Very good piece-if you like Real Madrid, of course. My favorite bit: Pérez, however, is a man who has risen to where he has on his own merits. By extraordinary dedication and hard work. And he is not sleazy, in stark contrast to his predecessor at Real, Lorenzo Sanz, a man who could - and did - make a £1,000 suit look cheap.

Danny Blanchflower once said that the most important thing in football was not winning. 'The game,' the Tottenham and Northern Ireland star said, 'is about glory. It is about doing things with style.' And that precisely is the dominant ethos at Real Madrid right now. It always has been, ever since the great days of di Stefano, Puskas and Gento when they won five European Cups in succession. Now they are doing it again, putting principle into glorious practice
it seems this year we will see great moments of football
in the game against Betis they played awesomely... shame the defence and the strike don't match right now the midfield

Excellent article for Real Madrid pride. My favorite sentence:
"Everybody was happy, that is, except Barcelona and in particular Gaspart, a man who ascended to the presidency of his club in the summer of 2000, at exactly the same time as Pérez took over at Real Madrid, and since then has found himself cast, with ever more uncanny similitude, in the role of an envious, bitter, smarting Salieri to Pérez's soaring Mozart. "
That's rich. :D
