Re: Dortmund vs Real Madrid

Dortmund are quite a force currently and playing in their own backyard. Not a shed of doubt that they will come out victorious, the question is... by how many? I personally expect a least two goals margin, however it'll all depend on how the fans treat Götze after the latest announcement.

Real Madrid: Diego López; Ramos, Pepe, Varane, Coentrão; Xabi Alonso, Khedira; Modric, Özil Cristiano Ronaldo; Higuaín

4-3-3? both modders and ozil starting at least can expect better passing under pressure

I like the backline but should have played Di Maria over Modric.

Also I like the ability to bring on Marcelo and Di Maria if they are chancing a game. And with Dortmund having little depth it could put them over.

Stand up 8

Looks like Di Maria wasn't fit enough to play. Hopefully Modric has recovered properly since he got injured last game vs Betis.

by RealGunner Wed Apr 24, 2013 6:46 pm

Shame Benzema isn't starting but i can understand why higuain is starting

Just notice No Marcelo on the bench, is he Injured or still fat?

Great line up but we will be lacking width tho. However we will keep the ball better at least

schmelzer will be free to be average now

Yeah Angel only just arrived in Germany so this makes sense. Jose said as much that he was a doubt. Hopefully Modric does well Smile

he picked up an injury against Betis

by halamadrid2 Wed Apr 24, 2013 6:50 pm

Playing both Higgy and Benz would probably have been a better option but I can understand if he wants options from the bench

As if Di Maria stays wide anyway lol

Hopefully Angelito will be an impact sub for us.

when he doesn't have the ball he usually just waits for a xabi long ball there Laughing

Him off the bench will be great especially if we are winning

rumor has it dortmund will try to shut xabi down, how effective is that tactic usually?

Depends on how Khedira and Modric play. If they close down Xabi then one of Sami or Modric will get time on the ball.

Jose said we're prepared for it so we'll have to see what happens.

100% effective

hopefully having both ozil and modric there will mean minimum damage

That's why Modric is playing

Due to his injury.

by chad4401 Wed Apr 24, 2013 7:07 pm

even if we beat them i hope sahin as a beast game and come back to us, still think he got shafted too unfairly never really giving confidence or game time, so even as a sub i hope he looks impressive
