Kuwait National Team - Real Madrid

Kaifan Stadium

"This is the first time I visit this country, but we're not here as tourists; we're here to play and try to win the match. We know it's a friendly, but Real Madrid always have to elevate their prestige as much as possible. That's why we've travelled with the entire team. Everyone will play tomorrow to honour their names and the prestige of Real Madrid. They are a little tired because of the tough season we had, but everyone's in good form."
"We have respect for Kuwait's national team, but people should realise we just celebrated winning the league title, we had a seven hour flight and we've hardly trained for this. It's important no one sustains any injuries tomorrow because many of my men are already thinking about the Euro. We intend to play a good game and we'll try to win."
"We won the championship thanks to all the players on the squad, but Ronaldo is special because he scores goals in all sorts of ways and in every position. He and Messi are above the rest and, if there is any justice in football, Cristiano will win the Ballon d'Or this year."

"Real Madrid wanted to play in Kuwait and it would have been difficult to do so in the preseason due to short holidays and the weather. My men would have liked to be on holiday now, but they responded well to this venture for the prestige of Real Madrid. We're here to do a good job."*** Jose Mourinho ***

Higs will start this one, hope that keeps folks happy

I'm assuming this game doesn't count as part of the 2012-13 preseason? Really want to see the boys in our new kit.

Hehehe

wonder what the new kit will look like. woooop there goes my bank account..every..damn...year

Haha my sister went all out and stalked the players last night. Took pictures with a couple of them. Apparently tomorrow she's going to be chilling out on the balcony enjoying the view of the players swimming in the pool.

I like the bus

does anyone have a live stream link to the game? Thanks

Player's chilling at the Emir's palace.

Omgzzzz! Albiol is talking to Mourinho!

Is he talking about his future? Departure? About being more appreciated?

ohhhhhhhhhh! I can't take this anymore! So much anticipation!

Many of them look like they don't want to be there. It's kind of strange just to sit there in a room where everything's made out of gold, just to pleasure some rich guy who just happens to live on top of oil.

Is this going to be televised?

They don't want to be there because they're supposed to be on vacation. I really don't understand this fixture, but I aint complaining

rojadirecta.me has the game listed. Links aren't available until closer to match start.

Seems we are playing this as a farewell game for a couple of players, plus our usual front four.

Ronaldo Capitan.

Cristiano is CAPTAIN.

Lol, I wonder how many regulars past and present would have cringed at those words three years ago.

Our kits look cool without the sponsor.

We are relentless in attack.

Cristiano off the bar (freekick)

Epic!!!

Stream anyone???

What a pass from Ronnie.
