“Ronaldo Is The Best Player In The History Of Madrid And It Is Normal That The Team Suffers”- Barca Legend Deco

Cristiano Ronaldo


DECO MAKES A HUGE CLAIM THAT SELLING RONALDO IS THE REASON OF MADRID'S STRUGGLE


WHAT IS THE STORY?

Ex Portugal and Barcelona midfielder Deco claims Real Madrid are struggling and it is because Cristiano Ronaldo was sold to Juventus.

Real Madrid are currently sitting on the sixth position on the La Liga standings after 11 matches and already sacked their manager Lopetegui.

The 41-year-old insists Real Madrid were always going to struggle without their talisman.
A player as influential as Ronaldo is always going to be missed.


Ronaldo joined Madrid from Manchester United in 2009, for a then world record fee of £80m, and went on to spend nine years in the Spanish capital.


Deco considers Ronaldo to be the greatest player to have ever worn the all white kit and isn’t surprised Madrid are struggling to adjust to life without the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

RONALDO AND DECO


“I do not discuss whether they [Real] are playing well or badly, but did people really think they would be the same without Cristiano?” Deco said.
“He is the best player in the history of Madrid and it is normal that the team suffers.”

Deco, who made this comment while talking to Spanish media Sport. 

Deco is one of those luckiest players who have experienced of playing with both Messi and Ronaldo.


When asked if Barcelona would be in the same situation if Lionel Messi left the club, the former Catalan giants legend was unsure.
DECO AND MESSI

"I do not know, but there is a difference,Cristiano's was quite sudden, it was not completely natural,” Deco said.
“It did not end little by little and that's why the club was not prepared.”

CONCLUSION:


Real Madrid form is been poor from the start of the season. After Ronaldo's departure Real Madrid are really finding hard to get a goal scorer and anyone who can make the difference. 

In this season Real Madrid broke their record of longest non goal scoring run in their history.  

On the other side Ronaldo is having really good time in Italy.

Juventus are unbeaten in their first 11 league games in which Ronaldo has scored 7 times and assisted on 5 occasions.

He also recently became the first player in history to reach 400 professional goals playing within in Europe’s top five leagues.

Good News For Football Fans As Lionel Messi Comes Back From His Injury Ahead Of Time,His Comeback Date Announced

LIONEL MESSI


Good News For Football Fans As Lionel Messi Comes Back From His Injury Ahead Of Time,His Comeback Date Announced


WHAT IS THE STORY?


Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi is travelling to Milan alongside the team without Barcelona medical board's all-clear. Barcelona is going to play in the midweek against Inter Milan in a group stage away fixture at San Siro. Lionel Messi after playing 16 minutes got injured against Sevilla at the Nou Camp on 20th October. He felt awkwardly on the ground and twisted his right elbow and looked in real pain, later after all tests Barcelona confirmed that "he has a fracture of the radial bone in his right arm and will be out three weeks".


BARCELONA SQUAD ANNOUNCED FOR THE INTER MILAN MATCH ;








WILL MESSI PLAY THE MATCH VS INTER OR WHEN WILL HE RETURN?



Lionel Messi is travelling with the Barcelona team and as we all know Lionel Messi is not someone who wants to sit out in any games like he did in his whole carrier. 

All though he is with the team but his chances of getting some minutes against Inter is very less. Barcelona just need a point in three matches to qualify for the next round of the competition and Ernesto Valverde is a smart coach as he might not risk his talisman.


We are talking about Lionel Messi so he might surprise us with a cameo role. That is all that his fans can pray.



“We will see how he is, I do not know if he will be there. We will see how he feels during training tomorrow,” Valverde said after the thrilling victory against Rayo at the weekend.

PREDICTED LINEUP AGAINST INTER;




CONCLUSION:


Players like Lionel Messi are gifts to the football game and every time he plays the world wants to see his magic on the pitch. He shares the tag of all time great footballers who have played the game and he is 31. With all these great footballers the problem for the fans is  you don't want them to get old,you want more from them. 

 With Lionel Messi it is similar. The time he has left on the pitch, we want the most from his side. We want him to play.

Cristiano Ronaldo Blasts Florentino Perez And Talks About Rape Allegation,Ballon dOr , Read The Full Interview

CRISTIANO RONALDO





RONALDO- '' I LEFT REAL MADRID BECAUSE OF PEREZ''.



WHAT IS THE STORY?

Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo left his previous club Real Madrid on this recent summer transfer window at summer. It was a move that shocked  World football and specially his fans. Everyone wanted to know the real reason behind leaving Real Madrid.
Ronaldo gave a interview to the France football magazine and spoke about lot of issues like reason behind leaving Real Madrid,Ballon dOr and Rape allegation.


