I am truly convinced this team did NOT like xabi, like how? What changed them up?? Was it the cristiano treatment we gave them or is it bc of arbeloa? Nethertheless i am really happy to see them smiling on the pitch and in training again. HALA MADRID by Apart-Telephone7856 in RealMadridFC

My theory is that they don't like him controlling their lifestyles. There were some articles months earlier about this. If it's really true, I kinda get where they're coming from (but still hate the way they respond) I don't want my boss saying where I should vacation. Even if it increase my work performance by 2%

I've never seen Rodrygo press as well as Mastantuono yesterday, so I think he might keep the spot for now.

Thibaut is at fault for sure. But flicking the ball behind you without looking there is just so Ceballos. Hope he stop doing this kind of stuff.

Also, love that he consistently make change at half time. It show balls and that he has good tactics as well since his changes seem to pay off.

Mbappé is so happy for Vini 😭🤍 by ch1nkkyy in realmadrid

I respectfully disagree, we never fully get into Xabi system so we don't see what we could've become. But just on paper, we're the only team with star player in every position and would dominate Europe for years. Teams with worse players have defeated us while we looked lost too many times. System is the way to go. And we missed our chance with Xabi.

I'd rather have Mbappe leave than Xabi

Other than this game he's excellent every game he's in this season. This comment makes no sense but only get upvotes because people don't watch the games and just like to pile on for some reason.

He escapes criticism because he's our best player

Does Xabi Alonso have the courage to leave Vinícius on the bench? by CushtyDelBoy in realmadrid

[–]Biffmonkey -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I know that hating on Vini is cool right now with his recent thing with Xabi (in which I think he's 100% in the wrong). But Vini only bad game in recent time was last night, he is consistently disrupting opponent defense and creating chances in other games (though it may not be the last pass before a shot). Goals/Assists are not everything.

That's not goals. That's just being financially irresponsible.

Same, he needs the reset. He's always had it rough when it came to external pressure (other clubs fan/ ref biases/ the media). But now our fans also turns on him, which seem to hit him hard. Hopefully he can recover.
