crinkly_earsSo, randomness because I'm bored and awake at the butt crack of dawn nursing the stray kitten I've taken in, and I came across this series of tweets from Sergio:
"Buenos días a tod@s. Me gustaría aclarar un par de cosas antes de que se hablen más mentiras y sigan inventando.
"Mesut es un gran amigo y le dije hace tiempo que mi primer gol de la temporada seria para él y aprovechando su cambio me puse su camiseta.."
"..confiando que podría ser mi primer gol. Nada más."
"Por otra parte, mi relacion con Mourinho es buena,honesta y clara. Respeto sus decisiones y es para mí el mejor entrenador. Hala madrid..!!"
Loosely (google) translated: "Good morning to everyone s. I would like to clarify a few things before you speak and keep inventing more lies. Mesut is a great friend and I said long ago that my first goal of the season would be for him and making her change her shirt .. I started trusting that could be my first goal. Nothing more. Moreover, my relationship with Mourinho is good, honest and clear. Respect their decisions and I am the best coach. Hala madrid ..!"
Yes, we know you love Mesut, aw, so sweet to dedicate a goal, but you lost me on the "making her change her shirt"
While I'll allow for google translate and bad grammar, I'm not sure why Mesut needs a new shirt?
I mean, yes, bb is fashion impaired, as so wonderfully proven by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

All you had to do was copy and paste the code into the right editor. In the html editor it would show as code. In the rich text editor it shows as a picture.
I'm trying to build spams for the past few games and having an awful time though - I mean, even doing it "the right way" doesn't work. When I've written the code it doesn't allow half the pics to show. I nearly screamed with frustration yesterday and gave up.

But here's Marca's version of what happened ;) courtesy of
It seems Sergio Ramos is not scared of his manager, José Mourinho. The Spain international continues to battle it out with the Portuguese and the latest test of the coach's patience came in the game on Sunday against Deportivo de La Coruña. Ramos played the second half wearing Mesut Özil's team shirt underneath his own with the intention of revealing it to the Bernabéu faithful if he scored a goal as a gesture of solidarity.
Mourinho had taken off German playmaker Özil at halftime after the coach had had some harsh words with the player from the sidelines in the first half. The Portuguese continued to tear into his player in the changing room and made the decision to replace him with Kaká. It seemed Ramos wanted to support his teammate by playing the whole of the second half wearing Özil’s team shirt underneath his own to dedicate him a goal.
The centre-back – who played as a stand-in full-back against Deportivo – eagerly sought to score from every dead-ball situation and every time Real penetrated the opposing penalty area. But he returned to the changing room empty-handed and was therefore unable to dedicate the German a goal.
Ramos, who was dropped for the game against Manchester City as a punishment, is not the type to bite his tongue when it comes to contesting his manager's jibes at recent press conferences.
After the player's return to action in the game against Rayo Vallecano, the defender told journalists: "I don't know if I was dropped as a punishment or for tactical reasons. That question is not for me to answer. I usually resolve these things behind closed doors".
It is actually true that Mourinho was screaming abuse (some of it obscene). Cuatro had their lip-readers out and he yelled at Mesut for most of the first half. Not sure why; I thought he played very well, actually.
So it isn't a stretch he was cursing and yelling in the locker-room either.
I'd have wasted my breath shouting at Marcelo for that appalling concession, but what do I know?
The boys have been very loyal on Twitter, of course (here's Mesut) -
So we'll have to see if Mourinho is as loyal as they've been, won't we?

Date: 2012-10-02 04:32 pm (UTC)Well discipline should be good sometimes, right? But he played well during that game soo I don't understand why was discipline/screaming at him necessary at that time?
Aarrrggghhh I dunno!
But a lovely gesture by Sergio! :)
He is always trying to help! Make things better.
And he knows that a great home made meal always makes people feel better :) (I know that's clay but.. :D still)
M1Ö got a great neighbour! :) (sorry for the Sergio spam :P)
Re: Mou is at it again?
Date: 2012-10-02 04:58 pm (UTC)I know he's at the centre of a lot of "scandal" at the moment, but Sergio is easily Madrid's most lovable personality. He's just lovely - lovely to everyone, welcoming to new players, kind to his teammates, kind in practice, kind to opposition teammates (always hugging and welcoming them - and, even after very ill-tempered matches, going over to the centre circle to say hello) and extremely loyal to the club. He's a club icon already for a reason.
He's so entirely lovable, kind - and although he's hot-tempered on the pitch he's a sweet, sweet boy off of it.

