Sergio should not be in a hurry, just follow his path in life. What has shown that some but not much, is that you head, an indispensable condition for their age. Channels is an unexpected attraction League and the boy has not imported. Sergio plays soccer and is the happiest child in the world.

Real, the darkness

Real Madrid transits in darkness. His bad start in this newly released 2010 was away on a ship which is launched towards revalidate their league title. With five points behind Barca, doubts surround a merengue team already looks askance at Valencia, located just three points of the set of Pellegrini.

Within merengue still think that the championship has been an uphill struggle after the bump in San Mames, where whites suffered their third league season KO.

The new year is bringing to Real Madrid more disappointments than expected. The first three games of Madrid in 2010 have resulted in a win against Mallorca, a goalless draw in Pamplona and a defeat in Bilbao.

Barca, in contrast, has managed seven points, thanks to its two thrashings against Tenerife and Seville, and the tie in the Nou Camp against Villarreal Ernesto Valverde.

More devastating is the flow of goals for Barça over Real Madrid in the last 15 days: the de Guardiola have scored ten and have received only one, while those of Pellegrini, who also conceded a while, just have seen door twice .

If the light is directed towards the two great figures of each team, Barca out even more triumphant. In the last four league games, Messi has signed seven goals, six more than the Portuguese, who still has not sung one goal in the 2010.

Group Therapy

Yesterday there Valdebebas group therapy, where the template merengue was brought under heavy fog.

The template 'Che' think they can give chase to the galaxy if they maintain "calm and humility," he said yesterday as midfielder David Silva, a name that sounds harder to strengthen the meringues for next season.

In Madrid have already clear that there is no room for error. Defender Arbeloa came out yesterday to the press room of Valdebebas with the lesson well learned. "We can not stumble over" and added that "the difference of five points with Barcelona must be taken into account, but is salvageable"

The Madrid and doubt Benzema

Karim Benzema still crashed in Madrid. A gastroenteritis prevented French striker yesterday exercised the team's return to training. After intermittent performance in Bilbao, the Frenchman has again disappointing this unexpected illness and the white club and certainly a player who arrived at the Bernabeu to be considered a galactic level Cristiano and Kaka, without being yet.

Benzema, overshadowed by the devastating effects of the 'Pipita' Higuain is not proving that it is the '9 'of a mother to start looking like the new Anelka, wayward player that failed under President Lorenzo Sanz. If Benzema hustler not here at the end of course, the club will consider one year to cede some of the Premier League club with the hope that return to the Bernabeu more facts and harder.

Benzema, however, made clear not even a month ago that he wants to win a seat on the eleven Pellegrini and has no intention of emigrating to English football where you are tempted several important clubs: Chelsea, ManU, Manchester City, Arsenal. ..

The only records that Benzema has broken this season are two accidents in less than a month. The first took place on 30 November following the classic at the Camp Nou. The former Lyon player smashed his car, on the edge of the two in the morning, against a tree in urbanization on living in Madrid, on his return from Barcelona. During the holidays, the Frenchman suffered another car accident, even without physical consequences, as he left a nightclub on Reunion Island, east of Madagascar, where he spent all night celebrating its 22nd birthday.

A few days ago, Benzema showed their discontent through the French press by repeated substitutions. The Frenchman only has 'connected' with his countryman Lass Diarra, who yesterday was precisely the charge of communicating to Manuel Pellegrini on the lawn of his friend laausencia Valdebebas because of gastroenteritis.

With Higuaín low until early February, Benzema failed to impress in Bilbao. You have two more chances to convince the club and Real Madrid: Malaga at the Bernabeu on Sunday (if your belly aches permitting), and then to Depor Riazor

He added: "Benzema is a player template. We need all players to their highest renidmiento and do not do that with 11 players."

With regard to the intention of giving the white club invalidity Rubén de la Red-another-current issues would not 'wet'. "I'm aware of what has emerged in the press but it's a personal issue with the club player and I have enough information to give an opinion," he said.

