What will be the starting lineup and setup for Real Madrid 2013-14?

BarcaLearning wrote:I thought Ozil more or less played a flexible role and so often drifted to the wings to overload one side though under Mou. His best position is this? Floating around or just being a no.10 in the middle maybe?

I think hes been one of the best players in the past couple of years and will be interesting to see how he performs with the new team and tactics.

It seems nobody has clear idea yet, maybe need to wait longer?

Real may run into that, will need to have Ronaldo and all the other attackers to score more next season, kwnoing that Benzema isnt as clinical as Higuain.

In reply to jibers who I really know does nothing but giving us Barca fans lots of love :DNo I dont get to watch friendlies. Thats why I need to find out more here and reading. But u really should stick to ur Man U supporting more instead of bugging us all the time and being jealous

Real always play some very attractive and entertaining football, Im sure they will do that again with the huge amount of creative players they have now:

Modric, Alonso, Isco, Di Maria, Illra, Ronaldo, Benzema, Ozil, Marcelo, Kaka, Morata.

But I get the feeling, the defense could be weakened after Mou left and the team can be get at, looking at it now.

Wait, did you say Benzema has pace? More pace, at that? Benzema? More? Pace?

Those three words can't be used in the same sentence, unless it's an extremely negative sentence. That guy is a slow, lazy fat ass. And for the final time, this second fiddle crap has to stop. They were rotated almost equally, nobody knew who was going to start a particular match. For example, Benz started home vs. United, Higgy away. Higgy home and away vs. Borussia, Bens home vs. Barca, Higgy away, Benz Copa final and so on.

As for our current squad, it's very unbalanced so far. I can't imagine we have finished our transfers. And if we indeed get Bale (hopefully not), I imagine he'll take Benzema's position as we can't have so many defensively inept players in the first team.

--Casillas--
--Carvajal-- --Ramos-- --Varane-- --Marcelo--
--Khedira-- --Alonso--
--Ozil---- ----Isco--
--Benzema-- --Ronaldo--
