Zatman Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Atletico are disciplining Griezmann as he failed to turn up for pre-season. This comes after Atletico hammered Barca for publicly tapping him up which Barca hilariously stated they dont tap up players. It looks like Barca are being forced into signing a player they probably dont need to save face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Atletico gave Real a proper beating yesterday. It ended 7-3 but were 6-0 up at one stage Costa scored 4 then got sent off for fighting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Sociedad were resting a lot of players Isak and Ödegaard for example only played like 30 mins Friendlies are friendlies (apart from Costa) Their season is still 3 weeks away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 saw something on twitter suggesting hes put 7kg on since they signed him madrid have big problems behind the scenes, I don't think Zidane will get the same tune out them 2nd time round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 also seems to be big problems behind the scenes at Valencia, don't fully understand it but it sounds like the owner wants to dabble in transfers and as a result his very good sporting directors have walked out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Hazard has always been a bit chunky, by professional footballer standards at least. I’ve still got a feeling he’ll be Real Madrid’s best player next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right but that doesn't mean that players go out on the pitch to lose. As a footballer you try to win the game no matter the occasion. If not for the game alone, you try to impress you're coaching staff to get yourself into the starting lineup for the upcoming season.

I think that totally depends on the footballer, the team, the scenario etc It's quite clear to anyone that's ever watched a pre season game that they're not as competitive as an actual competitive fixture. Yes the teams try to win, on the most part, but I doubt they particularly care if they lose either. Not to mention they might be experimenting, or trying players out or resting other players etc etc There are a plethora (tee'd it up) of reasons as to why pre-season results mean **** all.