Pellegrini press conference

Manuel Pellegrini has faith in his men and believes the team will keep up the good work despite the injuries sustained.

"Athletic Bilbao have a defined style. They are strong and rely on aerial plays. They play at a very high level. We have to score from our chances, which we failed to do against Osasuna in our previous away match. We are currently having a good run. We continue to improve, but we can never be fully satisfied. We are performing well and I hope we continue to improve with each game we play."

"Higuain's injury is as important to us as any other player's. He was scoring goals for us. It's a shame he got injured when he was having such a good run. I nevertheless think of the whole team and I believe the squad is good enough for us to continue to play at a high level. I have faith in Raul and Benzema. I believe they are doing a good job."

"I watch all of my men closely during training and in each of our games, so Benzema has nothing to prove to me. He proves his quality on a daily basis. We need all of our men to be ready in order to have a good season both in La Liga and in the Champions League. It's pointless to just focus on eleven players. This is a large and quality squad.

The player, as reported by our colleagues J. L. Calderon and S. Herrera, already thinking about reporting to Real Madrid. Without doubt, this is a cold shower for him, that would cut short his hopes of returning to play football someday.

A heart problem from the network keeps away from the pitch

Network manages the possibility of Madrid in the courts. Not willing to accept his disability. Furthermore, since suffering syncope was not achieved an accurate diagnosis of his illness and now takes months without passing tests that clarify their heart problem.

"The more we improve, the more successful we'll be. We have to be 100% fit to the end of the season in order to have chances to win the title."

"I played in a different position against Mallorca. It's important to adapt to each situation. The coach will ask you to do one thing or another depending on the men he's got available. I played closer to the attack with Gago by my side. I have no preference for any particular position. I try to do my best wherever I play."

"We try to focus on ourselves and not on what Barcelona do. We want to improve on a daily basis, both in attack and in defence. Barcelona are a strong and solid team, with a well defined style. They are a powerful opponent. Time will tell if their elimination from the Copa del Rey is good for us or not."

"Liverpool's elimination from the Cup is the result of many dofferent factors coming together. They aren't having a great season and they will have to analyse why. I can't really tell what's happening to them from a distance. The season is very long and they are the ones who have to solve their own problems."

Real Madrid will play at San Mames, one of the toughest stadiums in La Liga, on Saturday. Atheltic Bilbao

Real Madrid will play at San Mames, one of the toughest stadiums in La Liga, on Saturday. Atheltic Bilbao currently have 27 points and are very close to the European qualifying positions on the table. Joaquin Caparros' team is having a great season both in La Liga and in the Europa League thanks to combining elaborate tactics with a straightforward style. Athletic like to play down the wings and are lethal when one of their crosses into the box finds striker Llorente, their best player.

The Basque side likes to make fast transitions between defence and attack, always searching for Llorente. The team rarely keeps possession for long, always looking to play down the wings and reach its opponent's goal as soon as possible. Caparrros usually uses a 4-4-2 system that may change to a 4-2-3-1 depending on whether Lorrente is accompanied by Toquero in attack or if the coach decides to position another midfielder behind the striker (usuallly Javi Martinez or Yeste).

Goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz has become a strong asset and has earned the coach's full confidence, as he is reliable and hardly eccentric.

Athletic have problems in defence. Aitor Ocio has only played three games this season, so Amorebieta has had to assume leadership of the defending line. Young centre back Mikel San Jose has also had a chance to shine recently given the injuries sustained in defence. One of Bilbao's best players is right back Iraola; he is fast an helps out in attack whenever he gets a chance. His great quality allows him to play both as a right back and as a midfielder. The left back position is covered by Koikili, who doesn't attack as much.

