This could possibly be the lineup for the Real Madrid this year, But I believe Mourinho will go out and buy a big name Left-Back.

When they play 4-4-2 diamond I would expect it to be tight, not nearly this wide, and if Ronaldo is on the field in that formation it would probably be as one of the strikers.

Another option would be to play only one of Benzema or Higuain up top, push the wingers forward, and bring on a Diarra next to Xabi.

I have a feeling that Kaka is not off to a good start with Mourinho. I won't be surprised to see him dropped and Lass playing next to Alonso instead.

only one central/defense midfielder? cant imagine that.

Carvalho's transfer to Madrid must be the most blatant nepotism of recent times in football. £8M for a 32 old Carvalho? Must be a joke.

how much did Mourinho pay for Lucio? he was 31 back then.

Around 5M EUR, I believe. Lucio is a far better defender too.

pff
im not suura
i mean he could play diarra there so he could always park the bus i mean he is mourinho

yeah, but now at Real he HAS to play attacking football.

1 Defensive Midfielder? No chance. Mourinho will adopt the same tactics that he had while at Inter Milan. Kaka's not in Mourinho's good books, the signing of Mesut Oezil may see Kaka replaced in this line-up with Oezil.

and what about Khedeira ? and as always Mou never players without a ball winning dm never ever ever without one.