Date: 2012-10-02 03:06 pm (UTC)The Serzil bromance is real:D of course we've all seen photo's and stuff from Mesut and Sergio before but now it's undeniable!
And of course the piece written in Marca is dramatized but a part of me is imaging poor little Mesut getting a somewhat harsh lecture from Mou. Mesut gets angry but his words all get jumbled in his insecure Spanish, and Sergio overhears the conversation and Sergio stands up for him.
Anyway tomorrow is the Ajax game, which means Mesut and his wonderful team mates will visit my small and little country. *squeak*
I really hope Mesut gets some more playtime because it would be nice to see him in full color on Dutch television instead of some crappy livestream!

Date: 2012-10-02 04:27 pm (UTC)About the situation with Mesut being substituted or being a substitute himself: I don't even know what to think, I'm confused.xD From the one hand, Mourinho always used Mesut in the majority of the games and trusted him in the important games. But is it only because he didn't have any alternative? And now there is Modric and, unexpectedly (I think) Kaka came back into the right physical shape. So there are three persons who can be playmakers at the moment.
And, I may just imagine things, but Sami has looked worried in the photos from trainings recently.
no subject
Date: 2012-10-02 05:37 pm (UTC)But what they are saying, essentially: Ozil may need a new team. He may no longer the future direction of this one. Shit happens.
I refuse to panic. It looked this bad last year around this time when Mourinho was, to quote Ray Hudson "refusing to help him and playing terrible mind-games with [him]" and it turned out all right. There was less obscenity and less insult (shouting abuse, substituting him out at half-time) though there was the incident where he was blamed for the clasico loss, specifically and by name. Not the defensive players who let in 3 goals. Not the strikers who missed free headers or open shot on goal. No - just the one German.
The needs of the team always come first, of course. If Mesut no longer suits (and this is not hard to believe - the more delicate, fantasisti players do not do well under Mourinho (Sahin, Granero, Kaka, Canales et al.,)) then he'll simply move on and the team will continue to benefit from players who suit the coach's system better.
That will always be the team's highest priority. I mean - I love Mesut, and I want him at Madrid, but if he doesn't suit the team he doesn't suit the team. The club has to come first.
And that he was so important for two years doesn't mean anything, of course. Only the future direction of the team matters. And frankly, I have to agree with critics who say he is being used stupidly in the lineups. Sometimes it is no one's fault. Sticking "the best number 10 in the world" (I'm quoting Mourinho here) on the wing for 3/4 of the season last year was stupid.
Anyway - he has nothing to worry about either way. Either he plays or he leaves. His wages are nothing compared to what is shelled out in the Prem, or in Italy. He's so cheap even a team like Arsenal (with their wage cap) can afford him - and that means bigger teams can too. Madrid might refuse to sell him to a CL team, but that's the only problem I can foresee if he needs to move on.
Already he's being linked to a bunch of teams who are salivating for him - and with reason. Used properly, as he is in Germany, he's simply the best.

