With Kroos or Modric behind him, he could be more instrumental in the final third, Real's inexistence MF led him to be more sensible to help the team progressing the ball from the back. It's like he himself carrying a whole Real's midfield.

 

The hype on this lad since the friendly has already gone through the roof. Look at the RM forum even.

I suspect he'll get 1st team game time this year + maybe a couple cup games.

 

Yep, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication afterall.

 

Kubo has said he feels good in midfield and everywhere else, but I hope he'll soon get some playing time in a more offensive position though.
To show what he's really capable of.

In the meantime, he has caused mass hysteria lol.

 

I thought that was a great debut, he was neat, tidy, showed great touches, wasnt afraid to take players on either. For only 18 its just crazy, the fact he is winning over fans so quickly, the coaches too, its all quite amazing really, even spanish media are raving about him

I really hope he gets a couple of goals in pre season, that would really put a spanner in the works if he continues at this level, but the thing is he can play even better than he did there!

part of me kind of hopes he does stay at castilla as he will play week in week out which means more wonderful highight reels for us!

<< I want to be an example for japanese football. Zidane has told me to be self-confident and to be present in the last 30 meters to finish the actions. >>

 

What's this sheet?
I'm shocked.
Is Zinedine Zizou Zidane RM manager or some sort of Allegri with a mask?
I missed the game but from these highlights it seemed Kubo played as a CM or DMF ala Hasebe.
I know that this is only a friendly but it's utterly stupid waste a pure talent as him in a spot like this.
Despite all this he was fine, probably more then fine if we take in account he was out of role.

 

Yeah its odd as he says that Zidane told him to be present in the last 30 meters but he was playing really deep at times, althought he was a key figure in linking midfield and getting up the pitch, so either he wasnt listening to zidane (lol) or hes muddled up his duties in his quote

 

#Marca | Kubo is a phenomenon. His great performance against Bayern Munich would make the leaders of Real Madrid think about his place in Segunda B with the Castilla. It is not at all excluded that the Japanese take a place in Team A from the beginning of the season. pic.twitter.com/Kcgpi19HfH

I know he's not a no-UE spot but Bale leaving RM can be a good news for Kubo chance to play for RM since this season?

 

Bale ain't playing at RM stay or go I think. They want him out.

 

To push Bale out... I know it's not the main reason, but it might have played a role.

 

Not that bad.

Takefusa Kubo has asked the media horde covering his Real Madrid arrival to give him some space "until I become a big player."https://t.co/q3vOmPEniJ

That was amazing, he really is becoming the shining star of Real Madrid this pre season.

Eden who?

 

Zidane says he hasn't decided yet whether on Rodrygo & Kubo with respect to their roles in the first team or Castilla. Only after returning back to Madrid will he make a decision.

And I just worried about Japanese media hype machine.
The Spanish one is also tremendous. Don't push too much pressure on a 18 years old kid.

 

In Japan he's bigger than Miyaichi was in his golden years? (Arsenal hype + Rotterdam first season hype + Zac Japan call + Youngest ever with JNT jersey?)

About RM I think they are desperately in search for a new star after Ronaldo left. They tried Hazard but it seems Kubo is giving the media more stuff to BS on.

 

Tonight vs Arsenal. Let's hope he will impress again.

 

0 minutes for him...

 

used almost every sub but him lol

then again rodrygo didnt get on and he was also their best player in the 2nd half last game, wouldnt read too much in to it.

I think kubo should stick to castilla and light it up there

 

About the team...

Cruciate ligaments rupture for Asensio.

But Bale should leave anyway.
