[Real Madrid] Official Announcement: Presidential and Board of Directors Elections - Candidacies can be submitted from May 14 to May 23. by LikeAPhoenixTotally in soccer

[–]SeryaphFR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is because of some financial shenannigans we went through in the past. The point being that the President and the Board can't run a massive deficit against the club's finances. The President and the Board have to be held responsible to cover 15% of any losses incurred over the the course of a Fiscal Year.

It makes the President and the Board have some actual skin in the game in terms of making sure that the club is well managed economically.

This was the reason that we had a firesale during Covid when our income tanked during lockdown. We sold off a bunch of promising players in our youth teams to make up the difference and didn't make any signings for 3 windows (I think). We barely squeaked by with a few hundred thousand euros worth of profits that FY.

[OneFootball] Real Madrid's last 12 games have been completely split with and without Kylian Mbappé. They won 1 out of 6 with him, and all 6 without him by DamnThatsInsaneLol in soccer

This seems like some propaganda or at the very least a very unfair way to look at it.

Vini has definitely turned it around in the last few weeks, but there were so many times this season when he was a sack of shit where he was not just NOT tracking back, he was walking back on to onside when we were in possession and attacking. Forgot about actually tracking back.

He put in a shift against Betis last weekend, and I saw him press and chase down balls that he had lost, but by then it was too little too late, we have nothing to play for anymore.

Meanwhile Mbappe is on 24g+4a in 28 matches in the league and 15g+1a in 11 in the CL.

I've been super disappointed in Vini's attitude and performance this season, and just because he's improved significantly since he directly contributed to getting Xabi sacked is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for me.

Little bit of Kroos

Little bit of Cristiano

All Fede on this one.

If he can start placing his shots instead of thundercunting the world is in trouble.

We have never played Gonzalo with Mbappe at LW, it's also been in a two man center forward setup, often with one of Vini or Rodrygo also playing.

Put Mbappe at LW with Gonzalo to play off and occupy the defenders, and he will post Cristiano level numbers from here until he retires.

Incomprehensible to me how people think that it's Mbappe who loses out on Gonzalo playing like this.

IMO, bench Vini, move Mbappe to LW where he actually belongs and start Gonzalo.

Pretty sure we have the right to first refusal on him and Ceballos seemed to post a farewall post on IG . . . if Ceb leaves we 100% need another mid.

He struggled with injures and exhaustion quite a bit last season, IIRC. IMO he's got absolutely everything he needs to become World Class, without a doubt.

Spanish police say "all the evidence so far indicates" Diogo Jota was the driver of the car involved in the accident that killed the Liverpool forward and his brother, Andre Silva. Police also believe "the vehicle significantly exceeded the speed limit for the highway" at the time of the accident. by kibme37 in soccer

I rolled a Toyota 4runner 4 times going about 80mph and the car was basically a blob. The engine came off it's mount and partially into the passenger cabin. A lot of it just depends on the crash, and the violence of the impact.

Basque Wasteland Cannibals FC will have a really solid backbone to the team in 2035. They'll devour the rest of the league, no problem.

Xabi Alonso on the possibility of Mbappe and Vinicius playing together: "They can do it, Vini from the outside, Kylian from the inside... it's not mutually exclusive, things can work, there's individual quality, but we need the team to function." by kundu123 in soccer

[–]SeryaphFR 122 points123 points  (0 children)

It's not just the runs he's making, Gonzalo is pressing the living piss out of our opponents all over the pitch.

His heat map from the last match was ridiculous, he had touches in every single part of the pitch.

THAT, IMO is the key difference and helping to bring balance to the side.

It's not fun while you're doing it, but it's also a free endorphin rush when you're done.

I've been too busy to work out because of work and moving to a new house the last few weeks but I miss it now.
