🧵 Fernando Redondo comps.

Arda Guler has been playing football on a completely different stratosphere this season

Boppi injured. Benzema call-up?

4 bodies inside the box for the cutback…

golden opportunity walked right to our doorstep in the summer and Florentino just shooed it away

Jose Mourinho: “At the end of last season, Real Madrid got in touch with me and asked me the question, but in a way that basically already had an answer. This was, ‘We need you.’ ‘Well, if you need me, then let’s go.’ I came to Real Madrid in 2010. I came having won a treble. This time around, I hadn’t won anything before I joined. I am here because the club knows of my history. This moved me; I felt proud. I was fine at Benfica. I enjoyed being there, but Real Madrid is Real Madrid, and that’s that. I always have to win the next game. I started on this cycle 20 years ago. My ambition keeps me coming back. It isn’t from one time to another, but from match to match. If I won yesterday, I want to win again. If I lost yesterday, I don’t want to lose again. I want to win on this cycle so that my ambition keeps coming back. That’s my true nature.”

Trophies won playing at pivot Tchouameni: UCL, League, Nations League Valverde:

Fedrico Valverde should stick to playing on the flank, not in the pivot where he "enjoys" dodging the ball and any responsibility

I no longer recognise my club.

Give him another and call it a day @ballondor

say what u want about him as a coach but as a player, this was the guy. we go back to back with him in 14/15

Jose Mourinho once had Xabi Alonso at 6. Now he has Federico Valverde.

Class is permanent. ✨ #FIFAWorldCup

if there’s one player that’s the undisputed greatest at an aspect of football, then I can say with utmost confidence that it’s Drogba at receiving long balls/back to goal

2-3 weeks or 2-3 months?

1. Management 2. Players 3. Referee 4. Manager

We need to sign Xabi Alonso back just so he could sub out Chini 50 more times

Monsieur Zizou.

“football progressed” and now we have dudes like Federico Valverde parading as midfielders
