Real Madrid v Kashima Antlers Prediction

Real Madrid are the favorite team to win this tournament. The team manage by Zinedine Zidane have a very good chance to try to win this trophy as they did two years ago at Morocco. With the the great run Real Madrid have of 36 official matches unbeaten, Los Blancos arrive to this match with great confidence. With the injury of Sergio Ramos, Pepe might repeat in the starting 11 being Varane’s partner in the defense. Los Blancos are showing a great level and they can be a bit tired because of the amount of games they played in the last weeks. We think Real Madrid will win this trophy because they have much more quality than the opponent .

We could saw that Kashima Antlers are very difficult team to beat because they don’t receive too many goals in the games. The Japanese team have disqualified important teams in the FIFA Club World Cup and now they have the opportunity to win the trophy but first they must beat Real Madrid, a very difficult task for all the teams that faced them in last months. The great virtue of this team is the organization in the defense . It seems that it’s quite difficult score a goal to the Japanese team because tactically they are very strong.

Real Madrid played 10 days ago against Borussia Dortmund in the last game of the Champions League group stage. Unfortunately for Los Blancos, they could only draw, so they finished in the second position. Florentino Pérez and the board were keeping a close eye to two Borussia players: Weigl and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Actually, the Gabonese said after the game that he would be happy if he could play for Los Blancos.

However, Real Madrid bosses were not only thinking in these two players. According to the German newspaper Bild, Los Blancos were also interested in Sokratis Papastathopoulos. The Greek full back is doing a great season and he could be the replacement for Pepe, whose contract ends in June and he hasn’t renewed it yet.

According to the German press, Real Madrid scouters saw the games against Eintracht and Borussia Gladbach to see the Greek defender performances. Sokratis is 28 years old and he has played 12 games in the starting eleven for Borussia Dortmund in Bundesliga this year. He arrived to Dortmund in 2013 after paying to Werder Bremen €9,5M in a transfer fee. He stayed only two years in Bremen, where he arrived from Italy. In Serie A he played three seasons in Genoa and Milan, not having a great success in the ‘rossonero’ team.

Real Madrid have to wait until the CAS decide about the ban of buying players. If Los Blancos cannot sign any new player, they’d have to either renew Pepe or bring Jesús Vallejo back. The youngster is currently playing the Bundesliga for Eintracht Frankfurt and he has become one of the best defenders of the competition.

However, Pepe also deserves a good treatment from the club. The Portuguese has been one of the most important players of the squad and has won every single title since his arrival. Most of the players of the squad have already renewed their contract, but we’ll have to wait a little bit more to have any update regarding Pepe’s situation.

FIFA introduced in the Club World Cup the new Video Review System. The technology is creating a lot of controversy and, actually, most of the people involved weren’t very happy about the situation.

There are two controversial actions. In the first semifinals, the referee Viktor Kassai pointed the penalty spot after seeing the Video Review System. However, he didn’t realize that the Japanese player was in offside. In the Real Madrid game, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the second goal in the last minutes after a great assist from Álvaro Morata. The referee whistled the offside for a few moments and he asked the Video Review System. After a few moments of hesitation, he finally decided it was a legal goal.

Most of the Real Madrid players and even the coach weren’t very happy about the new technology. For instance, Zidane said: “The problem is that we need to adapt to what FIFA wants. I have my idea. In this action it created confusion. Perhaps, everything need to be more clear. The technology should improve the situation. The topic is not very clear, like it was shown in that action, but today it was fair. I had a look at it and Cristiano was not in offside”, Zidane said.

Luka Modric was named player of the game but he wasn’t very happy with the Video System Review: “It’s a new invention and to be honest I don’t like it. It creates confusion and I hope this rule will not continue because this is not football to me and I don’t like it. We have to focus on our game but the first impression is not positive”.

Finally, also Lucas Vázquez wasn’t very happy about it: “I think today this was shown again, in the first half. The disallowed goal of Benzema was offside and was seen quick enough. You lose the essence of football. This topic has been commented in the dressing room but we are professionals and we are waiting for the decision”.

Real Madrid players and coach were very happy after the victory against Club América to seal a place in the FIFA Clubs World Cup on Sunday. According to the French manager, the game wasn’t easy and the team didn’t play a great game but the goal was accomplished.

About the game, Zidane wanted to highlight the second half: “At the end we got what we were looking for. The first half was a bit difficult because the pitch was hard and the ball didn’t run. In the second half, it was better. We had to kill the game and we did it at the end. Now we have the most important game, it’s to win the trophy. We are going to rest well because we’re playing again on Sunday. We came for the trophy and we go for it”.