Date: 2012-10-02 06:23 pm (UTC)(Yeah, he probably wouldn't have a a problem finding a new club. Unfortunately, I don't think the German ones would be able to afford his likely transfer sum which would be, what, around 40 millions? He may need to learn a new language all over again...)
As for Madrid, Jesus, I really hope all the drama will calm down very, very soon. Like yesterday.
no subject
Date: 2012-10-02 06:27 pm (UTC)Say 30 million? It's not outrageous for Italy or England.
It's up to Mourinho to get the players back on his side. I agree with you. Too much drama. He is occasionally too heavy-handed with this team. He can't treat members of the most successful club, and the most successful national side of all time, the way he can treat players at Chelsea or Inter who are looking for success.
These were big players before he arrived. He's going to have to change the way he behaves, slightly.
Of course as a boarding school product and the daughter of a diplomat I don't like "authority". I believe in a collaborative approach in business and on teams and less obscene screaming on the sidelines. (this is why women are better in business, of course)
Mou has disappointed me this week.
no subject
Date: 2012-10-02 07:03 pm (UTC)That's something which, in my opinion, you just don't do as a coach. When you're the boss, you are always responsible, at least to a certain degree. And unless your team has done something outrageous behind your back, you are fucking obliged to back them up. -- Within reason, mind. But from what I could tell, the team hadn't done anything outrageous which would justify Mou losing all faith in them. And a public spanking may in very few cases spark a positive reaction from the team, but in order for that to happen, a team needs to have confidence in itself, in its inner strength, and that seems to be rather lacking at Madrid at the moment. Mou's public spanking was counterproductive, I think. It was a mistake, and he's made more since. It sometimes felt as if he were trying to find a scapegoat, and Mesut's one candidate.
Sorry. Rambling. In case you couldn't tell, I have strong feelings about team unity and keeping some things behind closed doors. Public criticism is very rarely a good solution, and Mou yelling at Mesut (even though Mesut had a good first half, dammit, I just don't understand it) goes against those feelings.
Eh, right. Stopping now.
no subject
Date: 2012-10-02 07:09 pm (UTC)This is not man-management. This is airing dirty laundry in public. And like you I don't agree with that. I consider it bad management. Call it a feminine viewpoint perhaps - but as I said elsewhere, women do better in business than men.
Also there's this constant criticism: Ozil doesn't defend enough. He doesn't score enough.
Really Mou? Which do you want? Do you want him scoring? Or do you want him defending? Because you can't have both. He's not a 6. He's not a box to box midfielder. He's supposed to make things run.
He's not some fucking utility player running up and down the pitch endlessly. Either he's in a position to get the ball and get it forward or score himself, or he's supposed to be helping in defence. Well in that case - change your formation. The man in the hole in the 4-3-2-1 was never meant to be used like that.
I'm beginning to think his reputation for tactical nous may be exaggerated as well. This is not a comment on Mourinho of course, the press give him these qualities. He has never claimed them for himself.
no subject
Date: 2012-10-02 07:47 pm (UTC)We'll know more after the next couple of games, I guess. Both regarding Mesut and regarding the future look of Madrid -- I'm not a fan of the 4-3-3 system as it tends to be too defensive for my liking (and a team like Madrid should not play with a defensive mindset), but we'll see. Maybe Mou proves us all wrong.
(On a sidenote: Capable female bosses are the best. Love them, adore them, cherish them. I've had two, and both have been splendid.)

Date: 2012-10-02 06:48 pm (UTC)But he is just such a touching, delicate lad that everything concerning him awakes almost (quoting you) motherly instinct in me.:)And it almost physically hurts when he faces some challenges.
I think Loew as a coach suits Mesut much better. If the rumours about Loew taking the reigns of Real in 2014 come true, I just wish Mesut would stay at this club till that time.
the more delicate, fantasisti players do not do well under Mourinho
I also noticed such a thing. Well, but Mesut is the toughest of all the fragile players in the world of football. He has done good under Mou notwithstanding the harsh times he's gone through (especially at the beginning of the last season). I'm not blaming Mourinho for something. He is just such a type of personality who prefers players like Sami Khedira, Essien (less emotional).
Anyway, time will show. We just need to get some popcorn (or maybe some sedatives) and keep an eye on our lad. And wasn't it Mourinho himself who said this May that Ozil has what it takes to become one of the club's all-time greats and that he will make history at RM?
no subject
Date: 2012-10-02 07:00 pm (UTC)Yes. But Jose talks shit all the time about his players. It's part of his job to build them up.
I don't put too much stock in it. Actions speak louder than words. If the rumours are true and he behaved badly in the locker room (I find the obscenities on the sidelines childish enough) then that's what's important.
Hopefully this will all blow over and it will all soon be forgotten.

Date: 2012-10-02 06:54 pm (UTC)I think I'm just having difficulty dealing with the (apparent) mistreatment. It bothered me after the clasico last year, like you mentioned, and things have bothered me this season as well. I don't agree with singling anyone out, and I feel like this has been the case. And it just seems to go against their "great relationship" that has been promoted in the media. Wasn't it a week ago he was calling Mou Papa?
no subject
Date: 2012-10-02 06:58 pm (UTC)Mourinho brought it up to explain Essien's use of the term last week.
I do hope Mourinho's much-vaunted man-management skills are really as good as everyone says. We'll have to see, won't we :)
And no - never worry about footballers. Worse case scenario: Mesut doesn't play and still gets paid millions.
There are many more people to waste your sympathy on - and of course another club with snatch him up in no time.

