Sorry mate, that wasted counter was unexcusable. Drama queens? We aren't Getafe or Villarreal. Wtf defends against Simeone? The same team that was besieged by bloody Celta Vigo 4 days ago. Htf does a midfield of Llorente, Gallagher and De Paul impose itself on Modric, Bellingham, Fede and Tchouameni? We were pvssies and Atletico was awful. That sums up the game.

100% this. While other teams get weaker as the game progresses, RM gets stronger. As even the commentators mentioned, RM had 2 days of extra rest. So the Pathetico players were getting gassed and Real Madrid players were winning all the 50-50 balls until the fan fiasco by the racist team. Now they came back and their players had more legs to give it a push. They will look at this as a fruitful tactic because it sent their team to the locker room to comeback with new fervor and Simeone got to talk to the team. Meanwhile Don Carlo stuck his thumbs up his backside and waited until the 86th minute for the quadruple fullbacks masterclass. Smh. Dumbass Endrick. Just stop wasting shots from 35 yds out ffs. I hope he gets a lot of stick from Jude and the rest for that tunnelvisioning, selfish bullshit.
@3:25 Timestamp Even streamers are ripping into Endrick..lmao. Lamine has like 100x more game intelligence than Endrick. That's the real shame.
Its not that he missed a shot or didn't score. It was the completely wrong decision and indicative of the entire team having the wrong "idea." At 89 minutes and go by one goal the team should not be looking for goals and nobody should be trying to be a hero. The game plan at that point is to hold the ball and run down the clock. What the team did was the equivalent of an NFL team being told to kneel the ball from 1st to 4th down and instead going out and throwing Hail Marry's only to see the one of the passes intercepted and returned for a touchdown.
This is how a smart player does it (ie. Gilardino). Endrick should've baited the defender and then laid it off for Bellingham.
🚨 There were a total of 3 minutes, 49 seconds of time wasted in 2nd half.There were 8 minutes of added time. @marca— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) September 29, 2024
No one can know this , this is as usual just speculation after the fact Seems to be on the back foot, and behind the play too often when opposition mids make runs into our box, he must fix this as a DM, i believe he can Of course, this guy and these players just don't know what they are doing that's why we've gone a record number of games unbeaten, the shallowness is astounding, wailing wailing wailing after an individual mistake
So, Endrick was at fault that Rüdiger blows the offside trap and Correa slices the central defense in half and scores a goal 5 minutes after his mistake.
It is because your logic was ridiculous and still is ridiculous. We can rewind the tape to unlimited times where players made a play and you can nitpick all you want about the countless other options he could have taken instead of shooting the ball. What is strange is that you chose to nitpick on an instance where a goal was scored by Endrick. There was no guarantee that had Endrick passed the ball it would have been a goal. I don't mind that he took a shot, he's a STRIKER, it is what he is supposed to do, take chances! And if he feels he is confident in his ability to get better by taking chances and scoring goals, then good for him, let him continue to do so. Clearly he has the ability. That is after all how Vinicius has become arguably our best player, by taking chances and nkt shying away like some Jabroni.
Endrick making a silly decision doesn't excuse not defending well minutes later. What a weird idea to connect the two. Sure, maybe the game develops different if he holds on to it there, but you might as well say the game develops different if we score one of our better chances during the game.
Can we actually take a look back and see that we did not create any chance at all. Atletico was bang average but we just did not have any game plan in attack. It was all vinicius and inshallah or Valverde and inshallah.
Using your best players and mismatches to your advantage is a gameplan in itself. I disagree that Atletico were average but the nature of the game was pretty reserved. Neither team wanted to open up.
Don’t blame a young Endrick, be happy that he has the balls to do what he did. That’s what Ronaldo did at United and Vini Jr did when he first joined too. It’s the difference between the truly WC and the best players. For example, Rodrygo would never try that, that’s why he isn’t at Vini Jr level.
Bro... My fking brain.. I actually had a dream this night where Camavinga came on. I was extatic to see him and then he reinjured himself after 5 minutes on the pitch.
It's also Carlo this and Carlo that again and Xabi Alonso coming in to save a club from distress, who has 3 domestic titles to his name, period.
From what I saw Jude was way behind, so more Atleti defenders would have caught up before Jude got close to the area. Not a good option IMO
