"Yes, the Standard Buy-Back Clause is Included" - Real Madrid Loan Watch Thread

This time a lower rating. H"veen was struggling in this match. Excelsior Rotterdam is a tiny weeny little club with a budget you lot have for goal posts. But our upper teams always have a hard time in that little stadium. Plus they play there on artificial grass, which isnot great for players used to real grass.
AD Sportwereld rating:
Excelsior – SC Heerenveen 1-2
Excelsior: Kristinsson 5,5; Karami 5,5, Mattheij 6,5, De Wijs 6, Massop 6; Faik 6, Koolwijk 6, Messaoud 5,5 (63. Fortes -); Caenepeel 5 (85. Vermeulen -), El Azzouzi 5,5, Bruins 6,5 (75. Van Duinen -).
SC Heerenveen: Hansen 6,5; Dumfries 5,5, Høegh 5,5, Pierie 6 (86. Naess -), Woudenberg 6; Schaars 6, Thorsby 6 (67. Rojas -), Kobayashi 6; Ødegaard 5,5, Ghoochannejhad 5,5, Zeneli 6,5 (82. Veerman -).
Arbiter: Lindhout 5
Man of the Match: Op de doelpuntenproductie van Arber Zeneli was de voorbije seizoenen regelmatig kritiek. De buitenspeler kwam in de eredivisie nog nooit boven de zes treffers in een jaargang uit, maar staat nu na vijf duels op twee goals. De Kosovaar mag dan niet altijd op het scorebord verschijnen, voor dreiging zorgen doet hij vrijwel wekelijks. Was met drie schoten op doel en drie keypasses ook weer de gevaarlijkste speler aan Friese zijde.

Agreed I really like his football, seems to really know what he is doing

 

Kroos' heir or Casemiro's?

 

Federico seems to have a similar style to Kovacic. Very good prospect

 

Llorente renews until 2021 - good news, was starting to get worried he was gonna jump ship at the end of the year due to PT. Does the kid have his own thread, and I've just missed it?

From what I've seen of him, I think this is the best description. His touch and passing ooze class and he always looks very composed even when pressured. But he does have a bit of pace about him as well, which serves him well, but it's not a key part of his game, more like a nice added touch that makes him a really well rounded player.

 

Voetbal International on the other hand rated it with a 7.

They are now second, behind PSV and the only team still unbeaten.

Not the first time this happened.

 

Is he really our third choice in the first team, from what little I've seen of him, he hasn't inspired confidence at all

 

It's not like he conceded a goal, bunch of haters just looking to take indirect shots at the club and coach. If his name wasn't Zidnae nobody would care but now people want to make it seem like the club engages in favoritism and nepotism, top to bottom.

 

Wow, horrible.

 

.....whoooooshhhh....

 

Horrible decision. I can't imagine how hard it is for these kids trying to live up to their fathers name. Even if it's not their goal to become world class, people still expect that of them.

 

If it was really that hard for him, then he could have taken his mom's last name for football or decided not to be the 3rd choice for RM when he obviously isn't good enough.

 

I don't feel sorry for them. Yes its unlikely to live up to Zidane but even Ronaldo, despite the Pichichi's and Balon d Or's, struggled to cement his legacy until he added the CL(s) and Euro. Those are not goals but dreams, and damn near impossible to fulfill.
