The Real Madrid Thread [2005 - 2006]

[Rochester Rhino]

maybe this should just be the preseason thread and make a new thread for the actual season.

 

[faceNside]

No way. It would be great to make this thread one of the biggest in SoccerGaming, as Real is one of the biggest teams

Yea...Real IS the biggest team not one of the biggest :P

and here's some Good news

Real want Owen to stay

the article says Sacchi wants Owen to stay and also speaks about Woodgate. "We have got one of the best defenders I have ever seen in Jonathan Woodgate.

and he says that the club's intention is to not buy any more players.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

from the reports i read, this is how Sacchi and Luxe wants to play:

----------------Casillas----------------
--Salgado-Helguera--Woodgate-Carlos--
-------------Gravesen----------------
-------Beckham-----Baptista----------
---------------Zidane----------------
---------Ronaldo----Raul--------------

i think it's best like this, if Luxe starts Robinho right away, he will feel the pressure to deliver right away. if he gets like 20 mins, and then more and more minutes he will eventually earn a starting spot. im sure.

 

[RUSI]

Yeah, that's the formation I expected to start out with.


I wonder if/when Robinho will be starting

 

[faceNside]

I think it will take 2 or 3 months for Robinho to start; but if there´s any injuries (Zizou, Ronnie, etc) he could start earlier.

 

[mega montana]

that lineup is pretty good...our bench would be really nice:

owen
guti
robinho
pavon
diogo
garcia



hell, if everybody is healthy, we dont need another player, that bench is incredible

robinho will start...in the copa del rey, as for la liga and champions league, i think he'll be rotated with zizou/raul, so he'll get a few starts here and there

edit: after seeing that sacchi quote, i really hope woody can stay healthy!

 

[RUSI]

Yeah, That would be our strongest bench in ages.

I just hope there wouldn't be any drama

 

[mega montana]

reading that article datboy posted makes me feel a lot better about not getting another defender, sacchi said some great things about woody

i cant wait for the season to start!

 

[Crusad3r]

owen
guti
robinho
pavon
diogo
garcia

Plus some young backups that i really like a lot:

Arbeloa - Nice CB and RB
De la Red - DM , I expect a lot of him!
Soldado - Forward, did a nice Asian/American Tour
Juanfran - RM, he always sucked with Real Madrid but he is still young, he is the true star of Real Madrid "B"
Diego Garcia - He showed he is a amazing Goalkeeper (at least the match he played he was amazing O_O)





















And Raul Bravo

 

[RUSI]

Our only real achilles will be our Helguera's and Woodgate's health.

If one of them got hurt for a 2-3 months, we'd be doomed especially if it happened later in the season

True, though I wish our youngsters can do a good job... Other case, lets say all our known prayers (:/)

I really like this formation and it true that our bench will be better then last year.Robinho will not start from the begining but he will adapt fast i am sure.

 

[becksfranksteve]

i have finally put all of my faith in luxe and sachhi. The more i hear them talk about about how healthy and good woody is, the more i believe them. Maybe Woody's Injuries are completely behind him. And i don't think it'll take 2 long for woody to get back to top defensive form, after all look at the attack he faces everyday in training !!!

 

[Drvar]

lets not get our hopes up too much. woody still hasnt played a match yet. and even if he comes through "unbroken" its not a guarantee he'll be good for a season. i just hope Arbeloa will have enough talent to fill up if injuries arrive.

yea that would be disasterous

if either does get hurt, i hope it is before the january transfer windows so we could get a replacement

That is something that can really hurt if we go far like in CL or in La Liga.Just hope something like that do not happen.

[10Ruud]

Actually looks like he's throwing like a girl.