After the game, Benzema said Zidane was like a brother to him. The striker went to the bench to hug Zidane in the first goal: “I greeted Benzema for the goal. He didn’t say anything to me. I’m happy because it’s always important that a striker scores, like Cristiano did. I’m happy for him every time he scores, like with everybody else. The hug it was because I was happy and we were winning the game, but there is still one match left”.

Zizou also spoke about the final on Sunday: “You never know what it’s going to happen and because of that we saw all the team. We know who are we facing. Now we have to rest and think in the final. We came from very far away and it’s only one game left to lift the title. We’re ready, especially in motivation. We want to do everything to win the World Cup. There is no special player, it’s the Japonese team and it won’t be easy”.

About the Video Review System, Zidane spoke against the technology: “The problem is that we need to adapt to what FIFA wants. I have my idea. In this action it created confusion. Perhaps, everything need to be more clear. The technology should improve the situation”, Zidane finished.

Real Madrid continue making history after beating Club América (0-2) in the semifinals of the FIFA Clubs World Cup in Yokohama (Japan). Los Blancos will face Kashima Antlers in the final on Sunday to win the third trophy of the year. Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, both in the injury time, scored the decisive goals.

It was a very tough game for Real Madrid, as it was expected. América pressured well and put Los Blancos in trouble but Zidane’s side was always better and they had chances to close the game before the last minutes. Los Blancos continue with their unbeaten run and they’re even closer to finish the year with another title. The first year with Zidane on the bench.

Real Madrid were far better than their opponent, although América compete until the end. Especially Lucas Vázquez and Luka Modric played a great game, although we could see some of the players tired and getting used to Japan. The first half was very tight but Los Blancos had the better chances, especially a header by Cristiano Ronaldo who hit the post. The goal arrived in the last minute, when Kroos made a great assist to Benzema.

With the difference in the scoresheet, Real Madrid could score many goals in the second half. América players were tired and Los Blancos found a lot of gaps in the counter attack. However, they missed some amazing chances, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who could have scored with a header with the goalkeeper already beaten. The second goal arrived in the 93rd minute, when the game was already over. Cristiano Ronaldo finally found his goal.

Real Madrid found a well deserved victory against Club América and they are just one match ahead of winning a trophy. Zidane has won the two other finals he had been involved this year. Will Real Madrid lift the FIFA Club World Cup trophy on Sunday?

Jesé Rodríguez is not happy in Paris and the club is not happy with the striker. Therefore, both parties are already considering the divorce as soon as in the winter transfer window. Unai Emery, PSG coach, is not giving many opportunities to the former Real Madrid striker, who is struggling to show his quality in France.

Real Madrid sold Jesé Rodríguez this summer for a €25M transfer fee to PSG. The Canarian player arrived to Paris as an star to reinforce the attacking line after the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It won’t be very difficult to fill the gap of the Swedish striker but Jesé was ready for the challenge.

However, only 5 months later, the Spaniard could leave France. He has only played 9 games in the Ligue One, one in the starting eleven. His only goal in the French League arrived in November against Nantes. Very poor numbers for a PSG striker.

Jesé is not happy in París and even Emery has opened the door to the Spanish player: Why is he not playing more? I think he’s a good player. I improved his adaptation. It’s a matter of continuity, rhythm. When he plays some minutes, he is doing well, but he needs more work every day to keep improving. Now I don’t think in the possibility of him leaving, but I have to speak with the club for options to make us improve”.

The easiest possibility at this moment would be a loan. Spanish club Las Palmas have already asked for a loan agreement to PŜG. Jesé was born in the Canary islands, so it could be a good option for him to gain confidence. Besides, Las Palmas are in a great moment in La Liga, far away from the relegation zone.

Another option for Jesé could be AS Roma. He scored a wonderful goal in the Last 16 Round in the Champions League last season at the Olímpico. The Italian club is ready for a loan or even to undertake a permanent transfer, Corriere dello Sport report. However, PSG want to include the defender Antonio Rudiger in the agreement, and Roma won’t be happy about that.

Besides, PSG might be thinking on signing ‘Apache’ Tévez from Boca Juniors. With another striker in the squad, Jesé Rodríguez would have even less minutes, so he should have to find a new club.

Along with Zinedine Zidane, Casemiro also spoke in press conference before the game against América. Real Madrid will need to beat the Mexican team to arrive to the final, where Kashima Antlers already wait the winner.

According to the Brazilian midfielder, the game is very important: “Without any doubt, this is vital for us. When Real Madrid play a competition, we always have to win. The supporters are being really nice with us here and we’re really focused”.