READ THE FULL INTERVIEW;



Cristiano Ronaldo says it was Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez who pushed him out of the club and explains that he joined Juventus because ” they really wanted me.”
The Portuguese forward joined the Bianconeri in the summer and explained the reasons behind his departure from Los Merengues, in part because of his failing relationship with Pérez.
“He only ever looked at me as a business relationship,” Ronaldo told France Football.
“I know it. What he told me never came from the heart. I felt it inside the club, especially from the president, that they no longer considered me the same way that they did in the start.
“In the first four or five years there, I had the feeling of being ‘Cristiano Ronaldo’. Less afterwards. The president looked at me through eyes that didn’t want to say the same thing, as if I was no longer indispensable to them, if you know what I mean.
“That’s what made me think about leaving. Sometimes I’d look at the news, where they were saying I was asking to leave. There was a bit of that, but the truth is that I always had the impression that the president would not hold me back.
“If it had all been about money, I’d have moved to China, where I would have earned five times as much than here [at Juventus] or at Real. I did not come to Juve for the money. I earned the same in Madrid, if not more. The difference is that, at Juve, they really wanted me. They told me that and made it clear. They showed me that.
“Zidane? My decision to leave was not based on his departure. That being the case, it’s one of those little things that made me feel a bit better in terms of what I thought of the situation at the club.
Despite losing the FIFA player of the year award, the 33-year-old still has his sights set on winning the Ballon d’Or for a third year in a row.
“I think I deserve it this year … Yes, I dream of winning the Ballon d’Or for the sixth time and passing, in this case, Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo was also asked about the rape allegations made against him by Kathryn Mayorga, an allegation he strongy denies.
“Of course, this story is interfering in my life. I have a partner, four children, an ageing mother, sisters, a brother, a family with whom I am very close. Not to mention my reputation, which is that of someone exemplary … Imagine what it means when someone accuses you of rape, whether you have all that or not.
“I know who I am and what I did. Truth will out one day. And the people who criticise me or seek to expose my life today, who make it into a circus, these people will see.
“I explained to my partner. My son, Cristiano Jr, is too young to understand. It’s worst for my mother and my sisters. They are stunned, and at the same time very angry. This is the first time I have seen them in this state.”

CONCLUSION:

This interview came when Real Madrid is really struggling to get a win under their belt.

Florentino Perez's decision comes really under the question mark now as  he was not able sign anyone who can replace Ronaldo.


But the real question is ''Can anyone replace Ronaldo?"

EL Classico: Barcelona Thrash Real Madrid 5-1 With A Suarez Hat Trick , Real Madrid Manager Will Get Sacked On Monday

Nou Camp scoreboard BAR 5 - 1 RMA 

REAL MADRID HUMILIATED BY MESSI LESS BARCA AS LUIS SUAREZ HITS A BRILLIANT HAT TRICK



 Catalan giants Barcelona humiliate Real Madrid as they puts 5 goals past their arch rival  at the Nou Camp to hold their top spot in the La Liga table. Real Madrid dropped to 9 th position after this emotional loss to Barcelona. Luis Suarez stepped up on his best friend Lionel Messi's absence to hit a sensational hat trick to sink Real's ship and with that loss Real Madrid manager Lopetegui is on verge of getting sacked .








THE GAME AS IT HAPPENED

BARCELONA STARTING XI: Ter Stegen, Roberto, Pique, Lenglet, Alba, Rakitic, Busquets, Arthur, Rafinha, Suarez, Coutinho
REAL MADRID STARTING XI: Courtois, Nacho, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Modric, Casemiro, Kroos, Bale, Benzema, Isco

FIRST HALF; 

Defending champion Barcelona dominated the game from the first whistle of the match.
They were looking far more superior and clinical at all over the pitch. Barcelona pressed really well in the first half and they didn't allowed Real Madrid to really settle on the Nou Camp and Real Madrid midfield really struggled to play some passes together.


10 min-GOAL! COUTINHO, Ivan Rakitic clipped the ball over the top from his half to Jordi Alba who's pace and  first touch to control the ball was sensing trouble for Real Madrid as he waited calmly and placed a perfect ball in the path of Coutinho who made no mistake from that position. 1-0 to Barca .
28 min-GOAL!SUAREZ, Penalty appealed when Luis Suarez went tumbling in the area after a challenge from Varane which looked clumsy. The referee let the play on but later he checked the VAR and the penalty was awarded. Suarez took the penalty and extended the lead for Barcelona.
Barcelona dominated the rest of the first half and Real Madrid never were looking to threat them . 
SECOND HALF;

 Real Madrid had a change on the break as Varane was replaced by Lucas Vazquez and Nacho came inside.