Date: 2012-10-02 08:23 pm (UTC)One last thought... Any chance Mou typically cusses out his players on the pitch like the video shows, but the media's just making it look worse to further this story, since there's already all this drama surrounding Mesut? Not justifying it of course, but I'd imagine it's not too unusual. What pains me most about it is the fact that I felt like he was trying SO hard. I swear, it looked to me like he was running EVERYWHERE, more than normal, and I was thinking, he's trying to do the right thing (i.e. what Mou wants him to do...). And it still wasn't enough. Very defeating.

Date: 2012-10-02 08:02 pm (UTC)But what you said it's true, Bernabeu's public is very exigent, they don't like 4-3-3 and they want to see a beautiful game. A journalist once said that Mou was perfect for a team like Inter,important but not "aristocratic". Their only interest was to win the Champions after 45 years and he made it, but playing a very boring and ugly football. Would Real fans be ok with that? Maybe, after all trophies are what matter.
For Mesut probably a new team would be the best thing.
No Serie A, please. I'd love to have him here, but Serie A is in decline and he deserves the best.
no subject
Date: 2012-10-02 08:33 pm (UTC)If Mou uses 4-3-3 formation and puts Mesut as a winger or benches him, then Mesut better find a better place for his talent.
If the coach changes formations in different matches and gets Ozil enough playing time and uses him in the right position, I'm ok with that=)
There is something going on inside the club. Ronaldo, who can be confident about his situation and is not afraid to be punished, highlighted that with his soy triste. imho. And this Essien's last minute transfer... did the players know he's coming? Just thinking...
"Ozil may need a new team"
Date: 2012-10-03 04:36 am (UTC)Started to suspect this but was still resisting the idea. Seeing all this in black & white makes it easier to put things in perspective.
I love Madrid, but that's no reason to not love another team with him in it! I'll be rooting for him all the way, wherever he goes.
Re: "Ozil may need a new team"
Date: 2012-10-03 04:41 am (UTC)What I really want to say: he's a highly paid footballer and we worry too much. It's sad not to play, and to be insulted by being subbed off after half a game after playing quite well, but it's not he end of the world either.
I think everyone on this blog who worries about him likely has bigger problems than he does :)

Date: 2012-10-04 11:03 am (UTC)every few chances he played like I'm going to murder Mou.
This season, gawd, hard season for Mesut. A tough test.
I've got feeling Mesut would highly insist what he's capable in RM. He would struggle so bad...since I follow every games he played, it's so hurtful not seeing him taking part in the first minute. Leaving RM won't be a good idea, leaving only for those who surrender.
Quoting from Mesut once said on interview, he would not hesitate to compete with the new entrants.
I would love to see Mesut prove what he's capable of, struggling for his position...every efforts is worth...until the time he's finally achieve what he's deserve.
SERZIL IS REAL, PEOPLE.

Date: 2012-10-02 07:34 pm (UTC)Wow for another reason, too. I got a sad feeling when Mesut got substituted, (not just because of not seeing him play anymore, but) thinking there was more to it, and during the other half, watching Modric's play and Sami's great play, my head came up with this fic scene of Mesut being really sad in the locker room after the game and Sami trying to ask if it was something Mourinho had said, and Sergio trying to make him feel better as well :) and Sami comforting him in a very teammatey way when others had left. I even, for once, immediately wrote it down but I thought my head was just wildly breeding plot bunnies as it does, and after all everything was fine and it was just as they said, that Mesut was plainly substituted for tactical reasons (yeah right, but like "we want to see if Modric is as good" and "no need for Mesut to play because he already got the yellow card"). And now I read this, it makes me... want to complete that fic RIGHT NOW. Plus, makes me angry at Mou. From my very subjective pow it seems just that Modric got the yellow card as well.
I hope everyone else stands on Mesut's side as well... no, I hope there will be no need to take sides at all. Please be mature, guys! It's not a sandbox; it's a field of grass :) ...or something. Well, Mesut will be okay anyway, no matter what happens.
P.S. Hehe, I first thought Sergio was referring to fic plot bunnies gotten a bit too loose when he said he would like to clarify a few things. ;D Funny, actually, how they even bother to answer to some rumours in papers. But you know what they say, there's a bit of truth in every joke, and there's a bit of me that refuses to believe that "I happened to wear his shirt because I thought I'd make the goal I promised him long time ago" is quite the whole of the truth. <3

