Rafael - Reds running scared

Dutchman thinks Liverpool are 'frightened' of Real Madrid

 

 

Real Madrid midfielder Rafael van der Vaart believes that Liverpool will be scared when the two sides meet each other in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League.

 

The Spanish giants face Liverpool in a clash between two of the most successful club sides in football history.

 

However, the Holland international thinks that Madrid will have a psychological advantage even before the first-leg kicks-off.

 

"We're Real Madrid, which is why I think Liverpool are frightened of us. We have great players. It's going to be a great tie," he told Spanish newspaper Marca.

 

"The team is working hard to be in perfect shape. We're anxious to do well in Europe, and if we end up as champions I will be capable of anything. I will do anything to win the Champions League."

Bench

 

The 26-year-old has recently been relegated to the Real Madrid substitutes' bench, but he does not think his form has deteriorated badly.

 

"Everything was going well at the beginning of the season. I had a great feeling. I don't think I was playing poorly, but I was benched for a few matches," he added.

 

"It's not easy to get used to being a reserve because I had been a starter throughout most of my career."

 

Van der Vaart moved from German side Hamburg to Madrid in the summer of 2008 and is hoping to stay at the Bernabeu for some time yet.

 

"I signed for five years, but I hope to be here many more years," he said.

 

"I want to be an important part of Real Madrid's history and win many titles. That's what I've always dreamed about."

I've never been more not frightened.

I fancy us to cruise through over two legs, we will just bore them to death and eventually score one.

I hate all this crap . We won't be scared of them , they won't be scared of us .

 

We are 2 massive superclubs full of excellent players who have played at the top level of football FFS.

 

The Dutch tend to be mouthy bastards though.

[havarantagain 2]

Whatever. Lets see how they cope with a real atmosphere.

And by all accounts pretty thick.

We're Liverpool.

And the last time we played you in this competition you had your arse handed to you on a great big permed, mustachioed, Geordie platter.

 

Now fuck off you tulip munching, clog wearing, windmill raping, shitehawk.

 

Apologies to the dutch nation for stereotyping you all.

Do the Dutch have an international tonight? If they do Dirk will have him by the neck and will be taking his pocket money off him as we speak.

He's deluded unless his quote has been mistranslated.

Of all the clubs I hate bar the obvious, Real Madrid are the biggest cunts.

People shouldn't take Real lightly. Ramos has been preparing especially for the game against us, hence the more defensive nature of their play and improved defensive record since he took charge.

 

It will not be an open tie.

If Real Madrid sees us as underdogs I think that's perfect for us. I'm not confident because you never know what will happen over two legs like these fixtures, but by all means not scared. It will be two massive games!

I agree. Schuster's Madrid would have been perfect for us, they threw numbers forward and were a joke at the back, especially against the counter attack. I was pretty gutted when they sacked him. Although I still fancy us strongly.

"Liverpool are frightened of us! " says a guy who spends more time on the bench than on the pitch.

 

Bring it on I say..... his bird is fit though!

I hope we beat them badly and then the whole team bums his bird.

[Unrighteous 952]

Real Madrid are going to get worked.

[Hooch 576]

I will smash his face in if I ever see him.

[The Special One 46]

Wonderful polishing job on the bench there Rafa... you missed a spot. Now sit down and shuddup.

[Guest simon]

He should be in standup IMO we are the mighty Liverpool we fear no one.

[ratcatcher 753]

For van der fart read paul brietner. He said the same thing. He was later seen crying in his boots at full time.

 

Bring 'em on!

[Stouffer 2,826]

What's he supposed to say?

 

It's a nothing story.
