Re: Super Cup: Real Madrid vs Barcelona discussion - 2nd leg
Real Madrid defender Pepe will miss Thursday's Clásico Spanish Super Cup clash with Barcelona after picking up a head injury in the season's first game, coach Jose Mourinho has said.
"Pepe won't play," he told a news conference on the eve of the match against arch-rivals Barcelona at the Camp Nou. Mourinho said that if Pepe had a choice he would play, despite clashing heads in mid-air with goalkeeper Iker Casillas in the 1-1 home draw with Valencia on Sunday.
"For him yes but for us no," he added. "It is not human to risk a player for a football game, whatever the game is. So, there is no doubt either with the medical department or with the coach that Pepe will not play. He is progressing well. He is very good, he is already training. And without wanting to go too far, our feeling is that he could be there on Sunday without any risk."
Real Madrid defender Raul Albiol will play instead on Thursday, Mourinho revealed, but refused to give more details of the lineup. Pepe had to quit the field at half-time after the head clash and spent a night at a Madrid hospital, where a medical report said he arrived "in a confused and agitated state".
However, a scan revealed no serious damage and he improved overnight to show a "good level of awareness", it added.
Fans and players sent support, including rival Barcelona defender Gerard Pique who wrote on Twitter: "I have just seen the pictures on TV. They are frightening. I hope it is nothing serious and he will be able to play again soon."
Pepe sent thanks to his well-wishers in a message on the club website. "Very soon I will be in perfect shape to continue fighting for the shirt and for our club," he said.

I hope Varane and Benzema plays, I think its a bit early to start resting players though. I think Mou will play Albiol and Higuain as usual, along with Coentrao.

Barca is a monster team. to defeat them in two games you must play great at both. if we go for 0-0 with a defensive 4-3-3 we will lose.
Thank you captain obvious.... we'r not gonnna play 4-3-3

i want benzema to play, he is much better in link up play and possession retention and also in passing, and movement, and dribbling!

Re: Super Cup: Real Madrid vs Barcelona discussion - 2nd leg
a question guys. is there any specific reason why Marcelo dosn't play?
He didn't start vs Valencia and the line ups I see against us have Coentrao instead of him

Re: Super Cup: Real Madrid vs Barcelona discussion - 2nd leg
the only reason he didnt start against valencia is cause he didnt have a proper preseason with the team since he was at the olympics
so mou decided to start coentrao whom he believed was more ready
though i believe there is a possibility that marcelo might start today another reason some prefer coentrao is cause he is better defensively, as much as marcelo is the better player going forward that much coentrao is the better one defending
though last years marcelo has improved dramatically in that part too

Pepe hoofs too much against Barca anyway.
Ideally Varane would play, but Albiol will most likely be starting.

Hopefully he does. He provides more attacking wise than Coentrao.

Re: Super Cup: Real Madrid vs Barcelona discussion - 2nd leg
Yeah, but keep in mind that we don't have to win this game, I'm thinking Conetrao is gonna start, he did g00d in most of his games against Barcelona especially the last one, and Marcelo isn't that good definsivly, he might just play Marcelo in the second leg if we lose this game.
btw Marca have already stated that Conetrao will start, i cant post the link thou
