CL: Olympiakos Vs. Real Madrid (Preview)

  Real Madrid will be playing their 4th match in the Champions League Group C, nicely standing top of the table with 7 points, while Olympiakos is playing at home and is 2nd place with 4 points.

As we can recollect, Robinho played a very important role in the last match which ended 4-2 for Real Madrid, the match was sensational really made us all be on edge. Real Madrid players showed their real spirit in that match and showed how much they want to win this season.

One weird observation is that Real Madrid lost a match before meeting Olympiakos, in the first match they lost 2-1 to Espanyol and now they just got a 2-0 loss against Sevilla. But i still expect Real Madrid to focus in this match and just put whatever past wins and losses aside.

Wingers Arjen Robben and Gonzalo Higuaín and the backup goal keeper Jerzy Dudek are still injured but the central defender Pepe and midfielder Wesley Sneijder are back and going to be traveling with their team mates but not sure if any of them would be able to play full 90 minutes.

Olympiakos will be missing injured defender Paraskevas Antzas and Vassilis Torossidis who was sent off in the previous match. Michal Zewlakow is back from injury and might feature in the match, although i seriously doubt he could play a full match.

My eyes will be locked on 3 main players today, ofcourse Robinho especially after his great show against Olympiakos although he wasn’t able to do much against Sevilla in the Spanish league but still its going to be different here. Another Real Madrid player to watch would be Wesley Sneijder that is if he played any part in the game. From Olympiakos the amazing midfielder Predrag Djordjevic who is 35 years old and plays as if he is 25 amazing speed and dribbling.

Real Madrid expected formation (4-1-3-2): Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Metzelder, Cannavaro, Marcelo, Heinze,  Diarra,  Sneijder, Guti, Robinho – Raúl, van Nistelrooy 

Olympiakos expected formation (4-5-1): Nikopolidis, Patsatzoglou, Julio Cesar, Zewlakow, Bravo, Archubi, Ledesma, Djordjevic, Stoltidis, Galleti, LuaLua

I expect a win for Real Madrid, maybe 2-1, in the worst situations i would expect a draw 1-1 or 2-2. But i believe we will win tonight.

CL: Real Madrid 4 -2 Olympiakos

As expected, 4-2 with robinho being the keyword here. I wont say that it was a perfect show, the red card given to Vassilas Torosidis on the 13th minute did help.

The main thing that made me go mad, no REAL MAAAD is the penalty ruud lost, its like my heart was eaten by my stomach, unbelievable. Of-course the one thing that nearly 100% of real madrid fans agreed on was that salgado is not on the same level with the game being played, and it will take something soooooooo special to get him back to his old him or at least get a bit more awake and aware of things happening around him.

As i said before Schuster has to use Robinho on the left wing and leave the arguing and fighting and warnings for later. Robinho just proved his worth in this match but i still bet Schuster will forget all about this when Robben comes back after 6 weeks.

A whisper to Schuster’s ear “Robinho saved your ASS”.

Here are the goals…

CL: Real Madrid Vs. Olympiakos (Quick Preview)

Real Madrid will be playing their 3rd match in Champions League Group C, 2nd in the table with 4 points playing against Olympiakos who is 1st with 4 points. Real Madrid is suffering from a number of injuries specially the left wing with heinze and robben out between 3 to 6 weeks. Schuster has a tricky game here, Olympiakos is in good shape with no serious injuries and the winner here will be top of the table. I believe schuster needs Robinho’s services tonight in the left wing and they should just put the alleged partying issue and returning late mistake to be dealt with later and focus on this game. Personally I will be watching Olympiakos striker Lua-Lua, he already scored 3 goals in 5 matches in the local league. I believe he will have his Champions League first goal this season tonight.

The expected formation (4-1-3-2): Casillas, Salgado, Sergio Ramos, Metzelder, Marcelo, Diarra, Robinho, Guti, Sneijder, Raul, Van Nistelrooy.

I expect a 3-1, 3-2 for Real Madrid by Full Time.

CL: Arsenal 7 – 0 Slavia Prague (Hell Ya…)

A lesson to be taught to each player in every football academy in the world, this is as fine as it gets, amazing, TRUE team power. I was so afraid yesterday and expected a 1-0 scoreline, but oh Arsenal proved me and everybody wrong. Unbelievable beautiful fantastic game.

Fabregas, Hleb, Theo Walcott, Bendtner….. Great Goals…..

What we should think about now is the next 2 big games, Liverpool and Manchester Unite, although after todays game we should be less worried but still a huge difference between those teams…

Anyway here are the goals ….

CL: Arsenal Vs. Slavia Prague (Quick Preview)

 Arsenal will be playing tonight their 3rd match in Champions League Group H, they have already won their first 2 matches so they have a solid 6 points, they will be facing SK Slavia Prague who are in 3rd place with 3 points.

I don’t believe that this game will be as easy as we expect, especially after seeing how Arsenal played against Bolton this week, yes we won but after we struggled though-out most of the match. Anyway I guess Slavia Prague will be so happy if they escaped with a 0-0 scoreline.

The Player i will be watching is Eduardo, let him show us he is worth playing for arsenal, in my book he still didn’t do it, I guess any Arsenal fan is not really that much happy with his game. But here is a chance to show his ability.

I expect a scoreline of 1-0, yes I don’t expect that we will thrash Slavia Prague they are not really that easy team, they are the top in their league table.

CL: CSKA Moscow Vs. Inter Milan (Quick Preview)

I moved to www.ibrahimo.com, to read this post in the new blog please CLICK HERE.

Inter Milan will be playing their third match today in the Champions League Group G, they are in 2nd place with 3 points, they will be facing CSKA Moscow who are so hungry for a win now so they might have a chance in qualifying because they are in 4th place with just 1 point.

One of many advantages CSKA Moscow has is that they are playing home and there is a number of Inter Milan players who are disqualified such as Burdisso, Chivu, Maicon and Suazo. And Matterazi is still injured, plus some rumors which says that Ibrahimovic wont be playing becuase of a flu, although this is still not verified. So CSKA Moscow have all reasons to grab the 3 points.

Expected formation: (4-3-1-2): Julio Cesar, Zanetti, Cordoba, Samuel, Maxwell, Stankovic, Cambiasso, Vieira, Figo, Ibrahimovic, Crespo.

I expect a score of 1-0 for Inter or if they play in full power maybe 3-1.
