyone know what is happening with Castilla?
Will all the players stay, is anyone bought as reinforcement? Are they looking for some stronger player to help them stay in Segunda even if he is 'old' (21-22-23) and doesn't have A-team potential or they'll stick with our youth and reinforce squad only with bright prospects?

 

From what i've read (from Marca I think it was will try to find link) Uncle Flo wants to make sure Castilla are a force next season and that they don't go down immedately.. Ruben Pardo is a name that is mentioned and a few others, I think Flo will make it competitive.

Mandi has left from Castilla and gone to Sporting on a 4 year deal.

 

Also Derik and Jose Rodriguez will both be playing for Castilla next season

 

I was looking over the Spanish U-whatever national teams and didn't see too many of our juvenil players, though there were a few. Are there any supposedly good prospects in the Juvenil pipeline?

 

Looks like despite losing the playoff, Real Madrid C will get to play in Segunda B this year. A number of clubs currently in the league were demoted for financial reasons and they asked the losers of the playoffs if they'd like to take their place and Madrid C is.

 

I only saw the highlight. Jese looked impressive.

 

Here are a few pictures we took at last night's friendly:

Also an interview with Denis after the match:

 

Forgot to mention Mosquera (first image) had a great match, Denis was pretty solid (now more of a protagonist on the team) and I really like this kid Christian (Called up from Juvenil A, hails from Peru), reminds me of Özil.

Here is the match some-up: http://www.madridismo.org/article/real-madrid-castilla-vs-getafe-b/

 

Real Madrid Castilla Vs. Alcorcón, 1-1 (Friendly, Remember Alcorcón almost made top flight this year)

English version will be up shortly.

 

Real Madrid Castilla v Villarreal exactly 24hrs away, squad has been chosen:

PLAYERS PICKED FOR REAL MADRID CASTILLA
Goalkeepers: Tomás Mejías and Pacheco.
Defenders: Fabinho, Nacho, Mateos, Iván and Casado.
Midfielders: Juanfran, Lucas, José Rodríguez, Mosquera, Álex, Quini, Omar, Denis and Borja.
Forwards: Óscar Plano, Jesé and Raúl de Tomás.

 

So Jesus and Morata not called up. I guess that confirms it.

 

About the situation of Morata and Jesús he said that "they are going to be with the first team day in, day out and with a registration to play for Castilla, so they will be with us when we the coach wants".

Castilla lose 2-1 to Villarreal.. no Morata as already confirmed.

If he doesn't make the bench for Valencia Toril has every reason to be quite annoyed.

 

Was horrid display in the second half never looked like they wanted to win tbh.

Why did it take so long to bring on Lucas as well, sigh...

 

When is the Castilla - Barca B game?

 

3PM est, almost 4 hours from now. Kooora.com always has the game times, converts it to your time zone too

 

I'll be on the sidelines for Castilla vs Barca B tonight, after the match I'll upload the photos (and videos if we interview anyone in zona mixta).

 

Wooo, 2-0

 

Just when you thought they wouldn't be able to top up Valdes's antics they pull this stunt.

 

That was like Kaka's against Man U back in his glory days no?

 

Wow, very true
