March 17, 200817 yr Raúl And Guti Hold Depor InquestRaúl and Guti held lengthy talks on the trip home from A Coruña on Saturday evening as they tried to work out why Real Madrid produced one of their worst performances of the season.In a game of few chances, Los Merengues would expect to come out on top but they were beaten by a determined Deportivo team and an inquest was held.After Raúl had stated that it was a poor performance to the media, he talked with Guti about why there was no spark throughout the side, according to AS.While their position in the league table was not greatly affected after Barcelona were held by Almería, Madrid's veterans were still concerned that performances have to improve.Guti is reported to have been stunned that he was the only player even attempting to create something from midfield, while Raúl then spoke at length about his feelings on the game.The pair were confused that Roberto Soldado was named in the starting line-up, but because of the importance of the game and not because of his performance.A silver lining for Madrid is that six of their last ten games of the season are at home and Ruud van Nistelrooy and Sergio Ramos are both set to return to the team.
March 19, 200817 yr Raul Misses Training With InjuryReal Madrid captain Raul has sat out today's training sesion at Valdebebas, spelling trouble for boss Bernd Schuster...As if the prospect of losing Ruud Van Nistelrooy for the rest of the season wasn't bad enough, the German coach today also had to deal with his captain's absence.The veteran forward picked up a muscle strain in his left leg that rendered him unable to complete Wednesday's morning session at Valdebebas, meaning that he was only able to work in the gym.However, unlike Ruud, the capatin is expected to return to training by the end of the week, and certainly in time to meet Valencia at the Bernabeu on Sunday.There was some good news for the manager in the form of Arjen Robben's return to team action. The Dutch winger shook off his latest injury, sustained against Recreativo in Huelva, to train with normality.Wednesday's session marked the end of a period of rest for the blancos, who will reconvene on Thursday morning for more training.

March 22, 200817 yr De La Red In, Raúl Still Out For Italy FriendlySpanish national team coach Luis Aragonés today announced his twenty-two man squad for the friendly with Italy in midweek, with Getafe's Ruben de la Red the only new face included.Spain face the Italians at the Estadio Martínez Valero in Elche on Wednesday as part of their build-up for the European Championships in the summer.Aragonés appears to have decided on the core of the squad that will travel to Switzerland and Austria for the tournament, but was keen to stress that players who impress between now and the end of the season still have a chance of forcing their way into his plans - with de la Red used as evidence of this fact."[de la Red] is a player who is improving; he can fulfill a role just ahead of the midfield area. Any player that we can see is in good form is going to get an opportunity to come into the squad," he told a press conference earlier today.No RaúlThe continued exclusion of Raúl was again questioned by the Madrid media, but Aragonés was keen to avoid discussing the issue any further, having already faced the media alongside the Real Madrid striker to discuss the situation in the past."We arranged that meeting so that you would no longer speculate on the subject," he snapped.Bojan Back To BasicsYoung Barcelona striker Bojan Krkic had looked set to make his debut in Spain's last friendly match against France until he picked up a virus, but he has been omitted from the squad to face Italy, as Aragonés feels he is needed more by the U-21 side."The under-21 team also has its objectives and Bojan is an important player for them," he explained.
