http://www.soccerage.com/en/13/i0540.html Racing is coming off a win vs. Depor. Might be dangerous. It's at these times I'm glad they have people like Guti, Solari, and Morientes on the bench. But this will probably all change when the transfer window opens in December.
It's is important to have players like Guti, Solari, Macca, Portillo, Pavon, Miñambres, Raul Bravo, Cesar, etc. Because in a season of 10 months with 2 games a week the team will need all of them. And It's important for the motivation of the players because they know that they will have many minutes during the season although they aren't in the starting line up. And some of them may finish in the starting line-up at the end of the year . One of the best thing that Valdano and Del Bosque have made this year is have a first team with only 20-21 players not 30 like the last year. The last year, the team have too many players, some of them didn't play any minutes with the team and others don't travel many games with the team, that always generate problems of motivation and coexistence in a team. About december, I hope that we don't sell Solari or Macca. We will miss them. Other thing is if they want to leave the team because they thing that it's good for them. In this case i will wish them the best, because they have been very good profesionals in the Real Madrid.
