Copa del Rey pursuit

If zidane can't motivate such a young squad eager to prove themselves then I don't know where he can do that.

I obviously missed this. That has to be a lie, really, I don't wanna believe that was an actual training session. Of all the advanced cardiovascular techniques used nowadays, we went with running up a stairs? And is our issues really fitness level? I am thinking it's a motivational and tactical problem, the former being the most ironic.

ROCKYYYYY

The exercise, that looked similar to Rocky Balboa's work out, has debatable value according experts who MARCA have spoken to, with some saying it does not reflect movements on the pitch and can cause some physical strain.

It really is true. Why in the world would Zidane and his coaches think this is a good idea?

Because Zidane is an idiot and his only defender on here is a 90 year old French man

He watched Rocky over christmas and thought "hey look, Rocky did a comeback after training all over phily, maybe... "

We beat Leganes in copa so he succeeded technically

Rocky lost

Hakimi please

Bill any upcoming RB prospect we can replace Hakimi with? How about this chap Maffeo?

No, as far as I’m concerned, the academy has run dry. But in fairness neither Achraf nor Mayoral should be on this team.

A lot of players don't belong on this team... including the ones who think they do.

Someone please inform Hala that his boy Hakimi is a crock of shit. So is the majority of this team apparently.

@Hala, while you’re defending Hakimi, could you also explain what’s going on with Llorente (I put Llorente down to you, while IMO, Zidane is responsible for Hakimi and Mayoral).

Up to today, i felt in his rare appearances, he was too timid missing confidence. But his play, passes, general awaremess today is simply awful. Nothing like the player you were raving about last season.

Yea, Benzema being the first,

Lol oh god

Were about to be eliminated from the only tournament we had a chance of winning lmao

All that is left in season is the upcoming lost to PSG.

Well done!

You know, when you think you reach rock bottom, you find out there is a basement level. Sigh. What a God awful performance from this side.

How is Vasquez still on this team while ceballos is barely making the bench

And no wonder Zidane doesn't play these guys often, my goodness, Llorente was terrible and Theo looked like he now learn to run with the ball.

And Hakimi, that boy is not Madrid quality. At all. Should spend that 40 on that man from La Real and be done with it.

Re: Ceballos
He did not even make the bench.

Ceballos was injured

That was quite a speech, Zidane gave at half time!

This clown coach

So let’s see, for fire power, I will go with Benzema, who is just a game away from raking up bundle of goals, Mayoral, who just needs some more opportunities and the ever reliable Lucas. I can leave Ronaldo and Bale off squad since I won’t need them today!
