Alvaro Negredo and Jesus Navas: Future Madridistas?
¡Buenos dias!
After a good round of International friendlies which saw all the Madridistas return victorious and without any injuries whatsoever the focus returns to the Primera Division and the big game against Sevilla at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.
Kaka played in the 0-2 victory against Ireland for Brazil on Tuesday and returned to training yesterday. Former Madridista Robinho got the goals for the Brazilians. The Spaniards were victorious in France for the first time since 1968 and won by two goals to nil thanks to goals from David Villa and Sergio Ramos. Casillas, Albiol, Arbeloa, Xabi Alonso too were a part of the side. Lass had to end up on the losing side. Gonzalo Higuain got only his second goal in Argentina colors which turned out to be the winner in the eventual 1-0 win over Germany. Cristiano Ronaldo and Van der Vaart too were successful. Ronaldo made an assist to the first of two goals for his side against the People’s Republic of China. Hugo Almeida and Liedson sealed a 2-0 victory for the hosts. Van der Vaart was a second half substitute for the Dutch National side which defeated the United States of America 2-1 at the Amsterdam Arena. Kuyt and Huntelaar got the goals for the Oranje whereas Bocanegra got the consolation goal for USA.
We play Sevilla on Saturday in the 22:00 CET kick-off game at the Santiago Bernabeu. And considering the magnitude of the game and whatever is at stake there has been a lot of talking going on more about Real’s interest in the in-form Jesus Navas right in the middle of it that about the game itself. But we’ll get to Navas later in this post. Right now lets just concentrate on the game.

Spain confirmed their position among the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ favourites with a dominant 2-0 victory over France in their friendly match at the Stade de France on Wednesday.
The European champions prevailed through first-half goals from David Villa and Sergio Ramos, inflicting upon their hosts a first defeat in 13 home games. Worse for France was their powerlessness in the face of Spain’s masterful control of possession and the home fans made their feelings known at regular intervals by imploring under-fire coach Raymond Domenech to resign.
The enigmatic 58-year-old has seen his popularity plummet since leading France to the 2006 FIFA World Cup final and the defeat will increase calls for him to step down before this summer’s finals in South Africa.
Thierry Henry, representing his country for the first time since his infamous handball in the play-off victory over Ireland in November, was whistled when he left the field in the second half, while the French fans took to airing their frustrations by cheering every completed Spanish pass.
Florent Malouda headed against the post from fellow substitute Djibril Cisse’s right-wing cross in the 80th minute and it was to prove the closest the hosts came to a breakthrough. Sevilla winger Jesus Navas almost made it 3-0 in injury time but his shot across goal from the inside-right channel flashed narrowly wide.
France had made an industrious start, with Franck Ribery a persistently menacing presence on the right of midfield. The hosts, though, were playing with an untested centre-back pairing of debutant Michael Ciani and Julien Escude, and cracks quickly appeared.
