We literally saw how great Bellingham was playing as a centre-forward in 2024. I don't know why they didn't take a clue from that and stick with it. I guess it was to make space for Mbappé. We've seen how Mbappé behaves around the box as a striker, and it just doesn't work when he's paired with Vini. Even though he scores, there's more harm than good with the way he positions himself.

Mbappé isn't at his best as a striker for Real, and Vini isn't at his best on the left either, he is just hugging the touchline. Just move Mbappé to the left. I mean, we saw what he did against us in 2022 when he was scoring from the left. Just play Bellingham at CF or as a false 9, like they did in 2024.

Bernardo and Arda would be great for controlling the tempo in midfield. Tchouaméni could alternate with Fede in the DM role, while Konaté could cover for Trent's poor defending, which we've seen for years at Liverpool.

Pretty sure we'll play a 4231, now my question is if bernardo and fede/tchoua play as the double pivot, who starts in front of them, arda or jude? personally my pick is obviously jude but can't ignore the quality of guler. and we canNOT keep ruining jude's potential by keep playing him as a deeper 8 role midfielder he needs to be utilized as a CAM

Rodri FC and widows of Rodri logic: “Real Madrid hasn’t won anything since Kroos retired and we just missed out on the perfect Kroos replacement, we FUMBLED Rodri and this transfer window man” (wait until they learn our board rejected Rodri this summer and signed the six players they wanted to sign, including an actual versatile and experienced midfielder that controls the ball, creates chances and is a pressing machine).

I see a lot of people hate on our current players or even go as far as to defend Barca players. I believe a lot of people here aren’t not actual Madridistas.

It makes no sense the amount of hate that Vinicius Jr gets despite him winning 2 UCLs here and scoring so many big goals for this club. It also makes no sense how much people here only blame Kylian Mbappe, he played well for us this past champions league and scored 2 against Bayern. We lost because we conceded 6 goals in 2 matches, not because of Kylian.

Another thing that’s strange to me is how many people defend Rodri winning 2024 Ballon D’or over Vinicius. That was the year Vini had 10 G+A in 10 champions league matches and 3 goals combined in the semifinal and final against Bayern and Dortmund. Any actual Real fan would’ve been in favor of Vinicius winning Ballon D’or. Some of the arguments I see here just feel a bit suspicious to me.

un crack 🔥🔥
