Real Valladolid vs Real Madrid

As I'm writing this, Barca are losing to Valencia (in style) which means we have a chance to 3 points clear before hell month.

Valladolid tied the game at the Bernabeu, so we should do all we can to win this one.

Predicted line up

Thibu
Nacho Varane Militao Mendy
Valverde Casemiro Kroos
Rodrygo Benz Isco

With Barcelona losing, totally seeing a dropped points scenario here.

So Barca lost. How much are we losing by tomorrow?

Our attacking presence is shit and unless we get Hazard back soon in top form i'm pessimistic about winning anything.

Goalkeepers: Courtois, Areola and Altube.

Defenders: Militao, Ramos, Varane, Nacho, Marcelo and Mendy.

Midfielders: Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Valverde, James and Isco.

Strikers: Benzema, Lucas Vázquez, Jovic and Rodrygo.

No vini or brahim

But Lucas is there

And Hala's 2nd fav player James Rodrygo would need to start actually running at players now as it looks like he is the only who can in that entire side.

We said this vs Mallorca as well lol

As an FYI, there are some reports over the past months and recently... that ZZ and his staff are unhappy with Vinicius training habits and training intensity. A big problem with ZZ as we all know.

Brazilian players.....

Source?

I haven't seen it anywhere

Looks like the kids take it in turn to be in the squad. None of them will play anyhow, we are probably rocking up with a 5 man midfield again

From the most reliable source of all: sports' limitless pit of bias, love and excuses for Zidane and all that is French.

Eh, Hazard has been a non-factor due to how bad he was + injuries this season.

And yet, Real Madrid are still 1st place in LaLiga thanks to Benzema.

The club have made 38 LaLiga goals and Benzema has contributed 12 goals + 5 assists.

Which means he's almost 50% responsible for Real Madrid's production.

Benzema is straight up carrying the offense almost single-handedly.

Here's one source Hala:

There are others too... but this one showed live video of Vini refusing to train, which is better than anything a media reporter says.

Courtois; Nacho, Sergio Ramos, Varane, Mendy; Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Isco; Rodrygo y Benzema.

You've got to bleeding kidding me. Don't tell me ZZ has bought the idea that this midfield can work together he starts this midfield against City and it's curtains for our CL hopes

You can clearly see him discussing with the trainer about a discomfort in his thigh, do you want him to train injured just so that it shows he doesn't cop out??

Nowhere does that show that he is "lazy" in training. In fact there are always articles on the RM website that Vini scores alot of goals in training

Also what that footage does not show is that Jovic did not even partake in that exercise at all yet nothing on him. They have tried to cause a stir where there are none

Rodrygo and Nacho as our RW, love it. Everything about this line up screams dropped points but who knows.

Think what you want to think dude...  it's not a new issue.  He's just been protected by the spanish media so far since he's just a kid (as he should be).  But that's why he's having so much trouble making the squad.  it's one thing to sit on the bench when Hazard is there.  it's another to not even make the squad on multiple occasions even with hazard.

And Jovic has a similar issue with ZZ hence the reason he wasn't even getting sub minutes early in the season... he's gotten a bit better though.  Even his NT coach says that Jovic is a head case with his attitude.  Not the best of examples.

Casemiro again

Casemiro is unfucking believable. Might go down as the best CDM in history

Offside, close call

At this point, I rather see Vini with his "bad attitude" than whatever this is. What a boring fucking half of football. As always, I expect better in the 2nd half.

The line looked dodgy

We have created no chances all half. Great fecking time for Benz to be terrible
