The Rumour Commode XXXV: Champions Edition

[Samaldinho]

Is it just me or does this Real team need a lot work?

I feel like they need a RB, another CM, a LB, another CB (Rudiger?) and a RW, unless they really believe in Rodrygo.

Thanks for the coefficient bump Villareal

They have certainly overachieved in league and CL this year

What a victory for Villareal.

 

[Qaas]

Bayern out, good for milan
Now we need liverpool to get knocked out too

 

[Wild]

Real-Chelsea will face Liver ?

Their CM unit is just getting older, but Alaba has been disappointing, Militao is the better of the two (from what I've seen) while Nacho is not good enough to be their RB and Mendy seems like a very defensive LB, and he's great at that, but he doesn't offer a threat which is crucial for a modern LB.

The only young player I envy from Real is Camavinga. I like Leao better than Vini.

They face City.

In league no , Barca & Atleti were fucked.
If Xavi was Barca's coach then Real wouldnt be leading.

They face City.

So Liver will reach the final without facing one single serious team

I have a feeling Mbappé may start ahead of Rodrygo

I think Barca's winter market was huge for them. Xavi was getting the same results as Koeman before he got that huge injection of players.

Mendy

Benz<3

 

[Master Smurf]

And there is the difference

Quality and Composure

lol probably a fruitless fight to compare this Milan to Madrid, they add superstars every summer

But sure, I agree Milan has a much better backline. I'll give you that

Yeah that's what I meant

overachieving in league because rest of the league is shit

Koeman was the one who wanted the summer players like Depay.

Forza Carletto
Never doubted you

Getting Pedri back from injury was a huge boost as well obviously

Pep-Carlo is gonna be fun

For me.

I wasn't comparing Milan to Real. Until we sort out our attack, I'm not sure what the potential of this team is.

Adli is the big question mark. If he is a hit, our team becomes scary. RW is huge. Berardi is not good enough for the European level. Chiesa would have been perfect.

Modric - breaking up final pass then generals the next break with a clinical splitting pass....in the 100 minute

 

[mrki]

Modric = football God

Vini's workrate is huge, and his stamina is something you can't not notice. Leao needs to up his stamina, because he has more physical gifts than Vini, I think their skill level is about the same--different style of players, but Leao needs to increase his "gas tank" because I feel like unless Leao does his damage in the first 65 minutes, he's out. Though, the last few games I've seen him keep trying and pushing late into the game.

 

[MilanMB]

Incredible showing by Chelsea.

Speaking of Chelsea, what are their prospects now in the wake of the whole Abramovich debacle?

We'll realize that all this is an western plot and everything we're seeing is fake news, he'll be given his club back and an apology.

 

[MilanMB]

Wow congrats to Villareal hopefully they'll do the same with Liverpoo

 

[Jivara]

What goalscorer? He scores penalties

And if he can score from DM, then let's keep it that way

Vini understands how to mix speeds better and has that composure to slow things down to his advantage.

That also maybe a part of being that much fitter but yes he can be used as a model for Leao to aim for in winger qualities.

It needs to be said though that he (Vini) too improved a great deal even though his finishing isnt that good yet.

 

[Swagotelli]

Modric has conditioned his game really well for his age. Regularly lasts longer than younger players.

 

[Swagotelli]

It’s possible but Liverpool looking like a machine. Unai will give them a tough game though

 

[Samaldinho]

God, I miss the days of Milan being the harbinger of doom to teams in the CL. Soon we will be back. Soon.
