Marcelo's Sending Off

Should take a few hints from Di Maria, imho, the best diver in the Real Madrid team.

Frequency of Dives: 9.9

For Di Maria, it's almost always a dive.

Di Maria doesn't just dive, he sells his dive.

its amazing how it was clearly a dive, but xcx comes with excuses "he fell because he was too fast" roflcopter

He has it down to a science truth be told.

If you look at the professional divers like Busquets, Alves, Pedro, Mascherano, and Iniesta, they almost never dive when it's unnecessary. Timing and knowing when to utilise the dive is a crucial skill.

Im glad, he dosent know the art of diving/playacting.

I would prefer if he doesn't dive, but if he's going to do it anyways, at least do it properly and not when leading 4-0 against Zaragoza when he's already been booked or something.

There was contact but it was still a dive. Not the worst dive ever but a dive none the less. Glad he got caught.

Well, the game was very shaky from the start, I guess he wanted to ensure the 3 points, Zagreb had a good chance to win against us so Marcelo took the risk, but ironically he got sent off.

What a decision making Risk to secure Zagreb in order to miss Lyon/Ajax
He's mad bro

It's not ironic, he deserved to be punished. You dont dive when you have a yellow already, very stupid, and you DONT DIVE in general.

Lyon/Ajax are far from being the ones they were..Calm down, noones mad bro. Coentrao can fill his spot perfectly.

Clear dive, hope he gets punished for it, 2/3 game ban would do it.

lol anyone read what cristiano ronaldo said about the tackle that he got?

He said that he was targeted because he is "rich,handsome and a good player" hahaha cristiano ronaldo is humble and respectful!

awful tackle though on cristiano ronaldo, similiar to pepes tackle on alves. The dynamo player should have got a red..

There is no ennglish translation from what I know atm but here is the article on MARCA
Cristiano: "Me silban porque soy guapo, rico y bueno"

I have heard him say it so I can assure you that its not made up by the media..

it's a joke for crying out loud, and i'm not a ronaldo fan lmao

I saw that, I noticed that recently Cristiano has been getting a bit more arrogant with not terribly much to show for it... I mean, hes been good, but not end of last year banging three goals a match good. I thought of the very same pepe tackle, though this was 2x worse and it actually made contact, did the Zagreb player get a yellow?

Come on, this is Marca were talking about. We know how credible they are. Cant miss an opportunity to launch an attack on your darling's rival can you?

Glad to see Barcelona fans condemning diving, I've watched the replays since I couldn't watch the full match and I'm not convinced it's a dive, he raced infront of the defender and was pulled back, too soft to give a penalty but quite harsh to book the player, especially as it was the second booking which meant a red card, his first yellow card was well deserved though.

And why is no one talking about the challenge on Ronaldo which went unpunished, it was surely worse than Pepe's tackle on Alves in last years CL semi at the Bernabeu.

Pepe also touched alves,you could hear the impact. Both for me are red card..

Its funny how Dinamo got away with mauling Ronaldo and were shown nothing for it

Yet Marcelo gets red carded for losing balance when an arm was over his shoulder in the first place

Silly.....

Edit: For those that didn't see it there was a blatant studs up challenge on Ronaldo's knee that Dinamo got away with as well as several other nasty challenges that nothing was done about.....

Cristiano Ronaldo
"It's important to have a good start in the Champions League. We are very happy with three points we took, but I'm not so satisfied with the refereeing. I hope we never have this referee again. People talk of fair-play, of protecting good players, but I never get any of that. I don't understand a thing. I'm sad because I hear referees saying they will protect skilful players, but while some are untouchable it seems I can be mauled."

Karanka
"It's worrying to see Marcelo was sent off when Cristiano Ronaldo is receiving stitches in the dressing room. All players should be equally protected."

So when a real madrid player dive its just loosing balance.. hmm interesting

You're assuming that every possible dive scenario is the same.

I'm not even going to try to address the logical fallacies in that LMAO.