no subject
Date: 2012-10-02 09:49 pm (UTC)I kinda don't like the fact that Sergio got Mesut involved in his effed up relationship with Mou. Mesut doesn't really come off as a confrontational player (might actually be the reason why Sergio did what he did)unlike Sergio. Problem is Mesut is not one of the "untouchable" players (IMO Sergio is) and i really don't think it's good for him to get on Mou's wrong side. I know that Mesut is never personally mentioned in the article, nor is there any story of a break in his relationship with Mou BUT the fact that his name was mentioned in the story at all must not be a good thing. Mou isn't someone who forgives and forgets without at least getting back at a player; and though indirectly involved in Mou's recent shenanigans with Ramos i won't be surprised if Mou singles Mesut out for that too.
OK so i watched the Cuatro video recapping the match, and yeah i get that he was too harsh on Mesut, i too thought he was actually playing well that night (the Modric/ Mesut pairing wasn't all bad, but it seems like if you pair up Mesut with a player of good quality (Reus, Goetze, Kaka and now Modric) he flourishes. I read somewhere that there was some sort of obscenity used but apart from his constant use of "joder", there was nothing obscene directed at Mesut (there was his use of "parado", a word that is not part of my spanish vocabulary so don't really know if it could be interpreted as something bad). Hence it really didn't mean anything more than it was ..... a coach vocalizing his deep/utter displeasure at a players' performance.
IMO there could be two sides to Mou's attitude towards Mesut:
It's either he's trying to break him down, affect his performances, get the media/fans/club directives to doubt him WHILST building up Modric. Why? Because Modric was his choice signing (and i read he cost almost double what Mesut cost when he first signed on) and for that he has to succeed.
The other scenario is that he understands how important Mesut is for Madrids' style of play and like anyone else he is frustrated and pissed off that Mesut has not been up to par at all this season (even my Barcelona loving mom pointed out that Real Madrid haven't been able to get back to last year's rhythm of things and she thinks that Mesut's drop in form is a primary reason why). Mesut had the same dip in form in the beginning of last season but at least he did have a couple of shining moments; this season it's been awful in every minute he's played for Real. I disagree with you on one thing; i don't think Mou is trying to revert back to his beloved 4-3-3 formation because he knows how much the fans hate it (this is not the premier or italian league after all; having a team playing the way Barcelona play you need to come up with your own satisfying style of play to appease the fans; grinding out results doesn't just cut it for the Madrid fans .... Real Madrid has to compete with Barcelona on every level) and he has said it plenty of times this season, he wants his team to play the way they did last year ....... and Mesut is a vital component of that system (whether Mou likes or not) and it's still too early for Modric (plus i really don't think that counter attacks and fast plays is something Modric excels at). Is Mou taking the correct approach, i honestly don't think so, it might work for a different player but Mesut needs a more personal/emotional type of approach (Mou would do well to get tips from our beloved Jogi). I stil hold out hope, that we will get our old Mesut back, it may take time but i know he'll come back from this stronger; he did last season and i hope it happens this season too (hopefully soon).
I need to finish this off by saying that in my honest and attempted unbiased opinion ...... I kinda feel Modric is overrated up until now i have not seen anything from him that has shown me is at the same/ or even better level than Mesut. I was shocked that he got the standing ovation he got after the Depor match because i felt like he was absent for most of the action.

Also, nowhere in the video was Mou cursing AT Mesut; all of his "joder"'s and "caralho"'s where just at the situation, as well as the other explative. Most of it was tame, and I use that kind of language all the time (however I'm not a manager who is in the public eye 24/7, so it's different).

Date: 2012-10-03 04:47 am (UTC)Your comment leaves me wondering if a lot of this situation is muddied by language barriers and terrible Spanish "publications." Way too much speculation and unknowns for me to make a judgment call yet. But it is great to see the Serzil bromance continue to blossom.

Though i can at least see that Mou not satisfied with Mesut, but then again nor did I. He is not bad but not to his standard. We expect more from our magician.
