Iván ‘1+8′ Zamorano returns
Chilean player Ivan ‘1+8‘ Zamorano, who won the 1995 league with Real Madrid, visited Valdebebas to attend a friendly between one of the club’s youth teams and Chile’s Legua Emergencia.
Return to Madrid
It’s so nice to return to Madrid after such a long time. I spent some time walking around the city and visiting the new Sports City. It’s like I never left. I can still see myself running around here.
People’s reactions
I still feel loved by people on the streets. Although I am older, they remember who I am. I am comforted by the fact that I made an important contribution here.
Manuel Pellegrini
As a Chilean, I am proud that Pellegrini is coaching Real Madrid. He earned it. I know he will have some tough moments, but he will carry Real Madrid far. Injuries have really plagued him and he hasn’t been able to put together an eleven-man roster that plays on a consistent basis.
Real Madrid’s attack
Benzema, Higuain, Ronaldo… They are great players. Many people want Raul to retire and he always ends up being the best on the team. This is a good squad. Fans must be patient. Hopefully they play more consistently to reach the end of the year in good form. I don’t only think they will win. They will do so by playing well.
Message for Madridismo
I want to send a huge hug to all Madridistas. I am always thrilled to come here and to see the colors of this team. Fans need to continue loving this club as they always have done, and hopefully by season’s end they will have a lot to celebrate.
Just another Madridista
