HAPPY BIRTHDAY MÍSTER! I hope you'll stay with us many many years, help to win numerous titles and write history with Madrid!

Sergio Ramos: "The team is concentrated on winning the Copa del Rey" Q: The Copa del Rey final is very near. You cannot afford to make mistakes in the semifinals. A: That

(via unamadridista) The federation of Sevilla fan groups has asked the people who will attend the game at the Sánchez Pizjuán to treat their former player Sergio Ramos courteously. They sent out a communique in which they said,

wanted to find information about his family and that's found on one site

Stella, where did you get those pics from Iker's grandparents? Thanks btw.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ESPARTANO! I wish you many successful years in Madrid, lots of love, happiness and health!

Almeria are a good team with solid players like Piatti" Sergio Ramos talked shop with Bwin.com and analysed the forthcoming match against Almeria. "It is beautiful to be one of the team's captains and I'm enjoying it. I assume the responsibility of knowing what I represent for the team. I am proud to be a captain." "Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in la Liga. He is a great professional and we are lucky to have him on the team. I regard him as one of the world's best players." "Kaka had a rough time during his injury, but he's seen the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm sure he will bring much to the team." "We cannot afford to drop points against Almeria. We've improved our defence in recent years and we will have to use those skills to keep a clean sheet against Almeria, whom we know well." "Piatti is a fast and quality player, and we cannot afford to give him enough time to think or enough room to move in. He is the sort of player you always have to watch out for in order to guess his next move. He could create problems for us if he manages to control the ball." (via realmadrid.com)

Santa Cruz goes 'home' to Blackburn! :hell yea!: (CNN) - Paraguay striker Roque Santa Cruz hopes to revive his stalled career after securing a return to his old stomping ground at English Premier League club Blackburn Rovers. The 29-year-old has left high-flying Manchester City on loan for the rest of this season, having failed to make an impact following his $28 million move from Blackburn in mid-2009. "I feel like I am coming home. This has been the easiest decision of my career," he told the Blackburn website on Friday. "I want to get playing and scoring goals again, and this is a real chance for me to prove myself after a frustrating period. Everyone knows what Blackburn Rovers means to me." Santa Cruz scored 29 goals in two seasons at Ewood Park after joining on a free transfer from German club Bayern Munich, and he followed former Rovers manager Mark Hughes to City. Who will be the bargain signings of the January sales? But he initially struggled with injury and failed to impress Hughes' successor Roberto Mancini as Carlos Tevez, Emmanuel Adebayor, Mario Balotelli and recent signing Edin Dzeko have taken precedence. Mancini has this week also allowed former England defender Wayne Bridge to join the Premier League's bottom club West Ham on loan for the rest of this season.

Highlights from the interview with Cuatro (via unamadridista) - the last song I’ll listen to before the derby is Lil Wayne’s “Six Foot, Seven Foot” (I love the accent!). - a derby is a derby, no matter what positions the teams are in. It’s going to be a difficult game, and Madrid likes to play games like that. - I celebrated my goal against Atleti by imitating the dance of a crab in Brazil. - I’ve been to Cibeles two times with Madrid; it was a wonderful, great thing. We’ll give everything we’ve got in order to return. - I speak the most with Pepe; I don’t know if it’s because of the language. I’m always with Pepe and with Cris, and sometimes with Kaká. Cristiano is the best in the world both on and off the field. He’s a “top” guy. - Casillas is a captain, not a sheriff. He’s also a “top” person (“top” is Marcelo’s favorite word). - there are people who want to destroy the good relationship we all have. We’re very united, all of us – Spaniards, Portuguese, Germans, everyone… - Mourinho doesn’t need to change anything about him. But others should change the way they perceive him. We see him as a father, who defends us to the death, who always sticks up for us.

Sexio scored!!! :hell yea!:

(via unamadridista) In his press conference, Mou said the following: on the water bottle throwing incident in the Villarreal game: I’m happy that they took away the red card from Cani. I have no problems with him not being sanctioned. But if one of my players had done that, I’m sure he would be sanctioned for three months and if it were me, I would not be allowed to coach anymore. But anyway nothing happened, the bottle was almost empty, it wasn’t an aggression, it was just a gesture of someone else who thought that what I was doing had a negative connotation. on Gonzalo Higuaín: I tried to speak with him but I wasn’t able to. It’s normal that he doesn’t pick up the phone because he needs to rest. But I spoke with the doctor, and everything is normal. It was as I had expected; I said he would be out for a while. I don’t expect him back this season. I’m not disappointed, what happened is normal. on his desire for another forward: it’s not a battle between the club and me. I spoke with them two months ago to tell them how I saw the situation. I was honest, because my experience told me that Pipa would not play anymore this season, even though I don’t know much about medicine. The club knows my position, but the club is the decision maker, I work here and the decision of the club is the decision of the club. I can’t tell you any details about the things I spoke with the president or the directors about. on tomorrow’s line-up: today, I’m not going to reveal the starters. I might make a change. Kaká is progressing, he’s played three games and he’s improving. on his own behavior: I always try to be honest, only that. on why the players are starting the concentración at 22h today instead of the usual 20h: Casillas is a bit annoying and he asks me and asks me for that every day (laughs), to give them two extra hours so that they can have dinner at home or outside. In any case, giving them a couple more hours when the game tomorrow is at 22h is something that’s normal.

Higuain undergoes successful surgery Gonzalo Higuain underwent surgery on Tuesday at Chicago's Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The operation was carried out by Dr. Richard G. Fessler, M.D. (Chief of the Department of Neurosurgery), and consisted on an endoscopic disectomy on the L-4 L-5 disc herniation. He was assisted by Dr. Carlos Diez, Head of the Sanitas-Real Madrid Medical Services, and Argentine national team M.D. Dr. Daniel Armando Martinez. The player will spend the night in hospital, where his clinical progress will be monitored. He will be discharged on Wednesday. (via realmadrid.com)

Thank you lunka4don!

via unamadridista Today is the day of Gonzalo Higuaín’s operation at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Yesterday, he met with Dr. Richard Fessler for the first time, and passed all pre-operation tests satisfactorily, which took about three to four hours. All information regarding the operation, including the obligatory medical report that Dr. Fessler will write up once the intervention is realized, will be filtered through Real Madrid’s medical team. The report is expected to include how the process went, as well as recovery time. Pipita also received a call from his ex-coach Diego Maradona yesterday, who wished him luck and gave him his support. In addition, he caught a basketball game, between the Bulls and the Pistons. Pipita’s surgery has been moved up and he’s scheduled to be operated on at 08h local time (15h in Spain).

Thank you just_me!