One of the big news in the FIFA Clubs World Cup is the possibility to use the video for the referees. For instance, Viktor Kassai used it in the other semifinal but he made a mistake: “This doesn’t change anything. The players are thinking in playing and not in that. If anything happens inside the pitch, the referees will decide”.

Casemiro missed some important games during the injury in the fibula but now he’s back: “I feel well, I’m well. I played the last game and I felt better. I’m at 100%, available to the manager, like everybody else”. During his absence, Kovacic did a really good job, so he doesn’t feel as a fixed player for the coach: “I’m available to the manager. We played well during the injuries because we have a great squad, the best in the world. And this is important for the club. The ones who play will do it at 100%”.

The Brazilian footballer thinks 2016 has been a great year: “I think this competition is to end well the year. We are in a great run and we don’t need to change anything. We have to keep focused, playing our football and winning. With humility but playing to win”.

Finally, he was asked about Club América: “I think with the Real Madrid t-shirt you have to think on what you do. We have a technical commission analyzing the rival and we know a lot about them, but we don’t need to change anything. The coach asks four or five different things for any team we are playing against, but that’s it”, Casemiro finished.

Zinedine Zidane spoke in press conference the day before Real Madrid will make their debut in the FIFA Clubs World Cup against América in Yokohama (Japan). Los Blancos will try to bring home the third trophy of the year and close a great 2016, with the unbeaten record set in 35 games, at the moment.

The French manager will have all the squad available for the game except Gareth Bale, who is in Wales, and Sergio Ramos: “Sergio won’t play. He got some pain after the journey and, even though is not serious, he’s tired. We won’t risk anything. We’ll see if can play on Sunday”.

Most of the questions were for the Ballon D’Or award won by Cristiano Ronaldo. Zidane said really good word about the striker: “No other player at Real Madrid will achieve what Cristiano has done. And ‘chapeau’ for Cristiano Ronaldo and his four Ballon D’Or. The truth, it’s very complicated what he’s doing. And I think he can win another Golden Ball”.

The French manager also talked about the mentality of the Portuguese: “His motivation is enormous. He can play a friendly game and win it. And the training match, as well. It’s always like that. This award doesn’t change anything”.

Speaking about the competition, Zidane gives a lot of importance to the trophy: “We know the importance, it’s a competition that we want to play and win. We arrived tired after the trip, but we’re ready for the game”. The coach also spoke about the difficulties of the FIFA World Cup: “The most complicated thing is getting used to the jet lag, recover from a long journey… We needed three days to adapt ourselves, but we’re ready. This is a different competition, but it’s important. To arrive to the final we just need to win, so we’re focused in this game”.

Zizou also spoke about América: “We know the rival, we don’t need months to study them. In these three days we spoke about America and tomorrow we’ll continue with the details. We’re focused in doing a great game. I listened that people said you don’t win with the t-shirt and I agree with this. With the t-shirt you don’t win and we’re going to work a lot to win”.

Club América v Real Madrid Preview

Real Madrid are big favourites to win the last title of the year, the FIFA Clubs World Cup. Los Blancos have their first test on Thursday against the Mexican champions Club América, who suffered to beat Jeonbuk Motors in the quarter finals of the competition. Romero scored two goals in the second half to come back after the opening goal from the Asian team.

Los Blancos will face also the jet lag and the tiredness, one of the main issues of the competition. They travelled on Sunday morning after beating Deportivo La Coruña and even Zidane said the time was very tired after the long journey. Spanish giants had only three days to get used to Japan and they have already to play a very important game on Thursday.

The good news is that only Gareth Bale is ruled out for the game. Sergio Ramos won’t be available for the match with muscular problems. Pepe has also some problems, so the full backs should be Nacho and Varane, like in the Madrid derby.

Club América v Real Madrid Prediction

Real Madrid are big favourites to win the game and the tournament. The difference of quality is enormous and we can only think in an easy victory. However, Zidane’s side should face some problems like the jet lag and some of the players are really tired, as they showed in the game against Deportivo last Saturday.

For this reason, Real Madrid cannot think they are going to thrash the Mexican team easily. They should be really focused on the game. Los Blancos should trust Cristiano Ronaldo as the goalscorer, because he should be very happy after winning his fourth Ballon D’Or. Backing the Portuguese to open the scoresheet could be a good idea.

Real Madrid should be careful with the Mexican international striker Oribe Peralta, who has scored 6 goals in his last 12 games. The Argentinian Romero is also very dangerous and he’s the topscorer for his team in the Mexican league with 10 goals. We have to remember that Real Madrid won the last FIFA Clubs World Cup in 2014 beating Cruz Azul (0-4) in the semifinals and San Lorenzo (0-2) in the final.
