My take on the Jude slander after RMA vs ManCity

8th April 2024

I have seen so many people straight up hating Jude for yesterday’s game, and I just can’t stay silent anymore, so enjoy my little rant.

Playing football, especially on the level of Real Madrid is (apart from skill and mindset) also a lot about building and keeping rhythm. This applies to any team but also to each and every player - Toni Kroos has mentioned this a couple of times already but I’m sure you can find a lot more players talking about this.

So let’s take a look at Judes appearances in 2024:

started the year strong with 5 games (Copa del Rey (1), Supercopa (2) and LaLiga (2))

missed the away game vs UD Las Palmas (27th January) due to a yellow suspension

played three games in LaLiga again

missed three more games due to his ankle injury (LaLiga (2), UCL (1))

played the away game vs Valencia and got THAT red card

missed two more LaLiga games due to the suspension

his first (and last) game before the one vs City was the game against Bilbao last week

-> all in all he played 12 (5 of which were in January) out of 19 games total (not counting international games)

Compared to that the games he missed this season in 2023:

the home game benched against UD Las Palmas (27th Sept)

one game benched vs Braga in the UCL (8th Nov)

one game due to shoulder injury against Valencia (11th Nov)

-> in 2023 he played 21 out of 24 games total (not counting international games)

Yes I expected a better performance from him (and Vini!).

Yes we are Real Madrid and no player stands above the club (if you don’t show up we will hold you accountable for your mistakes).

Yes a player like Jude should be able to compensate a missing rhythm with his talent and skill but he is still very young. Older players like Lukita can rely on 10+ years of playing in the white shirt on the highest level possible, he only needs seconds even when he spends more time on the bench than the pitch. Jude is still learning and has shouldered an unusually huge responsibility in his first season.

Normally our young transfers are give time to adjust at Real, they were/are not guaranteed starters, for example:

Camavinga was mostly used as a sub in 21/22

Rodrygo wasn’t even a regular part of the first squad in 19/20, and was still used as a super sub in 21/22

Vini rarely was part of the starting XI in 19/20

Tchouameni had his fair share of being subbed on/off last season (although less than one would expect)

Brahim was sent away on loan

Arda sadly rarly gets playtime as well etc etc

Jude however has started almost every game, he scored more goals than our two wingers and is carrying Zidanes legendary “5” on the back (while Vini only got Ronaldos Hazards “7” this season, even though Hazard never really played in these last years and Real could’ve reasonably taken the number away from him)

So to all those that are hating on him, that are saying he’s loosing form, he’s overhyped and overrated and I have even heard he apparently “partyed too much”. To the ones that were only praying for his downfall waiting for a bad game - please kindly shut up!

Criticism is good and healthy, but there is no need to slander him like this. It was ONE very bad game and unfortunately it was against ManCity, as long as he shows up next week everythings gonna be fine. Regardless of this he has saved our asses way more than he’s let them down this season. Give him a some time and he’ll come back and be the Judey starboy we all know and love.

Of all the RM players to get red-carded, Toni Kroos was not even on the fucking list. He thinks like an AI I thought it was impossible for him to miscalculate whether he'd get a red card or not.

Bellingham Impresses Again as Real Madrid Tops La Liga with Girona Win

Real Madrid climbed to the top of La Liga by defeating Girona, marking the first loss of the season for the latter. Madrid now sits ahead of both Girona and Barcelona in the standings. Carlo Ancelotti's Madrid is one point clear of Barcelona and two points ahead of Girona.

Jude Bellingham made an impact on Saturday as he led Real Madrid to a resounding 3-0 victory over Girona in the early season clash in the Spanish league. Girona entered the round undefeated with six wins, a record that had propelled them to the top of the standings for the first time in the club's history.

