Perfect response from the team, shows character. It says a lot that I have enjoyed this "B-team" more than the regular one this season, we have a great group of players. Let's just get it done! Isco, Kova and Asensio are just unbelievable as well. Morata has deserved a starting spot the whole season, because he actually scores and works hard. I'd say, let Isco and Morata finish the season as starters and win the double. Glad Varane was back, great return.
Leathal Weapon 5. In case of BBC, there would be 4 players crammed in the box waiting for cross, while central midfield would be a ghost town.
Very refreshing performance & win. Zizou needs to learn & learn fast. These "subs" give me great confidence in being able to squeeze out that Liga title. Good win, such a relief.
http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2017/04/27/primera/1493289245_952486.html?autoplay=1 We covered a league high of 114km yesterday, tied with our performance away to Leganés. Our third best was in the first round against Sociedad with Kovacic, Morata and Asensio alongside Bale. The two other time we've covered over 110km were also under rotation: The first encounter with Depor without the BBC and with Asensio, James, Isco and Morata and the recent visit to Sporting where we rotated heavily.
The biggest take from the match was how everyone works for everyone and how everyone celebrates each other's goal than having a sulking superstar who goes insane only when he scores . This bunch loves playing football, they enjoy playing it. Give them a run of a few months, I am sure they would do even greater things, we have a generation which can be similar to the Barca generation that not only won but pulverised teams playing super sexy football. Don't remember the last time I watched such fluid attacking football with so much flair .
I WILL BE AT THE BERNABEU SATURDAY FOR THE GAME AGAINST VALENCIA 8!!!!88!!! Sorry for the ABUNDANT caps, but how does one genuinely express his excitement online.. (without infracting) woohoooo
Joy to watch, but looking at it again, there is no penetration until Kovacic dribbles past five defenders and then flicks a throughball between two more.
Yesterday's game tied our record this season for most Km ran, 114km. The other 114km game was against Leganes where the subs also started. The players who ran the most were Lucas (12.83km) , James (11.71km) and Kovacic (11.01km) .
Im tired of this "theory" which keeps getting repeated. Isco didn't jump for joy after a teammate scored a ball which he woukd have scored yesterday.... didnthat make him a villain?? So much of this stuff is created in your minds and isn't reality.
It ain't a theory, it is a fact . The verve that is around the players when the "B" team is playing is nowhere to be seen when the Gala XI plays , I guess that is as obvious as it gets .
Right now our best XI is Keylor; Carvajal, Nacho, Varane, Marcelo; Casemiro, Kroos, Isco; Ronaldo, Morata, Asensio. That needs to be what we start against Valencia at the weekend.
No it is not a fact. It is an assumption made which seems to only be made with one player. It's a false narrative. Look at the replay of Lucas goal. Lucas hops in front of Isco and scores. Isco doesn't really get excited to celebrate. No one notices this and no one bashes Isco because there isn't this false narrative that suggest Isco isn't happy unless he is the one scoring. There is however a bullshit narrative with Cristiano though. Had Cristiano had Isco's same response peoole would be attacking him for it. That is bullshit and it is all invented within the people who "see it".
Isco didn't even celebrate his own goal. I can see where people are coming from about the Ronaldo not a team player narrative but he has toned it down spectacularly this season. The fact that he isn't obsessing about playing just so that he can win the golden boot is a good testament of that.
