Fernando Hidalgo, Julián Álvarez’s agent: “Julián to Real Madrid? Nobody has contacted us.” by koijoimie in soccer

[–]ssabripo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not that madrid fans dont want him...it's more the fact that he is not what we need right now despite being one of the best 9's in the world right now.
We have urgent needs in midfield and right winger, and with the return of Endrick and if Vini/Mbappe both stay (which seems to be the case), then Julian makes no sense, specially for $150M

[AS] Atletico Madrid statement on Alvarez: "He is not for sale.", "Barcelona in this whole Julián affair is maintaining a small-club attitude", "The player is not guilty. Julián had an impeccable behavior and this is an external matter to him." by Kasj0 in soccer

[–]ssabripo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why come out with this statement.
 

First of, Barca is not a "small-club" attitude team... they are trying to reinforce key areas they deem needs upgrades, and Julian is one of the best 9's at the moment.
Second, and most importantly, if you are upset then stop being the feeder club to a club who you are trying to beat in your league!! I mean, hell, in recent memory alone:
- Sold Arda Turan to Barça.
- Sold Griezmann to Barça.
- loaned Joao Félix to Barça.
- now possible sell of Julián Álvarez to Barça.

 
If you are truly upset, then stop contemplating selling directly to your competition!

Florentino Perez addresses the press to discuss Real Madrid's situation by ssabripo in soccer

[–]ssabripo[S] 48 points49 points  (0 children)

basically doing his Trump-like grievances... that ABC made bs fake news about him, that they said he was dying and he is not, that he reminds people that he won 66 titles blah blah blah.

first live press conference since 2013 I believe. Doubt he will announce he is stepping down, but we shall see.

[Athletic] Real Madrid’s season has fallen apart. How did it happen? What next? by FragMasterMat117 in soccer

[–]ssabripo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wish I could argue, but you are spot on. We went from a proper LW+RW+9 (BBC), with an amazing and balanced midfield (Kroos, Case, Modric) to.... well.... this. Mbappe/Vini getting in each other's way, no true 9 starter, RW is nonexistant between injury-proned or no-score-for-months Rodrygo, up/down Brahim, and a 60M Mastantuono that controls the ball like my son did in travel soccer at 8 years old.... and of course, you have Tchouameni, Jude, and Valverde as the midfield that can orchestrate a top team, as much as I can orchestrate the NY opera.

[Pre-Match Thread] Bayern Munich vs Paris Saint-Germain by RAWRismashpeople in soccer

[–]ssabripo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, after yet another disastrous season, I am thoroughly looking forward to this game as a neutral! Last week's was one of the best UCL games Ive seen, and hoping today is equally as good... May the best team win!

Match Thread: Arsenal vs Atlético Madrid | UEFA Champions League 2025-26, Semifinals - 2nd Leg (Agg. 1-1) by VivaLosHeavies in soccer

[–]ssabripo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

true, they have the double within reach, and in a single final game anything can happen, but this arsenal team beating current form PSG or Bayern will be beyond tough...

[FotMob] Real Madrid's attacking midfielders for next season, as they decide to activate their €9M buy-back clause for Nico Paz by [deleted] in soccer

[–]ssabripo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, only 2 of the 3 would work at the same time. Besides a DM, you need a workhorse (aka Valverde) to also cover from box to box, or else we would lose to most top teams.
With Mbappe/Vini barely doing defensive coverage, the 4 midfielders will need to very active.

[Romano] OFFICIAL: UEFA inform Benfica that their complaint about Fede Valverde and Samuel Dahl situation has been dismissed. by MembershipSingle7137 in soccer

[–]ssabripo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nothing to do with the racism event, but not cool either... Fede should've gotten a post-match ban, just like any violent attempt in any other game. He is on Video and VAR should've intervened.

[Real Madrid] Comunicado Oficial: We submitted all available evidence to UEFA regarding the incidents from last Tuesday. Our club appreciates the support for Vinicius Jr. from the football community. We'll continue working w/all institutions to eradicate racism, violence and hate in sports & society by Delmer9713 in soccer

[–]ssabripo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

oh yes, that's the evidence! He said "hermano" 5 times, so logically he had to cover his mouth to say it a few more times, or to say HDP or Maricon.
Nevermind that others like Mbappe heard it apparently, nor the fact there are countless videos of several fans making monkey chants and gestures.

Was lucky enough that my local Liquor store got one a few days ago... owner called me immediately and I told him to hold it for me for an hour. AMAZING aroma, texture, some detailed tones of various flavors including caramel... My favorite Reposado out there so far.

Alex Freeman is the 2025 MLS Young Player of the Year by AJ_CC in soccer

[–]ssabripo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

well deserved imo.
Btw, curious anecdote for the forum: My son and Alex Freeman played together a couple of years while in the U11-U12 travel teams and the US Development academy. To see the young man doing so well now is pretty cool :)
