During the match, my little 8 year-old brother said "I hope Real Madrid sack Bernd Schuster, he is a cold fish" and yes indeed, he is.
However, I feel sorry for him. He doesn't know how to handle the team when it is going through such a bad time and he doesn't REALLY realize what is wrong, and tonight, we lost 1-0 and the reason? Yeah as usual, the defense.
The German started with Casillas in goal, Ramos, Cannavaro, Heinze and Marcelo in defense while Gago, Guti and Javi Garcia all started in midfield with VDV and Higuain on the wings and captain Rau'l upfront.
I was surprised to see Javi Garcia in the starting lineup. I didn't know what he would add to the team and as I expected, he was totally absent.
Both of Gago and Guti were active, the later trying to build up games and feed the strikers, but we were overwhelmed by a better Valladolid side.
I thought it was wrong to play Higuain on the right because he is more comfortable playing as a striker and he always does well in that role. VDV looked shaky and was out-form. Sneijder who was sent in in the second half did a better job but unfortunately all of his shots were either blocked by their goalkeeper or went wide.
Canobbio scored a fantastic goal for Valladolid as he capped off a wonderful team move that saw Pedro León skin Heinze out wide, bring the ball forward and cut it back for Canobbio. Gago tried to slide in and challenge the midfielder, but Canobbio's shot was already whistling past Casillas and into the roof of the net.
Valladolid 1 Real Madrid 0 and I knew we were not going to win. Schuster sent in Drenthe and Saviola but the team didn't improve. Rau'l had a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper and he missed it. How could someone like Rau'l miss that, it was beyond me!!
Cannavaro tried from a corner but his header was cleared off the line. Sneijder gave it a shot more than once but no luck.
I was frustrated and I'm just writing this for the sake of posting. I really I am pissed off and I wonder if we will see Schuster next week.
Get it off your chest.... below.
Hala Madrid!
time to call up catilla players to make up the first team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! honestly I love real and will continue to support the team but TIIC needs to go....instead of getting reinforcements over the summer they made CR7 play them like a violin and now they may not even be in contention for a CL berth next year. schuster needs to go too, a coach is supposed to bring his player up in times like these and he himself can't get up off ther bench and rally his men.....SHAME.
It was so disappointing, watching madrid lost twice in a week, i watched the game from the second half, and how come i watch the game just when canobbio strike pass casillas? It was once again the fault of heinze, how could that player play again? I mean, he was once a good player, but his time is over, and i've been saying that higuain is awesome when he's played in central forward, but totally sucks if he played in winger, why don't just play drenthe from the first time instead? You're right dude, this man schuster is someone good to organize a healthy team, he inherited good and spirited team from capello, but after a year and facing problem inside or outside the field, he's proven not good enough, if madrid really fire him, hopefully they find a best one, like redknapp in hotspurs, Hala Madrid!!
castilla*
Also how about el capitan while we're at it. Leadership???what????
no no real madrid should be sold in stock market
Reply to thedangerzolo:
Raul should be benched .. Hienze should be sold !
Oh there are many things we will have to change!But agree with these first suggestions!
Raul needs to be benched... Heinze needs to be fed to the pigs!!!
Gago was horrible! Team sucked really bad and its not schuster its everything starting from Calderone that piece of shit!
Some of us in here is like Schuster don't know when a team is playing well,, my girl watched this game again and said Real played like sh!t and some of U in here saying Real is playing well, even the commentator on goal can't believe how Real played... Schuster deserves to go why is he still sticking to Heinze, who cost Real most of the games this season,,, Schuster should not just go but he should also pay Real for all the trouble he cost them...Calderon is even worst using Real money to buy million dollar apartments in Madrid and not investing Real money wisely HE SOULD BE SENT TO PRISON!!!!!!
Did anyone see the goal Raul missed!!??? SHOCKING!!!