Javi Martinez is the brains of Athletic in midfield. The Under-21 Spanish international is creative and makes steals. Besides distributing his team's game, he can be lethal from outside the box with his powerful shots on target. Martinez is the team's second top scorer with Toquero (3 goals each). Orbaiz and Gurpegui complete Bilbao's midfield, giving Martinez more freedom on the pitch. Susaeta, Yeste, De Marcos or Muniain usually play down the wings.

Athletic's game revolves around Fernando Llorente, an incredibly versatile and quality striker. Llorente has a powerful shot and he is excellent at finishing off efforts in attack. Toquero may play alongside him.

Guti: "The team has improved considerably

Guti played against Mallorca on Sunday after a long struggle with injuries. The midfielder said he feels "fine and happy," and that he wishes to "retire at Real Madrid." Guti also praised forthcoming opponent Athletic Bilbao for the great season they are having.

"I feel fine. These months have been complicated for me because of the injuries I've sustained. I'm happy, but it's obvious I'm not as fit as my team-mates yet. I'm working hard to reach optimum form as soon as possible."

"The team has improved considerably. We had doubts at the beginning, but we now play better together and we are more aggressive in attack. We are making good progress, which was to be expected with the great number of quality players on the team. It was a matter of time for this to work out."

"It is one thing for me to always want Barcelona to lose, but that's not to say I think they aren't a great team. Barcelona are capable of making a comeback against Sevilla tonight in the Copa del Rey and of turning the overall score around. Nevertheless, I don't think it would be a fiasco for Barcelona if they were eliminated from the competition."

"I think Raul is as he's ever been. I think he does a lot for the team and that he will do important things for us. He is always a leading figure, both on and off the pitch. We know young, strong and anxious players are behind us, which makes us work even harder, but this has happened to greats such as Zidane and Figo."

"I'm impressed with the season Athletic Bilbao are having. They are doing rather well in La Liga and they are achieving their goals in the Europa League. It's hard to explain why they are doing so well in both competitions. It may be because they have a great coach and because they are incorporating very good players from their academy that are increasing the team's performance level and adding freshness to their game."

"Both La Liga and the Champions League are important to us. Our main opponent in La Liga is Barcelona, and there are many more in the Champions League. You have to drop as few points as possible in the Spanish league because, as we all know, Barcelona are a very regular side that hardly drops points. None of the two competitions will be easy to win."

Orbaiz: "For me, the star player of Madrid

The Athletic Club player Pablo Orbaiz said at a news conference that to beat Real Madrid this Saturday in San Mames can serve "as reference" that played in the clash against FC Barcelona in November and ended with a tie on a goal, and that both "are computers that most of the game will take control.

"For me the star player of Real Madrid's Raul, on behavior and performance in many years"

"If there is anything we can do to win not say publicly, is secret, so we can surprise them," Navarro joked when asked about the keys to beat the team of Pellegrini.

Referring to last year's clash, which ended with white for 2-5 victory, the Elcano said that "every season and every game is different," so it will "try to push hard and put a high pace" for overcome the contrary.

"The matches against Real Madrid is always special. Last year we were in a situation similar results, but not as comfortable as it is now in the standings and lost. The important thing is to take the field, give everything and be very orderly," said

Zidane Cristiano hallucinates

Zinedine Zidane is delighted and surprised by the performance of Cristiano Ronaldo. In an interview with the Chinese channel Iznews, former Real Madrid player said that "the game is fascinating, and the speed with which it has adapted to Spanish football is impressive. I think it's a special player. His self-confidence is spread throughout the team. At his age, it's amazing all that has already contributed to Real Madrid. "

The legendary bearer of 5 White also talks about his role at Real Madrid. "It's an honor to work with Florentino Perez, who wants to build a new team to the story. Now, I try to learn. Florentino has given me great freedom to learn the various aspects of the club. My goal is to be someday Club executive.

A Zidane pledges do not distress the time to recognize the talent of the cracks of Barcelona. "I love Andres Iniesta for their sense of collective. But Leo Messi is simply unique. When you have the ball, everybody knows that anything can happen
