You misunderstqnd me. What I mean is a tough win. To get Perez a bit nervous and to put some oldies on the bench and give the talents the chance
Anyone know whether US or UK what channel the game will be shown? UK is not showing on ITV due to showing Barca yesterday.
Hoping we aren’t any good so we spend more money to make us good rather than hoping we are just good enough in the first place.
Marca and AS having us lining up a 442 Seems to be a toss between Jovic and VJ (I’d play Jovic) I’d also drop Varane for Militao
Welp not sure who’s going to move the ball in midfield.... James may need to enter at some point . Anyway, hope we crush Celta.
Man, lets think a bit about destiny. Last year, Vinicius only played because of his teammates' injuries, him took the chance and shined becoming a starter and deservedly called for Brazil squad until him get hurt too. This year, Real Madrid brought Hazard, a top-5 world class and Vinicius was forced to change position (And had a lot of difficulties), and then, one day before the season starte...Hazard (unfortunally) get hurt too, and, again, the Left Winger position called for Vini, this is destiny. Good luck in this match, my friends.
Unfortunately with no new additions, and the two who could've potentially broken into the line-up (Llorente and Ceballos) having left the club, there was little surprise. James is not going to play his first minutes as a starter in our first official game of the season and being away from him. Hopefully he gets a 25 minutes run during the game to "warm him up"
It's actually a good sign in my opinion that Bale is starting. It shows that Zizou doesn't discard players completely and means it when he says he "still counts on everyone in the squad"......It means that it's perfectly possible for James to work himself back to the heart of this team. I'm no big fan of Bale...but this allays my fears about Zidane's stubbornness a bit lol
Interesting. I wonder if Bale has put his head down and worked his way back into the team ( a la Beckham) or whether Zidane has told the other players to spoon-feed him a hat trick if possible today to up his value.
