I am very, very nervous.
Our match against bayern will be decided on pep response and more importantly, the defensive effort from CR7 and Bale. one of those two has to drop back to defend when under pressure. what is most important for Real madrid to win this is two things: We need to score a goal or two, We absolutely must keep the 8 man defensive shape that won us the first leg. we cannot let it be 7, has to be 8. Bale or Cr7 must stay back when under attack.
Carlo says we will attack. imo, he will pull a modern catenaccio like the last leg to keep us in this tie. some idiots say we parked the bus in the first leg. to ptb, you need 10 guys in yer own box. we had an narrow, organized 8 man defense with Benz and CR7/Bale up in midfield or higher up the pitch waiting to counter attack. Pressure is on Bayern to attack, allows us to counter them more easily. We cannot afford to miss chances and we cannot afford to concede. I question whether starting CR7 and bale is a good idea. It would require one of the two to stay back and defend, neither do well tracking back.
in any case. Madrid must prevail. That fraud hipster cannot be allowed to win any further!
