The Real Madrid News Thread - Sauces Optional [R]

Gago will not be involved in pre-season training as he has permanent scabies. Sauce - his agent

Permanent?

His agent was "ranting" and said something to the effect that it was like he (Gago) had scabies because of the way he was treated his last season here and because of that perceived mistreatment he won't train.

He doesn't really have scabies

but what if he has scabies?

That would help explain how crap he has been.

So Luis Campos joined the dream team today, he will be Mourinho's chief scout. When I first read this I thought it was




But yeah, ok.

It's the first time I'm seeing this video. God, it's so hearth breaking to see Florentino in tears.


Real Madrid are lucky to have him as president.

Castilla defeated the first team, which was without most of the starting players, with 5-1. The teams aren't listed in the article, but these were the line-ups:

Castilla: Adán, Juanfran, Mateos, Iván ,Casado, Mosquera, Sahin, Lucas, Alex, Denis and Morata.
Real Madrid B: Jesús; Fabinbo, Varane, Nacho, Ríos; Granero, Lass, Callejón, Kaká; Di María and Higuaín.

Knee jerk reaction in 5.. 4...

Lass in midfield explains it all

Happy birthday to Mr Butragueno who is 49 years old today.

They should flip-flop the teams to improve the quality!

There we go!

Will the team be training at UCLA this summer?

^ I'm pretty sure they will be. Not quite sure where I read/ heard it, might have been in one of the videos at rm.com.

So Zidane to coach a youth team this season, I wonder who takes over as director?

The puppet rumored to replace him is Figo.

^ Brilliant. Zizou, one step closer!

Real Madrid is Figo's home. Lets bring him home.

Real Madrid will have the dream team all under one roof again in the next few years.

Doesn't Hierro also not have a good relationship with Perez, or was that only Del Bosque?

I'm still unsure what exactly Zidane's job description was to be able to say if Hierro or anybody else for that matter would be a good fit.

I've always thought that Zidane was given that "title" to lessen the media noise from letting Valdano go. In reality, he still maintained the hands off "ambassador" of the club role, which just meant traveling with the club and looking pretty.
