Schuster’s Madrid

Ola Madrididstas!

I just wanna give comments about Madrid of Bend Schuster’s era. There are some keys why Madrid become a better side in this season campaign an all thanks to Schuster’s decission. Although the last two weaks showed that Madrid is weakening! beaten 2-1 by Mallorca, and won two other games unsurely. But they played effectively as Nistelrooy stated.

Still, Madrid is not just solid now. They play decent games, and more3 artistic then the Era of Capello’s. They are stronger now! But Capello put some basic of the rise of Madrid, at least some of his decisions gave Schuster ideas, two I guest, they are:

1. Putting Sergio Ramos on the right wing. Ramos is string as central defender, but it waste his furious attacking capability, and Capello didn’t care how late he was to realize this, so when Salgado was out for injuries Ramos was plotted on the attacking-defending right side.

2. Letting Robinho dancing. Capello is not the kind of coach would letting his player dance a lot. Passes, determination, team play, and solid defence are on the books. Too much dancing? Peter Pan leaves Roma and Madrid for the cause. But last season, in the last several games, Raobinho had more chances and room to show what games he could play. The rise of Beckham dan Robinho was key poin of Madrid victory.

Schuster also make some good decissions, thanks to new players especially Sneijder and Pepe, He then find out what Madrid could be as it is now. Here are some of Schuster’s touches:

1. Baptista, last chance best chance! Schuster’s decission to give Baptista couple chances proven effective and positive for both Madrid and Baptista himself. He plays solid games in the middle showing his strong determination, reclaming his name ‘Beast’ to the world. The combination of Diarra, Sneijder and Batista creating solid Madrid, they helped the defensive squad far better then before. Baptista giving what Guti couldn’t perform : tackling and defens. With Sneijder’s visions Madrid don’t need to worry where assists and distributions would come.

2. Sneijder signing is priceful one. Sneijder as I mentioned before has visions and solid in defense, good tacklings. But his not just giving Madrid solid plays but also great passes. Do Madrid miss Beckham? him personally may be yes, but they don’t misses any crosses, set pieces or free kick takers, because this little dutchman give almost everything mentioned. But sneijder is like two sided knife for Madrid, He still has phsicological problems. The last three games showed how Sneijder still couldn’t handle the pressures. When Sneijder failed to perform, Madrid won’t perform! But Mr.schuster wont bother with the issue since he still has a great player to be played: Guti!

3. Baptista’s placement on the left flank gives Madrid Samba line with Marcelinho often overlappings and Robinho’s furious dancings. Madrid have both strong offensive line from both flanks. Samba lefty’s and Sergio Ramos explosive overlaps from the right side, plus Sneijder. But the left side still have something to improve. Marcelinho is slightly poor in defense. But las four games he shows that he is improving now.

4. Pepe Cannavaro on the heart of defense. Simply strong. Not to add an always superb performer under the goal: King Cassilas!

5. Tripple R, razing and rattling contenders, Robinho, Ruudtje and Raul have good chemisties between them. Raul often play as a wall giving wall passes, inviting one two passes and always showing his a game maker like vision. Never need to always make goals. Raul always play well, he is hungry also this season.

Hope the best for MAdrid.
