When you’re good, you’re good.
Even when Luka Modrić completely whiffs on an open shot on goal; he still receives the game winning assist. There was only one goal Wednesday night in Real Madrid’s 1-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao and it came off a completely whiffed shot from Luka Modrić’s leg. Modrić had a pretty good look on goal but the ball completely shanked off his leg to find an open Karim Benzema in front of the net for the goal.
Call it an accidental assist, but at the end of the day, Real Madrid get the win and increase their La Liga lead to seven points.
Love the backheel pass in the buildup!
Yah the backheel was amazing hey
dayum he’s good
Clearly intentional. We all know how great the outside of that right boot is
Great comment. Atalanta plays a style of football that is exciting to watch. The goals come from everyone…not just the strikers. Pašalić does well in this system, and I always thought that “this is they way Croatia should play”. In fact, this is the way that we have been playing lately. The fact that Pašalić has been producing for the repka is no surprise to me. He will never be a Šuker or Mandzo, but his current form and nose for goal will benefit us greatly.
I think pasalic playing and producing is only good news for us. He has shown a good scoring rate for the repka and this is why I am a fan and believer of playing players in good form and proper positions. To be at our best I don’t t think Modric and kovacic should be on field at same time one or the other, and they can come on as subs for each other. We need to make a proper 11.
Those who think pasalic should be striker really don’t see how the game is played. Pasalic is perfect for that behind the striker role as he has good move rate connects well with other talented players and has a nose for the goal. But playing striker is totally different do people watch Atlanta ever? They have a beast at striker who’s a handful they have talented wingers all these players open space for pasalic and allows him to do what HE does well. If pasalic was asked to do the things a striker does he wouldn’t last 60 minutes he would need to be subbed out out of exhaustion. It takes a certain physical ability to play striker most midfielders can’t make that jump. Leave pasalic where he is and where he’s thriving don’t make that same mistake the England of the 2000 and play all midfielders who have a big name and then play players out of position. Remember it takes 11 players that play in their positions and gel together not 11 biggest stars.
Well said. Actually, with Kramarić as that destabilizing striker (which he has been doing all along) or Budimir if he gets back in shape and Pasalić as the finisher behind him, things could go very well.
Marko Pjaca scores 3 goals in 9 games. But played ONLY 291 total minutes. Would love to see this guy get more playing time.
Marko pjaca with a great goal! He’s looking spry!
Pjaca goal! Up 2-0 in 15th.
You need to be good to be lucky, and lucky to be good.
He had a deft pass to Kroos that would have been quite an assist had Kroos scored. Way it goes!
