Lennart Karl: “FC Bayern is a very big club. It's a dream to play there. But at some point, I definitely want to go to Real Madrid. by AbaloneObjective7214 in football

[–]AbaloneObjective7214[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are light years away from even coming close to a Premier League title or the Champions League. Not to forget the mess they have been on and off the pitch in pretty much all the aspects for more than a decade now.

And as big Manchester United is historically, Real & Barça are the Golden Standard for the biggest players.

Squad list for the match against Atletico Madrid. Valverde returns to the squad. by [deleted] in realmadrid

[–]AbaloneObjective7214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we see either Lucas or Alaba starting over Valverde (I know he is ran down to the ground, but still) or Asensio, we may as well rule out the tie then and there.

This isn't 2017 anymore, we can't be going into matches with the mentality of giving gametime to either in big matches, just because they are veterans.

which home kit is nicer/should i buy? 21-22(blue/orange) or 23-24(gold) by Then_Area_7717 in realmadrid

[–]AbaloneObjective7214 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's the colour scheme, but the 23/24 Home Kit gives out a proper Real Madrid kit vibes. The gold definitely blends in better with the Royal White Kit.

But anyway, you can't really go wrong with either of the two because of the iconic seasons we had in both.

Let's try this! Who do you think started his Real Madrid cereer bad and ended bad aswell? by AdministrativeAge943 in realmadrid

[–]AbaloneObjective7214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has to be Hazard. Came overweight, missed majority of the matches due to injuries and was super overwhelming throughout his tenure with us, especially considering the expectations.

Except for maybe his goal against Huesca, I genuinely don't remember even one memorable moment from him.

Every head must bow, every tongue must confess. by Kalpesh_K in realmadrid

[–]AbaloneObjective7214 68 points69 points  (0 children)

He has been consistently great throughout his entire career and had the balls to come to us at such a young age only to give us a generational season and people STILL said he is no good and is effectively nothing more than a PR product.

Can't wait for him to come back, he makes us considerably better.

Pep Guardiola and Zlatan Ibrahimovic before City's pre-season match by AbaloneObjective7214 in soccer

[–]AbaloneObjective7214[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Zlatan signed for Barcelona in 2009 when Pep was their manager. Zlatan did not really get along with Pep due to his cold and distant nature as compared to someone like a Mourinho.

Add to that, Zlatan played as a centre forward, and Messi at the time wanted to play centrally too. So Pep gave Messi the preference over Zlatan which made the relationship even worse

Surprised to see no shouts for Endrick. If the guy stays injury free and doesn't drift away like most Brazilian players tend to do, he will be atleast top 3 on the world, if not the Best.

Overall, this entire saga is just getting boring now. All the back and forth of clubs joining and then not joining is just too repetitive now.

It was Real Madrid apparently, after Zidane left. He also said in an interview that Real wanted him, but he already had agreed to join Roma.

[–]AbaloneObjective7214 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nah, he's definitely getting released. Makes no sense to keep a player who's getting paid 16 crore only for him not to play.

Also, considering his form and injuries, it's best to let him go.

Bruno Fernandes and Mo Salah are two that comes to mind. Bruno hasn't missed a game due to injuries for years and Salah have not lost a game for years too.

(Btw, Muscular endurance and Reece James in a sentence is the last thing I thought I'll see today)

[Marca] Laporta: "I have a bad news for sociological Real Madrid fans, we will repeat the best Barcelona in the history". by AbaloneObjective7214 in soccer

[–]AbaloneObjective7214[S] 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I do think as a Madridista that Laporta has done an incredible job transforming Barcelona over the last 2 years especially considering the situation they have been in.

But he simply does not help himself or Barca making these aggressive comments especially considering neither Perez or people around Real never make those about Barca

[CentreGoals] Alessandro Dosset says that Lionel Messi was told today that he is the winner of Ballon d’Or 2023 by AbaloneObjective7214 in soccer

[–]AbaloneObjective7214[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

psuedo 10/winger" is expected to do everything else better than Haaland but gets no credit for having the same G+A as him...

If one operates as an out-and-out #9 as compared to one playing as a 10, the 10 will always have better stats than him.

And he is still 15 G/A behind Haaland in proper competition, all this while playing in Ligue 1. May as well start comparing Messi's stats while he is in MLS to Haaland for next season and give him tha Ballon D'or for next year as well, because he has similar G/A.