After Aurelian Tchouaméni doubled the lead, Bellingham completed the scoring with his sixth goal of the season in the eighth round. Bellingham said, "This was an important win. We showed our intent in La Liga - three goals against a tough team and a clean sheet, which was a very good performance." Girona's coach, Michel Sanchez, praised Bellingham's exquisite pass, stating that it caused significant damage when Girona had been playing well. He said, "Madrid was full-on today, and that opener made us realize how tough the game was going to be." Bellingham credited his teammate, Luka Modric, who was on the Madrid bench, for inspiring him. He said, "I've been watching Modric every day for three months. I just want to be creative. It was a good goal because it relieved the pressure they had put on us initially." Chouaméni added a second goal in the 21st minute, taking advantage of the space left by Toni Kroos's corner kick. Five minutes into the second half, Girona had a chance to get back into the game when David Lopez headed straight at Kepa Arrizabalaga from a corner kick, keeping Madrid's goal safe. Michel sent more aggressive players into the match, and Girona pushed forward, but Madrid never looked troubled in defending their territory, securing a comfortable victory. Jose Lu provided assistance for Bellingham's second goal in the 71st minute after Espanyol's former striker found the net to make it 3-0 following Girona's response. Madrid lost defender Nacho Fernandez to injury when he was shown a straight red card for a studs-up tackle on Girona's Christian "Portu" Portugues. Portu had to be stretchered off the field. A brief confrontation between players ensued due to the foul play. Ancelotti apologized to Girona for the unsportsmanlike conduct, which he described as "thoughtless." Michel said that Portu would undergo tests to determine the extent of his injury. Real Madrid will continue its Champions League journey with a trip to Napoli on Tuesday.

Real Madrid's Rodrygo Leads Victory over Sevilla with Stunning Brace

Real Madrid Secures Victory over Sevilla with Rodrygo's Brace In a thrilling LaLiga match on Saturday, Real Madrid emerged victorious against Sevilla with a 2-1 win, powered by a stellar performance from Rodrygo. Notably absent from the lineup was Vinícius Júnior, the Brazilian player who has been subjected to racial abuse, causing an international uproar. Unfortunately, Vinícius was unable to join the team due to a reported knee injury, which also kept him sidelined during the midweek match against Rayo Vallecano. The absence of Vinícius comes amidst widespread outcry, particularly in his home country of Brazil, following the racial abuse he endured from fans during the previous weekend's game against Valencia. In addition to Vinícius, Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio were also unable to participate due to injuries. However, Rodrygo, the 22-year-old forward, shone brightly in Madrid's starting lineup, supported by five midfielders. Despite missing an early scoring opportunity, Rodrygo showcased his skills and determination. However, he expressed slight disappointment when coach Carlo Ancelotti substituted him with defender Nacho in the final 20 minutes to safeguard the lead. "I had my sights set on a hat trick, but the coach decided it was enough," Rodrygo expressed. Ancelotti, commenting on Rodrygo's desire to continue playing, stated, "His focus was on scoring, while mine was on securing the victory. Our interests diverged, but the team always remains the top priority." Sevilla coach José Mendilibar, who has significantly revitalized the team since his appointment two months ago, opted to rest some key players, including striker Youssef En-Nesyri, ahead of the crucial Europa League final against AS Roma in Budapest on Wednesday. Aiming to claim their record-extending seventh Europa League title, Sevilla is eager to achieve success. Sevilla took an early lead in the third minute when Rafa Mir capitalized on a rebound from Bryan Gil's initial shot that struck a Madrid defender. However, Rodrygo swiftly equalized in the 29th minute with a cleverly executed free kick that caught goalkeeper Yassine Bounou off guard, curving it around the defensive barrier. In the 36th minute, Érik Lamela came close to reclaiming the lead for Sevilla but hit the post. However, Rodrygo wasn't finished yet. In the 69th minute, he secured his second goal by skillfully evading defender Gonzalo Montiel after receiving a pass from Toni Kroos during a counterattack. Sevilla's Marcos Ocuña was shown a direct red card in the 84th minute for a studs-first tackle on Dani Ceballos, reducing Sevilla to ten men. With the win, Real Madrid solidified their second-place position, while Sevilla currently occupies the 10th spot with one match remaining. Barcelona had already clinched the title three rounds earlier. In the upcoming final round, the remaining nine matches will be played simultaneously on Sunday, with seven teams embroiled in a fierce relegation battle. Read the full article

Girona draw level with Real Madrid

Toni Kroos given his first career red card in injury time for Real Madrid's first La Liga red card since 10 April 2021 against Barcelona.

