Kroos is a 10, how do you expect him to play regista ? Xabi is way better defensively. Maybe next year or the year after that we'll see Kroos there, if Illarra doesn't deliver.

by Onyx Tue Jul 29, 2014 8:33 pm

Kroos is best as an AM, but we already signed Rodriguez and both should be starting.

so if kroos is a 10 then why buy james? kroos is going to play make from deep brah

He might as well play from the deep, but don't put any defensive responsibilities on him. He can only perform when he has a free role from the deep. He is an AM in that sense like he plays for Germany. Old fashioned though not modern.

But He wouldn't need to defend much anyways 90% of the time. And in big games Carlo will most likely play Khedira etc so it will work out.

Kroos is a Xavi more than Thiago is. He's by no way Alonso.

Real Madrid lineup vs Roma:

Casillas, Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrão, Illarramendi, Xabi Alonso, Modric, Bale, Isco & Lucas.

Starts in 15 minutes, for those who might have trouble converting to local time.

by Kuru Wed Jul 30, 2014 3:01 am

& Isco as false 9 in this game.

Will always be meh as a false 9.
Not his fault at all though because you can't just stick anyone there and expect it to work.

by halamadrid2 Wed Jul 30, 2014 7:29 am

Much better display today than against Inter. We are getting there physically. Bale looks absolutely ready. Niw give us the rest of our players so that we can prepare properly

Thought he did well for his first game there.

Very involved in build up today. Did not make any runs but I've seen Isco make them. It's hardly the thing I was having my doubts over Isco in that position.

Give him some more games before you judge. I think he will be better than Benz for us tbh.

by chad4401 Wed Jul 30, 2014 4:07 pm

se7en you obviously only care about isco replacing benzema, he didn't do anything at all, again this is not fifa and false 9 isn't something anyone can do, but keep telling yourself otherwise

by Onyx Fri Aug 01, 2014 12:12 pm

Rodriguez first training session. Varane and Benzema return.

Ancelotti say's Ronaldo won't play tomorrow against Man Utd.

by Onyx Fri Aug 01, 2014 9:37 pm

Ancelotti: "Iker will start tomorrow and in the European Super Cup match vs Sevilla."

by RealGunner Fri Aug 01, 2014 9:49 pm

Iker is back Proud

by Onyx Fri Aug 01, 2014 9:54 pm

He was never gone. hmm

by Onyx Fri Aug 01, 2014 9:58 pm

Ancelotti: "Diego Lopez will leave? He's very professional player, there's no news about his future. I count on him for next season."

by Onyx Fri Aug 01, 2014 10:19 pm

Lineup:

Real Madrid: Casillas, Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Nacho, Carvajal, Illarra, Xabi Alonso, Modric, Bale e Isco

Carvajal as right forward with no CF in the box to aim crosses at Laughing

Diego Lopez won't play tomorrow; he's working hard but Casillas will play because he'll start the Supercup. I won't talk about Navas because he's not a Real Madrid player.

Cristiano Ronaldo will not play tomorrow. He hasn't trained with the team and we won't run any risks. He'll train with the team in Madrid to be ready for the Supercup. I'm counting on him for the final.

Carlo more or less confirms Lopez is leaving

Also anyone else noticed that it was Alonso playing CM against Roma and not Illarra. I like that alot and would prefer it to Illarra at CM
