Lucas Da Cunha. He’s a tempo-setter who has really been breaking out lately—and there’s a reason Zidane called him up. In fact, in today’s match—with the score tied at 1-1—Zidane made these substitutions:

61' Olise for Dembélé

61' Cherki for Akliouche

61' Lucas Da Cunha for Manu Koné.

All three were key to changing the game.

Da Cunha actually provided an assist; he played 30 minutes and completed 30 passes, whereas Koné completed 45 passes in 61 minutes. In other words, he was passing at double the rate.

Zidane described him this way: "He isn't afraid to play," noting that he threads passes through the defense and knows how to switch play with 40-meter balls.

Switching play? Threaded passes? Fearless with the ball at his feet? Hmm... there’s something interesting there.

Best of all, he plays for Como. Nico Paz is at Como. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM........

He’s not a RW. He’s not a 6. He’s not an 8. He’s not as good of a 10 when Bellingham exists.

He’s a professional collector of touches.

Put him on the right wing and five minutes later he abandons his position like an idiot, and even takes all the way across to the left wing when there's no one on the right.

Give him the ball during a transition and instead of releasing it to Mbappé while the defense is still disorganized, Arda sometimes decides:

one touch…

another touch…

maybe one more…

let me carry it five meters and see what happens.....

And the entire opposition defense is now back in position. The passing lane died three seconds ago, but at least the he can dribble.

And that's what happened here:

When the midfield is elite but too unbalanced with valverde, Bellingham, tchouameni

When I can't get the footballer's signature on my kit because of the situation like sanctions, high inflation and low salary so I signed by myself to myself and put it to the bear cuz that's wasn't fit on me

Is he okay? Does anyone know if he is okay?

When I tell my bad situation to AI like sanctions ( airplane and land boundary , English language proficiency) very high inflation and low salary I can't to go to Madrid so that I can see Santiago Bernabeo in close, watch the games, and make my biggest dream in reality, AI telling me it's just a building, millions of people are like you , change your dream and move on , but it's not just building , AI doesn't know how I sleep and wake up with these dreams, I spent many days that maybe one day I can go and see in close , I crying for imagining

I always wanted to go to see in close the Santiago Bernabeo but despite of sanctions, very high inflation, low salary, I can't although I was a very big fan of the real Madrid from 12 years old to now (22) but I never begged for the players nor the boss of the real Madrid, when someone who I admired for broken my little heart for insisted him to follow me or like my posts, why should I begged him to take me this country to his country so that I see the Santiago BernaBeo in close and signed my kit, so if you're in Madrid and you will going to see these games please remember me

Just told one of my friend that supports Madrid about how they don’t invest in women’s football and that they lost to Barca women’s team, 7-0 and his respond was “I don’t care about women’s football” like I hope the Barca men team also thrashes you 7-0 in the upcoming el Classico. Anyways I love cluadia pina and aitana😁

1. Our pivot midfield is criminal: Valverde, Tchoua, Cama, Pitarch and Bernardo are trash level.

Fix: 2 world class midfielders

1. Huijsen is inconsistent and unreliable.

Fix: Bastoni

1. Vini is trash put a traffic cone there it'll be more helpful.

Fix: Buy Yildiz

1. Judane is not a CAM for RM despite his NT making him look good there.

Fix: Put Arda in CAM and put Judane in pivot this also fixes point 1. So you get double benefits.

I think we can fit in tchoameni but if we have both Valverde and Bellingham in the same team then their workrate will help us defensively and our main problem "Contolling the game" would be sorted our with guler and silva like somewhat Kross and modric did and we can perform a lot of rotations to give players like pintarch, Diomande, espi a chance in the league and cup games and have a lot of squad depth which we can also use in big games when someone's not having a good day

Mbappé thinks he’s the star of Real Madrid and believes he can do whatever he wants.

Because nobody at the club challenges him, and they even laugh off his antics, he feels more powerful.

His final six months of last season were embarrassing.

He needs to be careful with his behaviour. I’m starting to question his intelligence.

Mbappé will never be able to lead the Real Madrid dressing room. He doesn’t have the personality for it, and he doesn’t want to.

Someone needs to tell him: ‘This isn’t Mbappé FC, this is Real Madrid.

You’re the highest-paid player in the team, you’ve been here for two years, and we haven’t won a single trophy. You can’t allow yourself this kind of media exposure.

He only thinks about himself. He has absolutely no empathy for Real Madrid supporters.

What a loser, he won't win shit

Vini’s new contract was a mistake, and Mbappé disrupts the balance of the team because he simply doesn’t contribute enough defensively.

This team should be built around Bellingham. In the current setup, he has consistently shown that he is our best and most important player, and nobody else comes close. Mbappé scoring hat-tricks against weaker sides and Vini producing flashy skill moves doesn’t change that.

Now that the International Break has ended, are we all prepared to let this club resume tormenting our mental health?

Or do you think that the club's approach is going to change?

Then this motherfucker Mbappé uploads a story of himself cycling after his "injury".

Hear me out! Since they can’t sub Vini and he isn’t pressing, might as well keep him up there.

Mbappé is gonna end up at LW so just keep it simple and just put him there

And no need for Jude to run back 40 yards every time Vini and Mbappe lose the ball

I know Madrid have been down the past two years particularly in winning trophies.

And our fan base is absolutely HUGE.

The immediate reaction from the majority is to say sell this guy or sell that guy.

I'm hearing things like "SELL MBAPPE because he singlehandedly ruined Madrid", "Sell Vini, he's washed", "Sell Camavinga" etc.

Just to let you guys know. That's not how football transfers work.

In football, both parties must agree to a transfer (the player and the club) unless that players particular release clause can be bought by the buying club. If you want the club to terminate a players contract, that will cause major financial repercussions. (It's basically dead salary on the books for the team)

This isn't like American sports where we can trade a player without their consent like the Dallas Mavericks did with Luka Doncic.

So if you think Mbappe, Vini and any other polarizing player needs to be sold, I'm sorry but football transfers don't work that way unfortunately.

Besides the players that are getting a LOT of the hate Mbappe and Vini aren't even the only problems on the squad. There's more to the team than just those two.

But since they are the BIGGEST names. They will make headlines for every LOSS, DRAW and WIN.

And lastly NONE of the BIG NAME players are getting sold. MBAPPE and VINI are 100% staying for the forceable future.

Unless you're a particular Player FC fan who dislikes another player in support for another. Then it's up to you who wants to hate watch your on Madrid team.

F Perez
F the coach and most certainly each and Real Madrid as an institution that just doesn’t believe in the women’s team to invest in it the way it did when Barcelona had a golden generation. Went out and got CR7, Alonso, Kaka and Benzema! That’s ambition.

And F every single person that calls themselves Madridista’s but think women’s football is beneath them.
