They played against eachother and this game up for a trophy is never even any kind of a friendly. Spanish teams always seem to take it seriously even when it isn't a derby. But this game was more intense than normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a bit daft when manager's claim they have won trophies and include it. Seems like a bit of a contradiction but I know what I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Anyway... a bit of banter with some Spanish memes. Why more signings? With me it’s enough! Ramos’ elbows are recognised as marking his territory and to intimidate the attackers. Elbows by Costa or Suárez are because they’re violent and pigs.

The Supercups (charity shield) are minor trophies but they are trophies. Plus the European Super Cup does have more meaning. I think you’re talking about things like the Emirates Cup and the like.

If I were a Madridista I'd get a fucking nose bleed from seeing Benzema with the armband. Yep, a cretinous, blackmailing moron is the representative of the club!

Dr. Gonzo Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 If this isn't a glorified friendly then here's a fun stat: In Zidane's entire tenure at Real Madrid, they never conceded 4 goals. Under Lopetegui they've managed to do that right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Artful Dodger Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 To be fair, this game is actually played under competitive rules so it is a proper game. The community shield in England is actually a friendly given the substitute rules are different from competitive matches and it's a pathetic that Arsenal treat it as a trophy.

In Spain Ramos' dirty tactics are manipulated to translate into good hard defending while others like the examples of Costa and Suárez when doing the same thing are publicised as just dirty players.

Depending on who you listen to Diego Costa gets just as much adulation for being confrontational and bending the rules because he's a "beast" or a "monster" that "everyone would love to have on their team" as Ramos does. Suarez gets the same sort of adulation to a lesser extent but to be fair you can see why with the reputation of going a bit further on the wrong side of the line with the other two with things like biting opponents.

bozziovai Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 watched the highlights --- i don't know but those goals from atletico are soft, Navas could have easily saved them. for me, i think Navas was being rebellious at a very high cost for Real.
