Real Madrid vs Deportivo discussion.

Sunday 30th September.

Real Madrid beat Deportivo 6-1 at the Bernabeu on 3rd October 2010.

Real Madrid drew 0-0 against Deportivo on 26th February 2011 away.

mt from now on you should write barca's fixture too in each of madrid's league match threads

won't hurt people here commenting about possibilities of the evil side to choke since they are ahead with quite a margin we need them to choke and not only once

just sayin

anyway i think this will be the first confortable win of the season

Winning the league is still largely in our hands, if we win all our remaining fixtures, Barcelona will only need to draw one other match for Madrid to win the league, I wouldn't say it is impossible.

Mourinho will rotate his sqaud a bit for this match, I can see both Khedira and Ozil starting against Deportivo. I'm tipping Benzema to start again after a brilliant showing against Rayo.

But before this match there's a Bernabeu Cup to win on Wednesday.

Any got download links for Madrid's friendly math earlier today?

Highlights of the Bernabeu Trophy.

Thank you very much. Kaka's seond goal, and Modric "assist" for callijon were the best imho.

Though the goals got me wondering, why don't madrid players try more faints, or passes when they're near the keeper? it seems they always go for the goal the moment the see the keeper, even in friendlies against week teams, in that highlight alone, Benzema could've tried to faint that on last defender before shooting, same thing with callejon, and Morata could've passed to Ozil instead of attempting to shoot from a tough angle, though he was the only one to try to faint the last defender with his first goal.

its a direct style affected by mourenho madrid, its like when u have a sight on goal, shooot, dont do other bs.

its a effective style of play. infact one of the main reasons we get goals.

You meant the backhell pass for Callejon's second? That was assist from Alex

I meant the way he let the ball pass under him, thats the kind of play I'd like us too when we're near the keeper, at least in friendlies or when go 2 or 3 goals up.

Wasn't it Distifano who said that they used to play very direct till they went 2-3 goals up, then they start tricks, faints, and one-twos to entertain the fans? I'd like us to try and play that way.

I would love to see a 4-3-3 with Alonso, Modric and Ozil in the midfield.. What are the chances of this happening lol?

Last league game before el clasico, we need to step up and perform well

anyone remember that guti backheel vs Deportivo some years ago

halamadrid2 wrote:really?? haven't really thought of that

but at least we will play the away Clasico first this time something we haven't done in ages

The last time we did was the 5 - 0 that was only 2 years ago mate. And we did play away first the 2 seasons straight prior to that.

If anything else, playing at home first became a rarity these past few years.

with CL coming up. Interesting to see who starts in this game.

i can see essien starting once again

We need a victory so all the best player should start imo.

Don't care who the hell plays.
As long as we win.

ozil to has to start

if modric is playing he has to be alongside alonso

Modric could possibly play away vs Ajax.
