ok. so at 2.55am later, the match is here.
the title decider. whoever wins, may win the title.
it all depends on real madrid. if madrid wins mallorca, then its theirs.
i've always wanted to do this..
post-match analysis.. i know its stupid.
but for the sake of choongy,
in case he comes back and dunt understand wat i'm complaining/talking about..
news is out that david beckham is fit to play in his last match for madrid. i hope capello let him play the whole match. judging from the looks of it, there maybe a possibility of him being a sub, cos he just recovered from his injured ankle.
everyone is in good condition, except cassano, torres, raul bravo and mejia. gago has recovered, and fabio capello has included him inside the 19man squad.
he has included
GOALKEEPERS: Casillas, Diego López DEFENDERS: Ramos, Cicinho, Cannavaro, Marcelo, Roberto Carlos, Pavón and Salgado. MIDFIELDERS: Guti, Gago, Diarra, Robinho, Beckham, Emerson and Reyes. FORWARDS: Raúl, Higuaín and Van Nistelrooyi expect him to play:casillas, ramos, cannavaro, roberto carlos, salgado, emerson, diarra, raul, robinho, becks, van nistelrooy.the subs capello might play are:guti, gago, higuain, reyes.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
casillas, theres no nid to explain. consisten, stable.
ramos, fast, attack-minded, right back. one of my faves in the team. very strong in the tackles and like EPL's john terry, great in the air. has scored one against barca, with a header. executes curling crosses with right leg.
cannavaro, tries his best to cut of all attacks from opponents. no hesitation when it comes to tackling.
roberto carlos, my all time fave. best left back in the world. and this is his last match with madrid. his left legged shots are stl... stl very strong.
michel salgado, steady, calm, experienced.
emerson, all brazilians have magic. its only a matter of how much. emerson is more stable now, than the beginning of the season. blended well with the team. performs well, when paired with diarra in the middle.
diarra, close to perfection when paired with emerson. almost grabbed the title when at zaragoza, with a last minute header that went over the bar.
robinho, another brazilian. fast, fleet-footed, master of step-overs. his engine nevers seems to go out after ignition. always having a shot at goal.
becks, delivers deadly freekicks with pinpoint accuaracy. last match with madrid too. amazing to watch. great teamwork with right-back, sergio ramos. tries to find ramos when in freekicks.
van nistelrooy, van the man. big sized striker. always at the right place to score.
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
guti, creative player. often used by capello after half time. its has been proven that he creates goals the moment he comes onto the field. crafted the two goals against espanyol i think. they drew that match, with walter pandiani scoring a hat-trick.
gago, one of the three signings, fast, attack minded player. has not played much,, so no comments.
higuain, played more often, compared to the other two who came in with him. scored two crucial goals, talented, but has more to learn.
jose anotonio reyes, another spaniard with attacking flair. esp during counter attacks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
capello may play 4-5-1 this time. this is my guess. wild guess.
