If we play a trident with Camavinga, Ceballos and Jude. Fede at RB. We will win. If Carlo gets scared and runs back to that basic as 442 he plays forcing four midfielders into awkward roles with no true width and Vini partnering Mbappe we will struggle.
Last time they lost a game this season was in September and they've won the last 9 in a row. Gonna be a tough one that's for sure. By the way they have 2 more points than Napoli and if the latter lose against Lazio they'll remain at the top of the table.
Could essentially get Madrid knocked out of the CL in the group stages. Imagine how humiliating it will be for the team. Thanks Florentino and the board for singularly tunnel visioning Mbappe for 7 years straight and ********ing up a winning formula by introducing a flaccid turtle. Zero ********ing depth.
It is doubtful that we're going to be in the top 8 even if we win all 3 remaining games, but Atalanta pretty much secure their own place because their next opponent is Sturm Graz and 17 points are enough. I think Liverpool, Inter, Barcelona, Dortmund will be there, as will Arsenal most likely.
I laugh because it's Pippy and I know it hurts his coke addled brain. Frankly I couldn't care less if someone mocked Ancelotti on the street, but I'd wager he wouldn't try to act like a tough guy. He'd probably pop a tic-tac and walk away.
"Just because you lost" is where the clip begins, not everything that happened. He'd most likely try to teach him manners. That's what it's all about.
Tchouameni, Camavinga, Valverde, Bellingham. Tchouameni is being panned but he's defensively our most productive player, both in tackles and interceptions and wins aerial duels convincingly. I'm a believer in his potential and think he's not being utilized correctly/is being given too much of a radius. Between those four you don't have a single defensively bad player (all of them record tackles and interceptions every single week), have two proven goal scorers in Varverde and Bellingham, a true midfield engine in Camavinga and an athletic defensive foundation in Tchouameni. Ceballos doesn't provide any end product. He's average defensively and relies on overcommiting with tackles and barely registers any interceptions due to lack of athleticism, zero goals, zero assists, zero key passes. He is an empty calories player, he really looks good doing nothing. That's the reason he hasn't won a key role at Arsenal or Madrid. Coaches see him and see the fundementals but then see him walk into the field and do nothing that helps the team, he just keeps it simple and doesn't make any big mistakes but It's better to make mistakes than to be a net zero every day.
A company i did a coaching seminar with sent me an early access link to a predictive AI software model that creates gameplay and player patterns based on recorded data. The future of sport is quite scary.
I am 100% convinced that the extention was a gimmick/publicity play to quiet the departure rumors and that he's out at the end of the season no matter what. Newcastle also somehow running in place. Not quite what the fans imagined, but the Premier League really did everybody in with the financial rules.
we’ve watched this lineup how many times already with Fede/Tchoumeni playing togethe and it’s been absolute dross between the two of them in regards to ball progression. I dont have the stats in front of me but if Tchoumenis primary responsibility is defense, he sure makes many positional mistakes and lacks effort at times.
He still records the best defensive stats out of all midfield players. A 4 man midfield is a necessity for me, a 3 man midfield is something I simply don't think is good enough with this group.

Clear penalty not awarded to Betis Edit: Penalty awarded and yellow but it should be a red card, I don't understand why it wasn't given
