Super Higuain .... Super Higuain
OK so , you guys have already read Adam's awesome review of the game so I'm not going to talk that much about the game but instead on what lies ahead and the tactical future of the team.
Bernd Schuster .. What the hell :
I was utterly shocked when I saw the tactics that Schuster started the game with . Playing with 1-3-2-4 , Is something I'm against only when facing a much weaker opponent and we have center backs that are reliable and consistant .
Schuster started with Casillas , Ramos , Cannavaro, Heinze and Marcelo in defense, Guti , Gago, Sneijder, Van Der Vaart and Drenthe in midfield, while Higuain in attack.I was thrilled that Raul was benched and Higuain was in place ( he kicked ass ) , Guti I guess should have also been benched but he did a good job after all . Saviola again did not start ( eventually got in in the 74th min ) and I think its for the best that he leaves the club as its a shame that such a talent goes to waste .
As I said the tactic might have worked and no goals would have gone in if we have two strong , reliable center backs who does their attacking and defensive duties but we don't , we have Hienze who is responsible for almost one goal per match and really sucks as a center back and should be played as a center defender instead ( What , going for a record Hienze ? ) and Sergio Ramos who clearly have problems with some one in the club and should do some anger management. Cannavaro and Marcelo is on hand none the less and thank god we have them .
The midfield had the best formation , 2 defensive midfielder ( Although Diarra should have started for either Gago or Guti ) , 3 Midfielders ( It's good to see V.D.V and Wesley playing with each other ) and one super attacker .. none other than the Prodigy Gonzalo .
Through out the game we saw an alter-ego of Iker Cassillas .. astonishing decline in form for Spain captain and most of the goals Iker wouldn't have a problem saving in the past . Iker please step up your game we need you . The Guti , Snjieder and V.D.V was impressive last night although unlucky and I can't wait what the three of them might do in the future .
And the best for the last ... Higuain , I cant describe how I felt seeing a favorite player shine as he did last night .. just so deadly from inside the box .. impressive touch and dribbling , the whole package . I think we have a legend on our hands and I hope the useless threesome Calderon - Schuster - Miatojovic keep him in the team and develop him and not do a Robinho case .
Anyways , thanks for reading my none-sense I hope you enjoyed , please tell me what you think
Ciaooo

The Squad is Back to Liga Preparation :
Los Blancos are back into training after the 2-0 loss against Juventus with Robben and Ramos joining Pepe and De la Red in the sickbay . The training featured only players who did not start in yesterday's match except Wesely Snjieder . The training led by Bernd Schuster , focused on technical ability and fitness .
Robben , Ramos are Injured :
Like 2-0 loss isn't enough , Robben and Ramos where Injured during the match yesterday . Robben injured himself while warming up to be substituted in while Ramos came away with a badly bruised right foot . Get well soon guys !
Update :
Real Madrid announced on the pages of their website that winger Robben will be out for 6 weeks due to torn in the soleus muscle of his right leg. This certainly a very bad news .. I'm growing more and more nervous ... anyways lets hope he get's back soon .
