Too right guys, we must field the first team and beat Real just to show them that we can!
After watching the last couple of weeks of la Liga and the Real-Borussia game, all I can say is that without Zizou, Real is nothing. Figo IMO hasnt done shit in about 2 years and the strikers are lost with out Zidane and their defense sucks. Real Madrid for all its glory has now become a one man show and if you shut Zidane down, you can beat them without too much difficulty. (It also only goes to show that Zidane is the best player in the world to be that critical to a team. the man is absolute poetry in motion). :devil2:
And in anycase, I like Matthias Sammer (even though he played for Inter) and I'd like to see Dortmund go to the next level and then get their asses handed to them by somebody. Since Sammer isn't winning anything in the bundesliga this year, at least a quarter final berth in CL might make him keep his job!!!
good response Ads.....
First off, totally agree about Figo. The man has not looked liek the wing that wrecked havoc across Europe in has Catalan days. He is becoming an afterthought.
Zizou......I would have to be bloody blind to say the man is not an absolute maestro on the pitch. The best player of his generation, no doubt. And yes, he is the fulcrum of Real's game. (2 side notes) (A...excellent goal on Kazaa by Zizou vs Deportivo La Coruna.......not hard to find) (B....got in argument the other day about who was better, Zizou or Maradona......people.....what Zizou can do with a ball, Diegiuto could do with an apple. End of argument)
Sammer....once again.....a player that Inter had, brought out the worst of, he left, and not only won a euro cup was also voted euro footballer of the year. This is common with Inter.......good players come there, enter what many consider to be the twilight of their careers, they then depart, and all of the sudden, they are absolutely crucial to their new team....
Bob Carlos, Sammer, Bergkamp, Silvestre, Seedorf, Pirlo, Klinnsmann, Keane, Kanu, ect ect ect......
