The Daily Merengue It is a place where you can feel free to practice everything related to football. Don’t be alarmed by the RMCF’s overt bias. It’s in the name! Shout out to the mods who do a fantastic job. Valyrian Steel, felipejack, juninho, Not RObutWhite and sincerely, Kung_Fu_Zizou
Real Madrid has been terrible this season. One of the most pernicious things I’ve seen since the start of this season has been the publication of statistics about how many games we’ve lost in the last 12 months as justification for the horror being inflicted on us.
Barcelona’s drop in form did not help much as it allowed a still mediocre Real Madrid to climb to the top of the table.
This is Real Madrid and there is always hope. We don’t need to lie to ourselves about the current situation.
A man for the big occasion
Vinicius was born for the big stages. Although he is not at his best with the Seleccao, he almost never misses a big day on the white strip. There is no reason to believe it won’t be there in the future. This season there may be problems too deep for Vini’s magic to solve, but it won’t be for lack of trying, not on Vini’s part. #younglegend
for my ambition
“They will love me for my ambition”
Jude Bellingham arrived as one of the most ambitious players since Cristiano Ronaldo. His ambition was palpable before he kicked a soccer ball. He could barely contain his Jordanian desire to be the main man.
To his credit, people like Toni Kroos declared him a leader in his first season at the age of 20. This season Jude has reiterated his desire to be the main man, stating that he wants to be a leader and already is. This suggests that he doesn’t feel like he is being given his due in the locker room.
Someone needs to sit down with him and explain to him how the leadership hierarchy works at the Bernabeu. He has earned the respect of his teammates but they will not give him the locker room.
However, on the field of play he remains one of the best in the sport. The disadvantages of his role this season are amplified by a thinner midfield and an overloaded attack in Carlo’s scheme. If a solution is not found, we will continue to fail in important games this season.
