Some observations:
* Cristiano Ronaldo's getting more and more comfortable. It's going to be scary!
* Raul's AWESOME! He just never seases to work and amaze me.
* Kaka's brilliant. He didn't have the best of games, as it was his first in Real, but he organised the offensive game so well, and rarely made a mistake.
* IKER!!! ALBIOL!!! ARBELOA!!! All these three played their first game for Real (for Iker it was the first game n this preseason), and all played well, though they didn't shine, as they weren't called for any heroic actions/whatever.
* Lass. Lass. Lass. The guy's the closest thing I've ever seen to Makalele, without actually being Makalele. BRILLIANT.
* Guti doesn't suck. He had some good actions, but not enough to warrant a starting role when the actual season starts.
* Benzema's really good. He's not just a target striker, he can start attacks too, and do it well. He can also play near the sidelines, which is an advantage.
* Granero. MY GOD, Granero... The guy can play EVERY single offensive position, and play it well. I'm so glad Real bought him back.
* Sneijder continues to work hard every second he's on the pitch.
* Robben, when healthy, is one of the best players in the world, especially when he's not locked into selfish mode.
* Xabi Alonso. Perfect. Didn't do a whole lot offensively, but whenever he got the ball, he did EXACTLY what he should have, and he played good defense.
* Miguel Torres was the captain, after Raul, Iker and Guti came off the pitch. SERIOUSLY???
* Negredo's good. Very good. Good enough to stay? Probably not...
Next game's sunday night (Israel time), in Washingtn DC, against DC United. Seeya then!
PS - According to the Spanish newspaper As, Perez has closed the terms of Ribery's contract (5 years, beginning next season) with the player and his agent, and predictions are that Bayern Munich will agree to sell the player next summer for 25 M Euros. WOW...
