International Champions Cup 2019 - Discussion thread

[Juggy777]

It's a Madrid derby at the ICC 2019, Atletico Madrid have started brilliantly with 2 goals under the first 9 minutes, A goal from Diego Costa and Atletico's new signing Joao Felix scoring on his debut.

Atletico Madrid have thrashed Real Madrid by scoring 7 goals, and in response Real Madrid have been able to score only 3 goals. It’s a new season but it seems that Madrid is playing poor football like they were playing last season, and to make matters worse for them Luka Jovic is injured. I think it’s best if Madrid re-sign Ronaldo and save themselves from further embarrassment, because if they continue playing like this not only will Zidane be sacked, but many players too will be shifted out of the club.

IIRC Joao Felix is targeted by MU, isn't it? Or is that just another media bullshit story?
Anyway, good for him scoring a goal.

Just to reiterate what you said, that's bullshit. I also read about him considering of playing in PL in the future, It just can't be now.

Back to the Madrid derby, It was a really interesting match from the very start to the end of match, 10 goals and 2 red cards. Atletico Madrid won 7 - 3.

Stat Pack: Real Madrid have conceded 12 goals in their last 3 matches 😳

Indeed, it was a very interesting game, Courtois has nothing to offer to Real Madrid, and could be regarded as the worst goalkeeper in Real Madrid's history. Keylor Navas is far better than he'll ever be, the second half of the game proved that. (Real Madrid won the second half 3-2 Atletico Madrid) so I think it's will be best he's made the number one goalkeeper and used permanently throughout next season. Hazard didn't play that bad but wasn't at his best, the rest of the team were trash especially midfielder and defenders.

Diego Costa display was incredible and each time i watch him play, he makes me miss him more as a Chelsea player.

Real Madrid have look really clueless in their recent matches.

I feel terrible for Luka Jovic, I hope it won't be long term injury, Ronaldo and Real Madrid love story is well over already, and it's never happening again.

Indeed a poor display by madrid against their bitter rival in Laliga shows how vulnerable their defense line is by allowing a whooping seven goals with diego costa scoring four of the goals while conceding 5 goals in the first half, some soccer analyst blamed courtis for conceding cheap goals, Zidane should fortifies his team before the market closes in viewing of lingering injuries ravaging the team with Jovic as the latest player means a disastrous season is in the offing which might lead to his early sacking, Paul Pogba will be a good addition in their midfield combining with Luka Modric and Isco because next season will be highly competitive.

A complete disaster for team like Real Madrid. It's a shame that these days they are performing their worse. 3 - 7 lose, 5 goals to conceive in first half. The match was gone out of their hand when they conceived the third goal in under 15 minutes.

Real Madrid really needs a player like Ronaldo back in the team.

But what are the Odds of Ronaldo coming back to Real Madrid ?  1000/1 Not as If he left on good terms. They're bound to go through this one day, They'd get past these evolution phase too. They probably just need some more time, Zidane is capable of that, we've seen that before.

[LTU_btc]

Oh, I regret that I missed Madrid derby. It's shameful result for Real Madrid. But it's just pre-season game and results doesn't matters. Offcourse, there is worrying signs Real Madrid - we see same problems like in last season. And injuries - Marco Asensio, now Jovic. And guys, I think you need to forget Ronaldo, he isn't going back to Real,

[Harkorede]

Hazard fired blank again, that'd be his game third right ? Barcelona match against Kobe ended 2 -  0 in favor of Barcelona, but Griezmann wasn't on target, I guess this two could be up for who'll eventually get their first goal for their new teams.

I think you need to forget Ronaldo, he isn't going back to Real,

Exactly, Ronaldo being at Real again is only just gonna postpone what they're going through (probably), truth is, it's inevitable!

[buwaytress]

Looks like quite a few guys (Well, okay, at least 1 guys that I saw) active in the La Liga thread got his wish. Big time 3/1 win too was well worth it in the end. I'd generally say it means nothing in a friendly but still to let in that kind of goal must have got to them, considering the red card as well.

2 draws and 1 crazy loss. You know they're hurting, friendly or not.

He is gonna be tired of playing and getting older. It is quite to say that a new player will come across each path took over Ronaldo.
I may say, he is near to end up his carrier and let the new (best/athletic) player will lead the game. They show its greatness before and we know it won't last long as I believe, won't see Ronaldo today as Ronald before same with the other old players.

Tonight we have AC Milan and Benfica in the ICC and I am on "I Rossoneri" - even without Theo Hernández

For Real Madrid suffered a severe defeat, I think the only problem Real Madrid has in defense is easy to penetrate.
We are in the process of receiving a new season and the tournaments begin, Coach Zidane should think of his back lines to avoid surprise, For the attacking lines I think the Real have good elements that will achieve the required.

You are right, it's almost impossible for Real to convince Ronaldo.

Well Zidane had some amazing results in the past and I hope he will figure out something to over come from this situation.

Anyway, AC Milan vs Benfica match in this evening and I think it's going to be either a draw or Benfica will win in the full time. AC Milan is not having good time in this tournament. They are at the bottom in the point table.

By the way, just checked the odd for Benfica and it's 11/8 which is tempting LOL

I just started the game, The two sides seem satisfied with the draw. Yes Real Madrid realizes the importance of coach Zidane, Real fans hope the coach will achieve what he has achieved in the past years.

[Harkorede]

Real Madrid vs Tottenham is underway (Audi Cup) not ICC, Real Madrid are on with front line consisting nof Vazquez, Benzema and Hazard, new signing in person of Ndombele is also featuring for Tottenham as well Harry Kane and Son Heung Min.

Bale is not listed in the match day squad: Probably still in search of a new club.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

To many cups. This cup that cup LOL
Yeah I see the live score in flashscores. Not sure how are they playing but considering Tottenhams performance in CL, if they are playing with a balanced team then they should win this match.

By the way, good to see Benfica won against AC Milan other day. It was a 0 - 1 for Benfica.

Those who gambled for Benfica obviously made good money as the odd was 11/8.

And like you said, Spurs did play with a somewhat decent team, and as usual, we lost. Feels like people can win some decent money in this pre-season if they bet against RM. IIRC odds for Spurs to win were around @3.25!

Bayern vs Fenerbahce next. Away win @12.00 and above. Anyone brave enough to go for it? lol

That one goal from Kane made the difference between two teams. I was managed to watch the last 15 minutes of the match. There were nothing much.

Bayern vs Fenerbahce next. Away win @12.00 and above. Anyone brave enough to go for it? lol

Well this one is very hard to go against the odds LOL
Bayern should win the match. So far they are controlling the match. They can score in any moment.

Real Madrid are really losing it this pre-season, Injury plagued, conceding goals consistently and scoring sporadically. Can things get any worse for them ?

I took Fenerbache to win on a Handicap +2.5 @ 1.93 odds.