After a thrilling draw with Girona, Toni Kroos received his first career dismissal as unbeaten Real Madrid climbed to the top of La Liga. When Vinicius Jr. slid Federico Valverde’s low cross into an open goal, Real believed they had won the match. However, after a handball by Marco Asensio, veteran Cristhian Stuani equalized from the penalty spot with his first touch. During stoppage time,…

Marcelo: Hey Sergio! It's your birthday today

Ramos: yEA

Marcelo: Do, you want.. red..

Ramos: yES..YES...

Marcelo: ..red velvet cake..?

Ramos: oh! Uhm.. yeah that'll work too.

[rnodric]

still fuming about how toni had to get multiple stitches on his tibia and was literally bleeding during the match but auba didn't get a red card for that. like okay i guess it's fine to go around possibly severely injuring people, maybe next time our players should go around trying to stomp on you guys?

yea i saw. also with the beef they had previously about the mask celebration it felt so awkward. auba is childish i never liked him. hope toni is okay. the tackle looked very nasty and directed at his leg, it's a red card in my opinion. kroos even got a yellow later that match for something much smaller lol

The whole world hates people like you and your country because all you lot are is colonisers, racist and Xenophobic. All of you in your posh houses don't know what hardship is like. Fucking hope the Swedish smash you on the weekend because I hate your country

The whole world hates people like me? People who want their team to win and slam opposing players for dirty tactics on the pitch (by the way, if England were headbutting people and dragging them to the ground I’d criticise England too. I was one of the few people I know who admitted that the penalty Tunisia got against us was definitely a correct decision), but still utterly condemn and hate any racism/offensive behaviour shown to said country, someone who says that the newspaper report is absolutely vile and disgusting and should never have been published.

I’m a coloniser am I? Despite having absolutely nothing to do with the colonisation of countries because I’m far too young. Yes, my country have historically been colonisers and therefore I fully understand some of the hate that people feel for England, but if this is the case then the French, Spanish and Portuguese should receive the same hate, but they don’t. All I see is people all over the world cheering for Mbappe, Iniesta and Ronaldo, but no hatred for being ‘colonisers’, everyone seems to love them. Especially in Latin America where (and I may be wrong here but I don’t think I am. If I am please feel free to correct me and I will apologise for inaccurate facts) Britain had no colonies, it was mostly the Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch who colonised South America. We certainly held colonies in Central America but I don’t think we did in the South. It was the Italian Christopher Columbus who is held in high esteem by so many who ‘discovered’ America and look what happened there. Yes, the English went over and colonised America, but so did the Spanish, French and Portuguese again. Everyone loves the German team, despite what their country did in WW2. Now I’m not saying it’s right to hate the Germans who were not even born during WW2, but that is exactly what people are doing to England. While I am in no way advocating hatred against these nations, because it is irrational to compare Toni Kroos etc to Hitler because they had nothing to do with him, I am confused at the hate the English are getting while the French are being loved worldwide for beating Argentina and other European countries are so loved. I’m not denying that a few hundred years ago, the English were colonisers and an extremely aggressive country, but we are not the only ones to have done so. And you know what, that Swedish team you want to smash us at the weekend, historically their country colonised others too. England itself was also colonised itself, not on the scale as it has done to other countries, but it happened that long ago that people ignore it. Please everyone do not think that this section is me supporting British colonialism, because I am with the people who think the British committed atrocities. I have studied history and I know ful well what a barbaric country we once were, but this is merely my reply to this person (who I’m pretty sure is the same person who has bombarded my ask box with hate messages), letting them know that while the English were awful, other nations did the same and do not receive hate for it.

