"I call Madrid Real Immigrant"

There were no such problems before or I didn't notice them. Romário was black and had no problems. But the thing is there is this guy in Madrid who is... I call Madrid Real Immigrant. If Madrid has eight black players, two white foreigners and a Spaniard, Carvajal, and this Vinicius guy comes out here... do you know what he did here? He climbed up on the Mestalla fence and said 'you called me a son of a bytch'. I was at Mestalla that day with my grandson and my son. And I asked my grandson, 'Alfonsito, what are they saying?' And he replied: 'They're calling him stupid'. I thought they were calling him a monkey. But no. And I asked my son Alfonso, who is 40 years old, the father of the child, 'what are they saying?' And he replied with the same thing. 'Stupid'. So the guy comes out, stands there and starts touching himself and saying 'you're going to Second Division'. And they take away his red card; what is this? They banned our fans for two or three games, but they forgave him. He'll be a great player, which I think he is, but he's a... he's a piece of shyt as a person. He's always complaining to the referee. I have been to South America 20 or 30 times and nothing has ever happened to me. I go to South America with humility and I speak with affection. I can't go there acting like I'm a conqueror. This guy can't act like this. Who does he think he is?

"Vinicius es una mierda como persona; al Madrid le llamo el 'Real inmigrante'"

Don't want to see anyone injured, unless they play for Tottenham, so I hope he recovers soon.

welp that sucks, either someone different wins the league or city double down and find a way to still steam over the league without him lol , probably the latter lol

Rodri being out weakens their set piece defending and that they cannot replace that within the squad unless putting Stones in the Rodri role. But we all know Stones isn't durable enough to play week in week out.

Could put Gundogan there but then Citeh lose the box crashing element of Gundogan game.

I'm just saying that Rodri being injured causes a different issue beyond what he does in their build up that people are overlooking. Would Rodri been marking Gabriel instead of Doku and then Walker? Would he of made much difference who knows? But I'm sure teams saw a weakness from yesterday's game at thise set pieces.

yes and no...yea the marking on the set pieces would have definetly been different, i think i saw walker and the doki on the first corner and then on the second one i was like why they marking Gabriel :patrice:even if rodri was on the pitch u gotta get one of your taller man on Gabi and saliba.....To give arsenal credit , their corners would hurt dawn near every team.

lets see

Not to mention KDB is an offensive threat but he's not box to box. Rodri is the key to their entire transition as well. KDB/Foden/Bernardo doesn't get the ball in dangerous positions without Rodri. Kovacic is NOT as progressive as Rodri nor does he get away with the same skullduggery.

I don't see how people can say arguably the best holding mid in the world for at least 3 years is "not a big loss".
