Vinícius has been fouled 23 times this season, more than any player in the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga or Ligue 1. Bellingham is joint second on 21.

It fits what you see watching them. To be fair, La Liga has played a couple more games than most of the other leagues, but Vinícius is still two clear of anyone.

A debatable one - but what do we think? Does he get the protection he should, or does the reputation work against him with referees?

Genuinely, why aren’t we playing him more in league games when he was getting consistent minutes last season and we see actually some pressing unlike our current pivot 😒Even putting him on for the last thirty minutes is good enough to build his confidence and surely he doesn’t hide from the ball more than Tchou or Fede

I’m looking to get my first soccer jersey for real madrid. I’m seeing there is a difference in fan vs authentic in terms of fabric. Obviously this being my first, I don’t know the difference of fabrics or how they feel on the body.

For context, I’m prone to sweating and find that I get BO quicker in thinner fabrics.

In front of the demonstrations of Javier Tebas, President of LaLiga and Vice President of the Real Spanish Football Federation, in which he compares the methods of acting of the management of Real Madrid with those used by Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda of the Nazi regime, pointing to Real Madrid Television as Instrument of that so-called strategy, Real Madrid C. F. manifests the following:
1. Real Madrid C. F. considers it absolutely intolerable and of extraordinary gravity that whoever holds two positions of highest responsibility in Spanish football resort to a comparison with the methods of propaganda of the Nazi regime to discredit our club, its management and its television.
The clarification that it does not refer to Nazi ideology does not diminish the deeply offensive, morally repugnant and institutionally unworthy character of their manifestations.

It is extremely concerning that Tibo, our goalkeeper, has the 2nd most passes of everyone in the team. With Konate (a cb) as first, and rudiger (another cb) as third.

This midfield is actually scared of the ball. And in possession struggle to move it forward or close to the box. Mbappe was barely getting the ball to the point that he had to go and drop deeper to get some touches.

We've tried the tchouverde pivot for most of the last 2 seasons. and it's clearly failing. It causes a ripple effect on the rest of the players in the team, limiting players from playing their best position.
