Real Madrid vs Valladolid

Odegaard might lose it more often but he’s exactly what we need, teams are actually scared so they mark him and the game opens up. Just like against Betis who are actually good. Isco has ZERO PRESSURE on him and he is passing the ball out there like he’s courtois

Yeah, I just like the fact that Odegaard is always looking for the final pass, no matter if its a success or not that's what we have needed for a while.

It's not going to look pretty early on. But it's a great way of really finding the optimum mix when money time comes around.

Yeah, agree completely. These guys are not only being evaluated for spot / role / formation for this year, but also do they belong (or can develop enough to belong) for subsequent years when Flo will bring in players.

I remain impressed with what Zidane is doing. For instance, he knows we have a problem with goals and his desired starters, Hazard and Asensio not yet ready, he is giving Jovic another opportunity ( and today thus far is an improvement. In the wings are Msyoral and Mariano. One has to go and for the moment they have held up Mayoral move to aroma. If Jovic doesn’t impress, they are offers for him so looks like

Jovic or Mayoral will go. Meanwhile no offers for Mariano (mainly because of his salary)

Benz channeling his inner Ronaldo today. Selfish and frustrating to watch. The guy is loterally on his knees. He is dead, he needs to rest for a game. Can't have him in the Clasico playing like this

Vinicius، boy oh boy. How long will we have to say "if he knows how to score" the guy is terrible in front of goal but before that part he is a beast. What can be done with this boy. Please for the love of God take some lessons grom your teammates

Courtois is elite man. Just stop hating and join the hype.

From who? Who’s a reliable goalscorer on our team? The first guy that comes to mind is a 34 yeard old, centre back

This preseason has been good so far, no loss yet which is what matters the most. I didn’t like the 2 CF formula with Kroos, the midfield works better with Modric in that shape. Hopefully this team picks up pace
