It seems Real Madrid are playing much better as a visitant than in the Santiago Bernabéu. Los Blancos have been showing their immense attacking potential in the recent away matches. Real Madrid will play next week end against a very tough team in a very difficult stadium as Vicente Calderón. We will see if the players managed by Zinedine Zidane keep with the run far from Santiago Bernabéu.

The run began on the visit to the the stadium of Betis (Benito Villamarín) in the eighth match of the regular season. Real Madrid won against Betis 1-6 in a incredible game with two goals of Isco, Varane, Cristiano, Benzema and Marcelo. After this thrashing, Los Blancos visited Cultural Leonesa were they also achieved a great match in Copa de Rey first match. After this game, Real Madrid visited Mendizorroza to face Alavés in the tenth game of La Liga. Los Blancos won 1-4 highlighting Cristiano Ronaldo’s first hat trick in this season. The run continued in the 3-3 draw against Legia Warsaw in the last game of Real Madrid in Champions League.

Eleven players have scored a goal in the last four matches away from Santiago Bernabéu. This is a fact that reflects the great level of Real Madrid’s squad. Cristiano Ronaldo heads the list with four goals, thanks to his hat trick against Alavés and his goal against Betis. Morata is the next top scorer in the last four games away with three and Benzema, Isco and Asensio, each with two goals. The list is completed by Marcelo, Varane, Mariano, Nacho, Bale, Kovacic, and one own goal.

Los Blancos are in this moment on the top of La Liga’s table without losing in the eleven games Real Madrid have played so far in the regular season. Now they must visit a very difficult stadium against a team that are recognized as one of the best defensive team in the world.

Real Madrid are trying to finish all the renewals that have left. Los Blancos don’t want to reach 2017 with pending renewals of the players that finish contract. Carvajal, Isco and Pepe are the next players to decide their future with Los Blancos. Real Madrid have already renew Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Tony Kroos and Luka Modric.

The renewal that most worries Real Madrid is the one of Pepe (33 years old). The full back contract ends on June and when everything seemed that the club and the player were going to close a deal, the latest contracts have not finished as expected, so the the Portuguese defense continues without closing the pact with Los Blancos.

The full back contract is finishing, and his idea is to continue because he has been at Madrid since 2007. Real Madrid offered him a contract to renew year to year but that proposal did not convince Pepe, who wants a contract of two years without having to be aware if he will continue or no the first year.

Several teams have been interested in Real Madrid’s full back. Different Premier League’s clubs always have been aware of all Portuguese defender movements. Manchester City, with Pellegrini on the bench, have always been the most interested. Mourinho also wants to sign Pepe with the objective of improve Manchester United defense.There are several clubs interested and with the contract that expires on June Pepe’s value rises.

Pepe and Real Madrid have a very good relationship but now a days they have not reach any agreement. The Portuguese is a great full back and he has improved with the pass of the years. We saw this summer that he is physically 100%. He played a high level with his national team, winning the last Euro Cup of France and being a Portugal key player.

Real Madrid don’t win this competition since Ancelotti’s stage in the season 2013-2014 with the goals of Di Maria and were we could see Bale score a fantastic goal from a terrific run in the last 5 minutes against FC Barcelona.

There are several players of the squad that are not having many minutes and their patience is finishing. Players as Danilo, Coentrao, Morata and James are not having many minutes in this beginning of season and they have a lot of talent to show. The last one named is the one that his patience is finishing and he may leave Real Madrid in winter if Zidane don’t give him minutes in the games against Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona.

James Rodríguez can not find his place at Real Madrid. He was a great protagonist of the squad in the first season he played with Los Blancos but the last season was very difficult for the Colombian who was unable to convince neither Rafa Benítez nor Zinedine Zidane to be habitually in the starting 11.

The situation during the current course has not change and after the long speculations about a possible goodbye during last summer market, now the rumors have returned towards the month of January in winter’s transfer market. Depending in the minutes he will play in the next matches the Colombian player will value if he will stay at Madrid or find another team.

There are rumours that say that the Colombian midfielder is not training quite at good at Valdebebas and that’s the reason why he is not playing to many minutes. According to a journalist that said in the Spanish football program name “El Chiriguito“:” Now all the people say that he is not training good during the week as he trained in the past when he was habitually in the line up. He is training exactly the same way as when he came to Madrid and before the people did not say anything and now everyone criticizes him. He has a problem with Zidane’s formation, which don’t benefit him. If in the derby against Atlético and el Clásico against Barcelona doesn’t play 20 or 25 minutes he will take a drastic decision”, Pipi Estrada said in “El Chiringuito”. The Spanish journalist also said:” James has noticed that since he said to Zidane he wanted to stay at Real Madrid now the relationship is more distant and he thinks that Zidane wanted him to leave.

Now is the moment if Zidane decides to give him the same minutes like in the last games or if he will believe more in James. Los Blancos have many injuries in the midfield and James could be a good variable.

Real Madrid will face FC Barcelona on December 3 at Camp Nou in the regular season. Los Blancos supporters are looking at prices to cheer their team in Barcelona, but they have been surprised because the prices are still more expensive than last year.

Real Madrid fans are upset after knowing the prices that Barça had stablished for the Clásico next December 3 at Camp Nou (4:15 pm). The 600 localities for Los Blancos followers are priced at 123 euros. An enormous amount if it is valued that they will be lactated in the top amphitheater of Barça’s stadium, with a very poor visibility by the height and with the added obstacle of the security screen FC Barcelona had installed to separate them form the opposite supporters.

It’s normal the discomfort of Real Madrid supporters when we compare the prices of the tickets in the last Real Madrid v Barcelona where the prices were 80 euros, 43 less than the Los Blancos supporters will now pay for the match at Camp Nou. These prices are very expensive to any normal citizen that want to go to cheer to an Stadium.

The anger has increased, when Real Madrid supporters have also realize that they must also pay 90 euros to go to Vicente Calderón to watch the derby on the 19th of November. In the last derby at Bernabéu (February), there were only 130 Atlético Madrid supporters in the stands of Santiago Bernabéu because they complained about the high price of the ticket, 70 euros. Something strange when the tickets were lower than the one they stablished this year.

The prices of the tickets should be lower because later we can see in many ganes of La Liga that the stadiums are almost empties and this gives a very bad image of the Spanish League. In England and Germany we can every weekend the stadiums full of supporters and that’s to be transmitted.
