Old stars want to shine again. The player I talk about is the Brasilian Kaka, who is tired of being just a backup for Real Madrid. He is confident that he overcome the difficult times and promises to be a major player in the new season for the Galactics.

Kaka showed his talent in the game with Zaragoza when he managed to score one of the goals, making a strong statement that he wants to continue in the same style in both the championship and Champions League.

In a few words he is grateful for the confidence that Mourinho showed regarding him: “If he didn’t wanted me, he could have told me that and start to find me another team. I know he needs me, he made me feel that throughout our collaboration”.

The Brazilian midfielder is convinced that 2012 is an important year for Real, a year in which they cannot slip the trophies through their fingers, like they did last season when Barcelona took almost everything: ” In the locker room, everyone feels that something important will happen. We want to do great things for our fans, for us and for all those who love Real Madrid. Last year we took the cup in Cibeles Square, now we hope to go there more often”.

With so motivated players, Real Madrid is going to be a hard-to-beat team in all the competition in which they are involved. Opponents, watch out!

Although was a very long battle with many hours of negotiations, offers over offers, the perseverance of Barcelona’s officials was fully paid. The wanted here, because we are talking about Cesc Fabregas, had turned to be one of the best acquisition of Barcelona for a very long time.

The games just started and Fabregas already looks like he played for the Catalans since he was born. He gathered in just a few weeks 3 trophies and scored a lot of goals, at least one in every game played, some things that he never done during his Arsenal adventure.

“I came here to play right next to Messi. And it was a huge reason I wanted to return home. I haven’t seen players like Messi, he is incredible, having everything that a player needs. Barcelona is not comparable with anything, is unique!” said Fabregas.

Former Arsenal captain is very good friends with Pique but they hardly met because of the quarterback’s injury. Pique was the first who welcomed Fabregas when he came to Barcelona. “ Nano, I cannot believe you are here! ” was his reaction when Fabregas stepped in Barcelona’s locker room.

A new season, new opportunities and again, show presented by Barcelona’s alien players.

Murinho blames Casillias

on August 23, 2011 None comments

On a time when good results stop to appear for Real Madrid, Jose Murinho is haunting for heads. His first victim seems to be Real’s goalkeeper, Iker Casillias. All these started after they lost the Spanish Super Cup against their old time rivals, FC Barcelona.

Mourinho was upset about Casillas lack of action in the Super Cup with Barcelona, especially in the tense moments at the end of the return game.

According to the press in Spain, Mourinho would seen Casillas’s moments of weakness, a thing that frustrated the Portuguese coach.

This wouldn’t be the first time when Casillas got into his coach bad eyes. Last year, Mourinho even wanted to take his captain armband, after some consecutive mistakes done during the championship.

Once again, Murinho shows that he is a coach very hard to satisfy. The only questions remaining are that Murinho is searching for guilty persons for the latest failures? Does he feel that his position is threatened? A club like Real Madrid which invested a lot in transferring new players, wants positive results for their investment and for now, they didn’t got any.