 50 min- GOAL!MARCELO, Isco reached the byline down the right channel and puts a cross into the box which was deflected away by Lenglet from Bale and Benzema in the middle. However, Marcelo picks up the loose ball and kept his composure in the area , took a touch before firing a right-footed finish past Ter Stegen. Real Madrid were back in the match 2-1.
Real Madrid turned the game up after the Marcelo goal and the next goal was very crucial for the match. Madrid certainly were looking lot more dangerous and their belief was boosted by that goal.
56 min- OFF THE POST!  Madrid were inches away from restoring parity  as Modric strucked the inside of the post with Ter Stegen beaten.It was all Real Madrid now - the turnaround in this second half had been remarkable. Barcelona was poor and Real Madrid had been vastly improved since the interval. UNLUCKY.

61 min- OFF THE POST!  Now it was Barcelona's turn to hit the post! The ball floated over to the back post and Roberto turned it back into the middle from the byline. The ball was behind Suarez, but he managed to contort his body to volley it towards goal and against the upright. UNLUCKY.


68 min- CHANCE!  Big chance it was for Real Madrid to level things up! Vazquez got down the right flank before whipping a cross into the box which Benzema met, but he cannot kept his header down when he really should have done better! A striker of his quality should at least hit the target there!


74 min- BARCELONA SUB :Coutinho was replaced by Osmane Dembele .

75 min-GOAL!  BARCELONA 3-1 REAL MADRID (LUIS SUAREZ): 
    Game over at the Camp Nou? Barcelona restored their two-goal lead, and it is a lovely header from Suarez to put them 3-1 up.
Dembele made an immediate impact to drive forward and launch the attack before giving the ball out to Roberto. He clips the ball to Suarez, who diverted a brilliant header past Courtois.

77 min-REAL MADRID SUB: The visitors make an interesting change as Marco Asensio replaces Bale.

80 min-SAVE!  Barcelona came pouring forward on the break as Rakitic drives forward before giving the ball out wide for Suarez. He tried to return the favour by clipping a cross in for Roberto, who cannot get the power on his header to really trouble Courtois.
82 min-REAL MADRID SUB: Madrid are forced into another change here as goalscorer Marcelo is replaced by Mariano Diaz.

83 min-GOAL!  BARCELONA 4-1 REAL MADRID (LUIS SUAREZ) , Barcelona have a fourth, and Suarez has a hat-trick in the Clasico.
Ramos was robbed of possession by Roberto, who immediately played the ball through for Suarez. The Uruguayan only had the keeper to beat, and his finish was exquisite as he lifts his finish over Courtois. 


84 min-BARCELONA SUB: Arturo Vidal replaces Arthur as Barca made their third and final change of the afternoon.
87 min-GOAL!  BARCELONA 5-1 REAL MADRID (ARTURO VIDAL)
87 min-GOAL!  This was getting embarrassing for Real Madrid ! Barcelona had a fifth as Vidal gets in on the act just a few minutes after coming on!
Dembele beats his man far too easily on the left flank and stands his cross up into the middle for Vidal to nod past Courtois having been left completely unmarked!

90 min-CHANCE!  Huge chance for Barca to add a sixth! A cross arrives in the box from Roberto in the right channel and Suarez produces an acrobatic volley with the ball behind him, but this time it is too close to Courtois!

90+1 min-CHANCE!  There will be two minutes of added time at the end of this match as Benzema flashes a chance just wide of the far post!

GAME OVER IT IS 5-1.








CONCLUSION AND LOPETEGUI'S FUTURE:


With the humiliation in the EL Classico Real Madrid board will not take it easily as their Manager Lopetegui is going to be sacked in one or two days.

Previous Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is going to replace him.

No Messi No Ronaldo In 11 Years , How Will Be This Classico For Football World ?

Messi and Ronaldo


First Time In 11 Years Football Greatest Club Match Will Be Played Without Messi And Ronaldo


WHAT IS THE STORY?


The greatest club football match on planet Earth will be played without two of the greatest footballers who are still on their peak,Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

 The El Classico is going to played without it's most precious attractions for the first time in 11 long years.Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the best players in the world and arguably bests in the history of the game. Lionel Messi ruled out from the Classico as he got injured at the weekend against Sevilla after 16 minutes. Cristiano Ronaldo will not feature in this fixture because he is not a Real Madrid player any more as he signed for Juventus in recent transfer window after the world cup in Russia .


                                                                                                                                                                             
EDITOR'S PICKS ( READ MORE )




                                                                                                                                                                                    


WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM THIS CLASSIO IN THEIR ABSENCE?