As for the whole racist and xenophobic bit, I can assure you we are not all like this. England is one of the most multi cultural places in the world and the multi cultural differences have shaped this country. People like Nigel Farage, Katie Hopkins and Tommy Robinson are despised by most of the British publish for their views. I know many immigrants, people of colour, and people of different religions and I respect each and every one of them. I have worked with Show Racism the Red card to try eradicate racism in sport, as well as in society. I have volunteered for the British Red Cross as well as other things, trying to get rid of racism because I despise it. Immigration has made this country better, we have so many doctors and nurses, teachers, ordinary people who have given so much to this country despite not being born here and again, the majority of people respect them for it, and know the good they do. While we are on the topic of football, look at the England team, where there are now so many people of colour. Look at the starting XI yesterday: Walker, Young, Alli, Sterling, Lingard, and then Rose and Rashford coming on. Not to mention Alexander-Arnold, Delph, Loftus-Cheek and Welbeck. We are a very diverse nation and it is now reflecting in our football team, somewhere where it has struggled to do so for a while. There is still a long way to go I admit that, but this is a huge step. There are far right wing supporters in every country across the world, and we have them here, and I condemn them at every chance I get. I’m not saying we’re all perfect, but were clearly not all racist.

As for the whole posh thing, you know nothing about my life and you couldn’t be more wrong. I am well aware that I am luckier than most and I do not take that for granted, and while I’ve been through hardships, I know many people have suffered far worse, but I’ve not had it easy. I have certainly never lived in a posh house. My parents are as working class as you could get and have worked damn hard over the years to make sure me and my brother had a roof over our heads, and there were several times we nearly lost the house. I don’t want to give too many more details about my upbringing, but at times it was difficult, though I know that thousands of people suffer more, even in Britain. So many kids are homeless in this country, not in posh houses, so please don’t judge everyone in this country based on the Queen or rich people like Benedict Cumberbatch. We are absolutely not posh and so many people in this country know what true hardship is like, just in a different way to how others have suffered.

I hope this has been somewhat informative and I hope I haven’t offended anyone with writing this. If I have, I apologise because that was not my intention. I once again condemn the actions of the British empire for their role in colonialism, and as I’ve stated throughout, my country is less than perfect but don’t drag us all under the same bracket, and if you want to do so, stay away from my blog and do it.

Real Madrid - Inter Milan 2:0

Real Madrid won the group D in the Champions League and will play in the group of 16.

The first minutes were very even, but it was Real who scored the goal in the 17th minute from a great shot by Toni Kroos.

After the goal Inter started playing better and dominated the whole rest of the 1st half, but wasn’t able to score, because of our great defensive performance.

The second half started very even. Both teams had their chances, but didn’t use any of them.

In the 64th minute Militao made a legal body checked against Barella, who then flipped out and hit Militao into his calf. That resulted with Barella getting sent off and Militao getting booked. After the red card, Inter was pretty helpless. They got 1 good chance from a corner, but the ball landed directly in Courtois gloves.

In the 78th minute Ancelotti decided to make 3 substitutions. Rodrygo, Kroos and Jovic went off and Asensio, Valverde and Mariano went in. The first one of the 3 became the hero of the action just minute later, when he slammed a brilliant ball into the post and to the goal from around 17 meters.

After today’s matches Real Madrid knows 2 potential opponents for the group of 16: PSG and Sporting Lisbon.

scorers: 1:0, Kroos 17′

2:0, Asensio 79′

Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Casemiro (71′ Camavinga), Modric, Kroos (78′ Valverde); Vinicius (81′ Hazard), Jovic (78′ Mariano), Rodrygo (78′ Asensio)

Inter Milan: Handanovic; D’Ambrosio, Skriniar, Bastoni; Dumfries (46′ Dimarco), Barella, Brozovic (60′ Vidal), Calhanoglu (60′ Vecino), Perisic; Lautaro Martinez (66′ Gagliardini), Dzeko (60′ Alexis Sanchez)

yellow cards: Milita - D’Ambrosio, Bastoni

red card: Barella 64′

Best Real Madrid players: Vinicius, Militao, Alaba, Modric, Kroos

Worst Real Madrid player: Rodrygo
