Appreciate the clarification, and what I meant is, is that spanish players tend to get more credit than foreign players (Bale for example gets targeted pretty easly)

Also I remember this xpgen guy complain about james, di maria, etc etc (I know this isn't a real madrid fan tho)

Real as in legit, try to think a bit more Orian.

I was one of the few who didn't like Özil and was happy to see him leave and get replaced with Isco... but it's not because he's spanish and the other is German, it's because I think he is way better (or at least reliable).

Di María had some problems when he sided with Mourinho when Bernabeu wanted Mourinho out, but so did many other players that also sided with the manager; it was a temporary thing. Just look at the last game Di María played for Madrid (the Supercopa vs Atlético), he got a huge ovation.

James is loved... and Modric is adored.

Just out of interest, why didn't you like Ozil?

Lazy and choked in big games.

This... although it was more the overall inconsistency of his performances and the choking in big games that bugged me way more than the laziness... he could have worked harder, but he wasn't a slothball either tbf.

I did like him at first though, but I ended up losing my faith and patience in him.