Barcelona and Real Madrid both are not on their Fluent best form while Real Madrid won their first match in last 6 matches and Barcelona just got their momentum back just after the transfer break when they beat Sevilla at the weekend and got the better of Inter Milan in the midweek.
At Messi and Ronado's absence their will be a bigger chance to be a super star globally for young players of  Barcelona and Real Madrid. These Classico's are watched by almost every fans all over the world irrespective of any club they support. 
Without their absence we may lack their super qualities but these is the battle of two of the best clubs in football and there are still a lot of quality left to make us feel good from their gameplay.
Barca will be depended on Luis Suarez to lead their attack in Lionel Messi's absence while Real Madrid will look forward to Garath Bale for the match deciding quality.
      

Apart from Messi and Ronaldo this fixture will miss the magician Inesta. Who left Barca to play for Vissel Kobe (JAPAN) in the last transfer window at the summer. The classico will definitely miss the ball technician.

PLAYERS TO LOOK OUT;

For Barcelona Arthur is the first name that comes into the mind because of his display against Tottenham. He is the future of the Barcelona midfield as he shown his consistency against Sevilla and Inter Milan too.


For Real Madrid they will expect to control their midfield by the FIFA best player winner Luka Modric. He is continuing his top form since the last season 



POSSIBLE LINEUPS;


FC BARCELONA:  Ter Stegen, Roberto, Pique, Lenglet, Alba, Busquets, Rakitic, Arthur, Rafinha, Coutinho, Suarez


REAL MADRID:  Courtis, Lucas, Nacho, Ramos, Marcelo, Casemiro, Kroos, Modrić,Isco, Bale Benzema.



*Marcelo is not confirmed.



CONCLUSION:


Whenever these two teams play against each other it is a football carnival for all the fans and almost every time these games lives ups to their standard .

The footballing world is again eagerly waiting for this battle on Sunday when Barcelona will host their arch rival Real Madrid .

The sadness of missing Messi, Ronaldo and Inesta will be there but this is the time for the new boys to  make their mark in the world football map.

Barcelona Bags Important Confidence Booster Before The Classico As They Beat Inter Milan 2-0,Lionel Messi Watches From The Stands





Both the goal scorers for Barcelona today vs Inter Milan (Rafinha and Alba)


BARCELONA BEATS INTER MILAN WITHOUT LIONEL MESSI ON THE PITCH



Barcelona beaten Inter Milan thanks to the goals from Rafinha and Jordi Alba as they stay top in their UEFA Champions League group with 3 out of 3 wins. Inter Milan who was on paper had better chances as Barcelona was going to miss their talismanic captain Lionel Messi who got injured in the weekends clash vs Sevilla. But Inter was not looking threatening enough to make the most of the situation. All though Inter remains on the second spot with 6 points in 3 games and they are still the favourites to second the group and qualify for the round of 16.]

Lionel Messi watching the match from the stands;








BARCELONA  2-0  INTER MILAN THE MATCH AS IT HAPPENED


 Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde gave everyone a surprise to keep Rafinha on the starting xi in place of injured Lionel Messi. Osmane  Dembele or Brazilian boy Malcom was  the favourite for everyone but with Rafinha Barcelona got more stability .

 Barcelona dominated the midfield with the likes of Arthur, Rkitic and Buesquets. Arthur is showing some great potential to be the future of famous Barcelona midfield and his playing style is similar to Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez . 

 On minute 32  Luis Suarez put a gorgeous through pass in the penalty box which was calmly put away on the volly by Rafinha to give the lead to the catalan giants and making sure the decision of playing him ahead of Dembele or Malcom was a right decision.

 Barca dominated the rest of the half and the threat of Icardi was well seen of by the Barcelona centre backs Pique and Lenglet.

 Inter started better after the break and Matteo Politano missed a great opportunity to equalise in the minute 52nd  when found by Mauro Icardi's cute backheel, but he blazed his shot over the crossbar. 

  Suarez showed great individual skill before his powerful right-foot strike was saved by Handanovic.

 Philip Coutinho  was unlucky as he hit the crossbar 20 minutes from time. Barca should have extended their lead on that time.

  Barcelona soon went on to score the second goal of the match with Rakitic providing a perfect assist for Jordi Alba who left Handanovic with no chance,his left-foot strike across goal rocketing into the corner.

  In the 89th minute, Lautaro couldn’t make the most of a good chance with men over as his weak shot was saved. After three minutes of stoppage time, the final whistle was blown by the referee and Barcelona won 2-0.

 It was a complete team performance from FC Barcelona to get the better of Inter Milan.





CONCLUSION:

As far as Barcelona's concern performing well in this match going to be very important as they have the Classico at the weekend and they are going to play that match without their talisman Lionel Messi . 

This performance will give the Barcelona players and  coach the belief that they can win without Lionel Messi.

For Inter, they have  to forget this night and prepare for the next match as On Monday 29th October, the Nerazzurri take on Lazio in Rome.
