I got this from a mailing list. Anyone heard anything? MADRID, March 31 (Reuters) - Real Madrid will soon open football academies in Mexico and Beijing -- the first time they have gone out of Spain. Florentino Perez promised to open a series of Real Madrid schools around the world as part of his successful presidential campaign in 2000. The club announced their intention to open the first such academy in Mexico last year and they now appear ready to continue their expansion into Asia. "Florentino made the promise and now we're close to opening the schools in China and Mexico," Real's sporting director Jorge Valdano told As newspaper on Monday. "The kids will wear Real Madrid kit, will play in the style of Real Madrid and will receive instruction from Real Madrid staff."
Yo vi en una programa de television que el Madrid habia abierto, o esta a punto de abrir, una escuela de futbol en Japon.
Maybe now Mexico will be able to produce another Hugo....Cuahtehmoc Blanco bombed at Valladolid and Palencia did not get enough playing time to prove his worth. De Nigris might prove his worth on the pitch as Torrado has this season at Sevilla.
I hadn't heard that until it was posted here but, we as Mexican futbol fans could only hope for another Hugo Sanchez,the Father of Mexicano ball'.About Blanco,yeah he did bomb at Valladolid but his best days are still ahead of him,no worries about that here.
Blanco spent too much time in the sidelines, he was mostly injured, he had, however, sparks like that hell of a free kick he scored vs RM!
