Ya awful shot! But the passing leading up to it was simply fantastic especially considering we are still basically in pre-season mode.
It wasn't even tested last night. I'll wait for a tougher game to judge that. I have a feeling they are going to get overrun. I expected a much better game from Sevilla, they were already lubed up for us.
Atleti should provide us a good insight next week , one of our persistent weaknesses / discomfort have been against teams which press incessantly ( Bilbao , BvB , Atleti ) , I think Isco is a better fit in the midfield than Hames though and should start next week .
Patheti will give a much better/annoying performance. They lost big but also brought big this season and I see Mandzukic being a pain in the ass for us. Heck he even has the same attitude as Costa
Trivia : The last time Real Madrid won the UEFA Super Cup, they also went on to win the Intercontinental Cup (CWC) and La Liga in the same season (2002/03).
Xabi will come in against tougher midfields. James will rotate further up probably. Illarra will rotate. The thing is I think khedira suits the system better and is a better option to rotate. I hope Illarra can prove his true worth this season.
I know the kid is not gonna play with them, but why did he give him just one glove?? Little strange. Still very nice gesture.
But not the CL. If I knew that losing all these minor trophies would mean winning consecutive CLs, I'd take that.
I'm sure a keeper like Iker has his gloves custom made. Just like how many field players' boots are custom. It could be that he has a "bad" finger, and the glove he kept has extra padding or something.
Still buzzing after that game, some of the best football I've watched us play. The passing is so slick and the pace we have is just awesome to watch. Everyone cares and works their heart out. Just love this team, great line up. Iker was great too, huge save after james' mistake. Angel in for James atm and we have a lineup that will eat other teams. Last of all KROOS, what a ********ing player, love him. Everything from his touch, range on passes and his left hand when he passes the ball. My new favourite player,try to emulate my style to his
The best part of that is the sister trying to steal it, the kid not understanding what is going on, and the dad just in shock, nodding his head, saying, "he has Casillas' glove"