hahaha thats funny, jackass.
shocking...however I still don't think that a big change is going to be needed...btw does anybody know when will De La Red recover because we REALLY need him right now.If we see him and Gaga in the starting line up (until Diarra gets fit)...I think that will restore the balance of the team.
We will buy some players and everything is gonna be better! Be patient and keep a good faith!Hala Madrid

R.Oliveira,A.di Maria,Benzema,Arshavin,Bueno,Parejo,Brandao,
D.Milito,Garay,Huntelaar and maybee some others,some of them will create a new Real!With the present Casillas Ramos Pepe Higuain,Sneijder!The future is on our side!
There is no need for a new Real Madrid just because we lost a few games!!!Things can change drastically in a few weeks.A FEW signings...1/2 are more then enough...Benzema,Garay and Di Maria would be the ideals.No need for more
If we change the whole team again we'd be like we were in the galacticos era and we'll win NOTHING
We should change the the management,,, Robinho is now Captain,, what does Man City see in him that Real did not see?

I did not say to change the whole team, only I think that these 5 should be a spin of the team!With the right upgrades!And should start togheter every next game if not injured!Benzema could be so far the only big sign for the future!But our coach has lost the orientation!

Agreeeeeeee 1000000000%
I THINK INJURIES ARE KILLING US , PLAYERS ARE AFRAID TO GIVE THEIR BEST AND ARE AFRAID TO GET INJURED WHILE ALL SMALL TEAMS ARE FIGHTING AND WRESTLING US, MAN I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A NEW METHOD OF TRAINING AND OUR PLAYERS MUST BE IN A BETTER PHYSICAL SHAPE...
AND I'M FEELING THAT SCHUSTER IS UNABLE TO HANDLE THE TEAM BECAUSE OF THE HAPPENING ABSENCES TOO MANY IMPORTANT PLAYERS ARE MISSING WITHOUT FORGETTING THAT A NEW COACH WILL REQUIRE MORE TIME TO FIT AND IMPROVE THE TEAM'S PERFORMANCE... (ps: SOMEBODY KILL THAT GUY NAMED HEINZE BECAUSE I'M STARTING TO HATE HIM...) HE ALWAYS MADE MISTAKES AND WE CONCEIDE ONE OR 2 GOALS IN EACH GAME BECAUSE OF HIM, MAN HE STARTED TO BECAME OLD :s...
BUT I CAN SEE LIGHT IN THE END OF THE TUNNEL, HOPE IT'S THE END OF THE CRISIS... HALA MADRID...
we need a new president, new sporting director, new coach and new technical people.....folks who will not let any player on the team seem indispensible......NO ONE!!!!!!!!!

Yes Yes Yes...... You got a point
Hey, although i can't comment on the game as i didn't see it (due to my local pub having a live band perform), blaming injuries does not hold up with me. We have infinitely superior resources in comparison to teams like Real Union, Valladolid and Almeria. Heck even the team we put out against Valla' was packed with international and potential international players. We should be good enough even with a few players out to take care of business.
Also, firing the manager is not the answer either. Impatient sackings of previous managers got us into a mess. We just need to persevere and i'm sure the results will come. That said Schuster does need to pick a formation and stick to it. Maybe with Ruud & Robben out he could go for a 4-2-3-1 formation, similar to the one Holland played at the Euros. Something like this:
-------------Casillas
----Ramos, Pepe, Cannavaro, Marcelo.
----------Diarra---Gago
Van Der Vaart, Guti, Sneijder.
-----------Higuain.
Just an idea.
As i said on my last comment, keep the faith: we have enough quality to turn this around.
HALA MADRID!!!
real madrid should improve on their teamwork,including their defence
26 Madridistas have commented on "Real Valladolid 1-0 Real Madrid | La Liga Review | Bye Bye Schuster?" · Add yours
Shocking performance .. stupid line up . But still i think its unfair to sack Bernd yet .. he wasnt given the players he wanted and I think its Pedja and Calderon who should be leavin
