El Pipita - Gonzalo Higuain

Then again I don't want to say "blame", because imo that isn't it:
Having a player like Ronaldo our team has a huge effect on how we play as a whole.

And it's gotten us results and sometimes it hasn't. Our mids don't creat play for our striker, it's for Ronaldo.


Ronaldo plays as LW, but his ideal approach will be to cut in to the middle and take the shot. When that happens it pushes whoever our cf is out wide whether it be left or right.

So it's only natural our strikers would suffer and also get the blame for not scoring,contributing much, etc

Benzema suits our style more than Higuian merely because he can stop,turn,and dictate play up top much better than Higuian. Higgy once played like a winger, at River Plate, he play more as rw/ram.

Ronaldo will get the goals no doubt, but unless a coach comes in and purposely tries to instill a new game style/formation we will be stuck with the same football again.

Gonzalo Higuain has never been treated the way he deserves at Real Madrid, according to the player's father Jorge.

El Pipita has been at the club since 2007 but with his future now likely to be elsewhere, Higuain Snr expressed his views about his son's time at Santiago Bernabeu, including allegedly broken promises being made to the striker.

"For a year the club has promised a renewal of his contract," Jorge Higuain told AS.

"There have been meetings with Jose Mourinho and Florentino Perez, but nothing. In nine months there has never been a call, and that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

"In seven years the boy has never been protected as he deserves. He has behaved excellently but now enough is enough and he wants to leave."

With regards to his next destination, Jorge says he wants his son to join a club where he will feel loved.

He added: "Juventus and Arsenal have been in contact, and he wants to go to a team in Europe where he is a main player and is shown affection."

The former River Plate forward Higuain has scored an impressive 122 goals in 262 appearances for Madrid in all competitions.

Benz was only fat in Mou's first 3 months and that was because of the previous year... he was still shedding the weight from then. He hasn't had any fitness issues for over 2.5 years. This myth has to stop. Criticize him all you want for his first year at Madrid and that's fair. But since, you cannot get on him for his lack of commitment... he's been a pro.

i dont know to be honest. In the games he looked a bit chubby but benz has the biggest weight deception.. looks like muscle to me

Lol i change my mind sport. An algerian fat? you'll never find one

This is from about 4 weeks ago...

And this is from June 6, 2013 magazine cover in France:

the fat and lazy cards is all the haters got left. and it isn't even true anymore but still say it anyway, while higs got bloated and started throwing temper tantrums my bad i mean passion tantrums

Both our CFs got shafted this year... both were lied to in order to keep them here together for one more year. I don't blame Higuain's entourage for being angry. But they made their point now. If i were them, i'd wait and see if Madrid sells Higuain properly at this point. Once there's only 30 days left in the mercato and if he's still at Madrid, then i'd make noise.

But for now, better to let things happen and avoid controversy. In the end, it won't help Higuain. The less noise, the better for everyone involved.

if hig goes who are you guys going to get? falcao is gone, naymar is gone, lewi is going to bayern. your only top class option is cavani...and you are battling with chelsea/mancity for him. in addition is madrid even interested in cavani? i do not here any links.

Suarez is still a possibility.

Oh god pls no

If we're going to get Suarez, we might as well keep Benzema.

If Benzema can shape up over the Summer and get a good run going in the team next season, he can be just as good if not better.

If we are to get a striker, it should be a finisher like Cavani.

Suarez is a good catch. At least you'll have a decent player for next season.

Barca are miles ahead of you guys its not even funny anymore.

Because?
They signed Neymar?

This season merely counting H2H, would debunk your statement.

Barca are way more disciplined, way more coherent, much much more talented than your squad. Mourinho's gone now, what are you going to do? Sure he broke Barca's dominance and you might think that your team holds a slight advantage, but that wont last long.

Neymar is a beast. He will again enrich Barca's chances to conquer La Liga for a second straight year.

how do you break barca dominance when they win the league twice out of 3 against you? pls go

I don't want to use this season as a standard or representation of how we are as a team. We will bounce back for sure, because no one wants a repeat of what happened.

Better football,less politics, less drama, and a team with a sense of direction for this upcoming season. We have removed the stigma that we are "inferior" to Barcelona and that will show during this coming season again.


Neymar, may be a beast like you said, but that doesn't change anything until they play against first.

By disrupting their game play, stopping their high profile players and beating them at Camp Nou more than once.

My friend, with this squad and Captain you are not winning any silverware. You just dont have it in you. The squad is so one dimensional you cant even see it. Take it from a former Madrid Fan.

You will will still make second because La Liga is a two horse race but is that really an improvement?

Now that said, i sincerely wish you all the best.

bla bla bla, bottom line is that they still enjoyed more domestic dominance than us, so he failed. dont try to sugarcoat it.

They did because they are arguably the best team to play football or at least one of the best. You got one La Liga and three CL semi finals something which you may not enjoy in the near future.

he did it and he couldnt sustain it because his man management skills are horse arse. we have won 9 CLs lol, we demand quality and actual wins, not cl semis losses. he flopped, if the others after him cant do it, they will be flop too, as the ones before him.

nothing to do with man management skills; some people just wont listen no matter what.
