Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil & Jose Mourinho Go Out Like Losers

Posted on 18 May, 2013, by in Soccer

All the questions of uncertainty are back on the table once more, even if the season isn’t completely over. Cristiano Ronaldo went back to his younger, foolish and hot tempered self by trying to kick the head off of Gabi. Jose Mourinho simply continued the awful road he’s been on this season which reeks of opportunism, selfishness and sabotaging. Mesut Ozil, just like in other big matches over the last few seasons, simply wasn’t there when Real Madrid needed him to. More

Posted on 1 May, 2013, by in Soccer

After getting knocked out of the Champions League in the semifinal stage for a third consecutive time, the comments made by Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho after the match seemed to grab more headlines than the match itself, which turned out to be another failure for a team that should have done a whole lot more over the past few seasons.

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Fails Along With Jose Mourinho

Posted on 25 Apr, 2013, by in Soccer

If this was one of the final matches for Jose Mourinho as a Real Madrid manager, it will be an arrogant display that shows the Portuguese manager doesn’t always learn from past mistakes, while giving Cristiano Ronaldo hardly any help to try and do something against an opponent he knew he’d struggle with, relying too much on his ability to win matches on his own.

Real Madrid – Mesut Ozil Covers For a Misfiring Cristiano Ronaldo

Posted on 21 Apr, 2013, by in Soccer

A win in a match like this is measured by other things than what it does for a team in a title race, which is non-existent anymore. Real Madrid are about building morale, creating consistency among certain players, with Mesut Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo not getting a rest despite more important matches left to play, while keeping healthy those in need of more rest didn’t’ work out perfectly.

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Continues to Hide Weaknesses

Posted on 17 Mar, 2013, by in Soccer

A tricky match against a team fighting for survival in the La Liga ended in an impressive result thanks to some quality finishing from Cristiano Ronaldo, Gonzalo Higuain and even the resurgent Luka Modric, but it does show Real Madrid suffer from the same problems that have been haunting them all season.

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Has Luka Modric to Thank For

Posted on 6 Mar, 2013, by in Soccer

Who knew that Cristiano Ronaldo would be this bad once again facing his “alma mater”, but still good enough to score two goals? The bigger surprise was Luka Modric entering the match, and actually taking over it after a season of nothing but being criticized for being a terrible failure with Real Madrid. More

Real Madrid – Morata & Sergio Ramos Steal Show From Cristiano Ronaldo

Posted on 18 Feb, 2013, by in Soccer

With the league being the least important competition at the moment for Real Madrid, it was no surprise to see Morata and Kaka in the starting lineup. A match that could have gone in a very different direction after Sergio Ramos got sent off, but eventually didn’t need anyone to step up, not even Cristiano Ronaldo, to pick up a meaningless win.

Real Madrid – Mesut Ozil & Angel Di Maria Didn’t Come Through

Posted on 14 Feb, 2013, by in Soccer

Maybe Jose Mourinho has a point in deflecting the blame from his own players to the way Manchester United played, but in all fairness, Real Madrid needed more from Cristiano Ronaldo, and more from the talent around him, that didn’t step up – especially Angel Di Maria and Mesut Ozil. More

Real Madrid & Jose Mourinho Needed More From Cristiano Ronaldo

Posted on 13 Feb, 2013, by in Soccer

It’s not over yet, but the smell of defeat was in the air. Jose Mourinho had no answers to the Manchester United defense, or a couple of great saves from David de Gea. What he needed the most was Cristiano Ronaldo at his best for more than one half, and more than just a single goal. That didn’t happen, and Real Madrid find themselves not too far from ending their season in February. More

Real Madrid – When Cristiano Ronaldo Gets Everything Right

Posted on 10 Feb, 2013, by in Soccer

All it took for a potentially complicated match for Real Madrid, as many tend to be this season, was Cristiano Ronaldo deciding to continue his amazing home form this season, scoring a second consecutive Bernabeu hat trick before making his early exit from the game, to get some rest with the Champions League in mind.
