Real Madrid and Mourinho ANNIHILATED in El Classico

<< < (3/9) > >>

Javier:
It wasn't as bad, but when Inter Milan faced Barcelona in the group stages they didn't really do much.  Tied at home with literally less than 35% of ball possession and then get owned away.  Mourinho has shown to adjust.  And hopefully we'll also get to see some Champions League between the two as well. 

Mourinho switched Ronaldo to the right side, in order for Di Maria to do a much better job covering Alves.  The negative aspect of that is that Ozil and Ronaldo were in a groove already and that disrupted the combination of the two.  He switched back when it was 2-0, a little too late.  In fact, one of of the few plays came from this combo almost as soon as they switched.  If Barca was able to score two goals with the defensive back line deep, it was only going to be disastrous when they had to move up to create more attack.

i thought he was always a choker even with man u.   he rarely steps up against tough competition and as soon as the game goes bad against them he loses all hope.  He's not a champion.  A champion learns to not show his emotions during game time and try their best to make a come back.  All he does it act like he's the shit when his team beats crap teams or former great teams like ac milan who are old and depleted now.  He can never beat an ac milan side that is having a good year with a good number of stars in it. 

Meho:
True true. I see a lot of correlation with Kobe (Messi) vs. Lebron (Ronaldo)

Football is too much of a team sport to the point where no team can rely on one player's performance in an entire tournament or league.  If we want to take a look at the Messi vs Ronaldo comparison then let's compare them in context.  Messi started playing for Barca at what, 12 years old?  He was part of the Barca B team that was coached under Guardiola that included Xavi and Iniesta.  They've been playing under one system for almost ten years now.  That's something that can't be matched. 

Messi-Iniesta-Xavi is more like having 3 Kobe's that know their roles. 

Lunatic:
^ Exactly. It's way more of a team sport. CR7 was the only player in a Real jersey who 'showed up' to the game. The rest were complete CRAP. Di Maria was especially terrible & Ozil was bad too.

Messi was like 4th or 5th best player on Barca yesterday.

Let's not forget Ronaldo still has more goals  :laugh:  Over the last 2-3 months Ronaldo has been the better player.
