Getting close to some action finally

Benzema has done enough faking this season already. He is back!

This has been one of the driest weeks of my life. Not only that I’ve had to spend most of my day on clusters, OpenMPI and other shyte and the rest of the day in the gym, there has been hardly anything for me to blog about. Ergo, I allowed the news to accumulate and now I am here, not with loads of stuff, but with at least something to talk about.

And lets start with our home game against Sporting on Saturday (20:00 CET). Karim Benzema finally returned to training yesterday and there is a strong possibility that he might return to the squad for Saturday’s game as he trained without incident earlier today at the Valdebebas. Kaká replaced him in the gym and the player hasn’t been seen on the field this week and is most likely to miss out yet again. Likewise is Drenthe. Van der Vaart, Ronaldo, Alonso, Ramos all had a spell in the gym in the three days of training that we’ve had but all are set to be fit for the upcoming fixture. So that’s that and lets move on.

Gonzalo Higuaín will move in the summer, or so says Don Balon while the reason behind the selling being the fact that he was signed by Ramón Calderón – something that still itches Florentino Perez according to the tabloid. I will claim it to be a part of their news making strategy and coolly ignore them. I request you to do so too. Pipita is here to stay!

Don Balon also reports that Real Madrid might travel to Dubai this summer for money-sake. That must be some great news for Siddharth at Los-Merengues.com.

After a long time its finally good to see Rubén de la Red back in the news. The player was recently denied permanent disability status by the Social Security Commission’s medical tribunal on grounds that he may still be able to play football. And that means there is still hopes for a return. According to AS, the player is set to wear a holter (an ambulatory electrocardiography device) in the next few weeks to determine the strength of his heart. De la Red said:

It has been shown that I have possiblities. I am waiting for a call from the club to tell me the steps I need to take to continue. I hope to soon dispell the uncertainty about my condition.

Fabio Capello, one of the best in the business and two time La Liga Champion with Real, told GolTV why Pellegrini is doing a good job in a post previously occupied by him.

He has earned a lot of points and currently his team are ahead of Barcelona.

As though we didn’t know that.

Tomás Roncero spoke in AS about why Real Madrid would want Sergio Canales to spend another year on loan at Racing instead of donning white next season. In a well written article, he says that should Guti leave Real as rumored to try out a foreign league, then Canales playing in Real would make sense. But with Guti in hand, Canales would just be wasting his time here instead of gathering the actual experience of playing Liga football. But I am not sure what we should do if Guti stays and Racing get relegated.

Real want Sergio Agüero for next season. Oh, let me rephrase that, according to Marca Real are desperate to sign Sergio Agüero for next season.

Finally, our club’s doctor Carlos Díez has suggested to our players to get eight hours of sleep minimum every night. And this reminds me of my own bed time.

Night all.

Para Siempre Blanco!

Hala Madrid!!

P.S: I have taken a new initiative wrt Hala Madrid. I am super excited. I’ll let you guys know about it ASAP.



Arbeloa press conference

Alvaro Arbeloa said he hopes the team keeps its undefeated homes streak in La Liga alive against Sporting on Saturday. The defender said the match won’t be easy.

"It will be hard to win all of our home games, but we'll try"

Title hopes:

We have to concentrate on La Liga to win the title. Saturday’s match against Sporting will be complicated. They made it difficult for us in the first leg and we failed to defeat them. They are in good form and confident. We’ll have to work very hard to defeat them.

Sporting:

Sporting pressurized well against us at El Molinon. They have very unbalancing players. We’re going to have to play a good game to keep our home streak alive.

Home form:

We aren’t invincible at home, but we are very confident because we know it is hard for us to drop points at the Bernabeu, where the crowd fervently supports us. It will be hard to win all of our home games, but we’ll try. We have the best suited coach in the world for Real Madrid. He has the unconditional support of the fans.
