Real Madrid (‎Los Blancos) | Special Thread

truth be told, Varane ain't been the same since he came back from his knee injury. On the other hand, Pepe has been our best defender for the past 2 years, Ramos been a leader and guarantees goals, so Varane must earn his place. If he wants to leave, and the money is right, then let him. And lets go get Marquinhos or Laporte, or both. We are Real Madrid.
 

I don't know. May be you're right, but remember, what Pepe and Ramos provide, Varane lacks, and vice versa. Pepe and Ramos have that leadership, great positioning and a knack for interceptions. Varane has a level head, incredible pace and clinical tackles. The classico showed why this is true. I think if you have Varane with his pace and his clinical tackling, there's no way that Suarez get number two.
Somehow, I agree with you, as we saw earlier this year when Varane and Nacho had to deputize the back line that Varane does not have the leadership and awareness to be able to keep the back line together. We need the combination of experience that Pepe/Ramos provides and youthful speed and energy that Varane provides to have a truly complete CB.
 
One thing about Varane that has always worried me, is his lack of aggressiveness. Don't get me wrong, i like clean defenders, but not soft ones. You can't play a soft Defender like Varane against the bulldogs like Suarez or Tevez and the likes, they'll eat him alive. He can only shine vs the likes of Messi, who play a clean game. He needs to improve on that real fast
 

Ok, on his current form and the basis of this season, €60M would be gold for Perez. But form is temporary and class permanet. He'll be one the best deffenders of his generation this coming few years, but we can't keep him, Real Madrid always means business.

.Training session (31/03/15)

at Ciudad Real Madrid (Valdebebas)

Benzema, Varane, Marcelo and Modric returned to training in Ciudad Real Madrid following the completion of their international duty. The four players took part in the week's second session, along with Pacheco, Nacho, Arbeloa, Illarra, James and Jesé. Carlo Ancelotti also had the Under-19 goalkeeper Marcos Lavín at his disposal. Bale and Pepe exercised in the indoor facilities.

Following a warm-up that included hurdles and stakes, the Real Madrid players carried out a series of passing drills and practiced circulating the ball. The Whites' coach also took part in the one-on-one exercises, in which the outfield players put their shooting skills in front of goal to the test.








 
Raul: Ballon D'or? "I have dedicated my life to what I love doing: playing football. One time I was second in the Ballon d'Or, another time I was third. Could I have got there? Maybe. But it's not important to me. Football is a team sport."

 
I'm glad Modric made it back all in one piece. Fifa virus is evil
