Real Betis vs Real Madrid
January 24, 2016 • 19:30 • Estadio Benito Villamarín, Sevilla
Referee: Juan Martínez Munuera
Referee: Juan Martínez Munuera
Should be an easy win, no disrespect to the great Real Betis. Z still hasn't faced a really tough team yet, that's why I'm still undecided on whether or not he has what it takes to manage a club of Real Madrid's magnitude. Everybody bar Bale is fit, and it'll be interesting to see how Z is going to line up. Just no Danilo please.
As always, the 19 players called up for the meeting as well as the probable lineup will be added to this post after Z's press conference.
Real Madrid Starting XI: Navas; Danilo, Pepe, Varane, Marcelo; Kroos, Modric, Isco; Cristiano, Benzema, James

Re: Real Betis vs Real Madrid
Line up is going to be pretty easy to predict. Ramos in for Varane and James in for Bale. Here is hoping we make even more progress in our pressing and posession play this game. I have a feeling it is going to be another 5 goal win

I say it will be Ramos in for Pepe and Jese in for Bale's spot.

If James doesnt play the press are going to get the ammunition they need to stir the pot. Not sure Zidane wants that on his 3rd game in

havent you seen the trend? If James doesnt play they will blame him for being a fat party goer who speeds away from the police and refuses to warm up properly.halamadrid2 wrote:If James doesnt play the press are going to get the ammunition they need to stir the pot.

when your coach is more popular than you, you get blamed. If you are more popular than your coach, they will him.

Re: Real Betis vs Real Madrid
If Z plays James, it won't be because he's under pressure to play him. He benched him for the two games he has been with us and nobody blamed him. Why? Cause he scored 5 goals and played well.
I don't think it has anything to do with popularity. It's solely an equation of beautiful attacking football + result. You get the two, and you can bench God if you want to.

A lil something I found on Eduardo Alvarez's twitter.
I actually remembered he had hair. And the #6 maybe Real Betis current manager.

I expect ZZ would start Navas Carvajal Varane Pepe Marcelo Modric Kroos Isco James Benzema and Ronaldo and a 2:0 win for us will do it

Re: Real Betis vs Real Madrid
Didn't Carvajal just return from injury when Zidane took over? Good idea to rotate everyone a little bit right now. Don't pull a "Carlo" and play the best XI every single game just to have injuries/burn out come end of March. Would like to see everyone get a game off or subbed early here and there.

Re: Real Betis vs Real Madrid
There's no way you can justify the selection of Danilo. Even rotation isn't a good enough reason to use such a horrendous footballer. If Z had really wanted to rotate the fullbacks, he would've rested Marcelo not Carvajal. The latter has just returned from injury and he's in god mode while the former has been playing way more than Carvajal.
This is just a poor decision from Z. You don't bench a great player in great form and play a simpleton instead just for the sake of rotation.

1-0. This was expected.
You can't build a possession team with your forwards being CR-Benz-James. Barca will and shall continue being the best possession team in the world simply because of Messi. (xavi and iniesta included aswell but they're somewhat replaceable unlike Messi) Technical players are proven to improve your possession by a million.
You need someone like Zlatan upfront to play attacking football with this team IMO. Add Pogba for defence + he's good with the ball on his feet.

Re: Real Betis vs Real Madrid
To be honest neither of the teams are passing well but my point still stands I think the team is badly built.
Kroos isn't a starter also there is a reason Pep sold him he's nothing special.

Zidane gets what he deseves. He selects a knob in defence and we concede a shite goal from his side. Also Varane needs to get his shite together. He has had a bad season so far and hasnt gotten better under Zidane

Pep's heir needs to transform Kroos into a Pivote, how long is it gonna take?

Kroos is so bad there defensively.
We need width. CR is lost cause. Now we play James there on right.

Bale is missed so badly lol .. Need actual Wenger's.. Not poachers and ams on wing.
Re: Real Betis vs Real Madrid
I think CR is fine I just wish we had someone like Zlatan instead of Benz, he just fits the team much better. There is a reason Pep liked Zlatan cuz he is hard to steal the ball from.
Kroos is our weakest player somebody was sleeping when he decided to buy a german player

In what universe is CR "fine"? You could remove him and it wouldn't make a difference. Only Benzema played close to decent in the first half. There was no attacking threat whatsoever.
