Take Kroos out at HT and play Ceballos. Take out Modric a little later too. No need to run them into the ground in games like this one.
Benzema went straight to Zidane to thank him for selecting him all these games... The French connection is still very much alive lol. Great first half, the entire team has been playing well and quick football. Apoel isn't the strongest team but for us to go over there and destroy them 4-0 in the first, we can only be happy about it. The counters are definitely quicker in this game and it's killing them. I love it. Bring on the 2nd and let's rest some players.
5-0... prediction completed. Ronaldo scored, Benzema scored, defenders scored, midfield scored... Where's YS at? lol
You know how much this was a weight on the team's shoulders because everybody on the pitch celebrated the goal.
Now, Zizou... Can you pretty please make some smart subs right about now? No sense of waiting until the 80th minute.
You guys remember what Ruud used to say: goals are like ketchup. Sometimes it doesn’t come out no matter how much you shake the bottle. And then all of sudden they flow. I hope this unclogged our system. We needed a team to take our frustrations out on. Pity it didn’t happen sooner.
This goal changes nothing really. great header but its la liga where ronaldo is having the dry spell, in CL hes top goal scorer again.
