Cicinho press conference "All we're thinking about is defeating Zaragoza" With just two matches remaining to decide the League champion, the only thing Real Madrid players are thinking about is their next final against Zaragoza in La Romareda on 9 June at 9 pm CET. Despite having a pretty calm week of training with nine players on international duty, those still in the Spanish capital are doing what it takes to be in top form for the next encounter. During today's press conference, Cicinho expressed his satisfaction with his form after recovering from a torn ACL. The defender is also looking forward to 17 June, when he hopes to be celebrating the League title. Despite the stoppage, there is still a lot of talk about the League coming out of Brazil's and England's camps, for example. That just shows that we're all thinking about the Zaragoza match. Even if Robinho is on duty with the Brazilian national team, he's still got his mind focused on the League. We're all thinking about winning this next key match, which would leave us one victory away from the title. Yesterday Guti said, “It's a disgrace that Raúl wasn't called up by Spain." What do you think about it? Raúl is a great player and the Spanish national team is more or less like Brazil's. They both have good players and a coach that tries to call up the best. If he wasn't called up it's because the coach has his own opinions. We as players just have to work harder to return to the national team. I could have returned after six months, which I am very happy about, so I am sure Raúl will return as well. Do you think Zaragoza players have been offered bonuses if they defeat you? Are you for or against these bonuses? It's a tough call. In Brazil I played for a team that payed us more money for beating certain teams. It's just something that happens in football. I don't see it as a bad thing. It's just an incentive for a team to win. But we're not worried about it. I don't think Zaragoza are interested in the money, just beating Real Madrid. They see Madrid as a team they want to play and an important victory. We're keeping our cool. I'm not sure if Barcelona does it, but I'd rather not get involved. We're going to leave [Zaragoza] with a victory. What do you think about the fact that every other League in Europe has ended while Spain's hasn't? I like our calendar because it gives players time to rest. In 2004 I played 84 matches with Sao Paulo. It's a normal occurrence here in Spain, but in Brazil there is no time off. Are these international matches detrimental to the League? We would rather not have these two weeks off because we are in sync. There also exists a possibility that one of our players might get hurt, forcing him to miss one or both of the remaining matches. But we have to get over it and just see it as a part of football. Will you watch tonight's Brazil–England match? It's a great match and I hope Brazil wins. My main worry is Beckham because he's in incredible form right now. Do you understand all the criticism coming out of Barcelona regarding the referees? Not at all. They have also won matches thanks to a little help. It's an every day thing in football. They have the right to complain just like we do. It's only normal when a team goes through a patch like they are. What do you think about Ronaldinho's one game suspension? He's a great player who is going through a difficult phase, but any team would love to have him. I think he'll return to his old form, meaning becoming the best player in the world again. Have you told Roberto Carlos he shoud stay again? Yes. I just told him I was coming up here to talk to the press and to tell him he should stay. He may change his mind if we win the League. Yesterday Guti also said that he would leave next year if he continued riding the bench. Your thoughts? I think it would hurt Madrid. We would like him to stay. Guti is pretty calm right now and I would rather not discuss it any more because I don't know what's going through his head. He's a very important piece of this team and we'll need him in the future. What would you give for Kaká to play for Real Madrid next year? I think Madrid has the money to buy him. Once all the competitions are over and Kaká is on vacation he'll be able to talk to Real Madrid. I was just talking to Roberto about it and he also thinks it's in Real Madrid's best interest to sign him. And I think it's in their best interest that Roberto stays. Would you like Beckham to stay? He's also a very important player, but I think he's already signed a contract with another team. That said, Real Madrid has everything it would take for David to stay. But once the League ends and we're in La Cibeles Fountain celebrating, many players may change their minds about leaving. What do you think about the possibility of bringing in Ribery and Robben? I am not familiar with them. The best would be if no player left and that more were signed. We have to work hard and I am only worried about myself. I really want to stay here. I have returned to my national team after missing seven months, and I have played matches and made it to the Copa America. The Club will do whatever is in Real Madrid's best interest.
