(I don't think he's that eager to come to Barca either, but that's another issue.)<BR/><BR/>It's interesting that both Real and Barca will be losing their best holding midfielder to the ACN. Barca will hope that Rafael Marquez is fit enough to cover the position, although there have been rumours that we're looking to sign someone as cover as well.<BR/><BR/>Gago should in theory be able to cover for Diarra, so are his struggles a problem of adapation? (Well, the rest of the midfield hast to defend, too, but that's a team mentality thing.)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807392842004716065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320842051069026097.post-27835093482662342182007-10-19T15:48:00.000+01:002007-10-19T15:48:00.000+01:00rajab bader,I love Cesc Fábregas for Real Madrid a...rajab bader,<BR/><BR/>I love Cesc Fábregas for Real Madrid and he may be teh solution for our poor play but is very dificult because he has said twice that he want to stay in Arsenal.<BR/>Now it seems that Barcelona wants him and maybe Real try to sign him, but is really dificult.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320842051069026097.post-76866297068169668462007-10-18T20:25:00.000+01:002007-10-18T20:25:00.000+01:00I would honestly love to see how Sergio Ramos woul...I would honestly love to see how Sergio Ramos would fit in the role of defensive midfielder. Ramos has proved capable, thus far, of floating into the positions where we need him, and his combination of pace, long passing, and defense all indicate he could fill the role. <BR/>Furthermore, Madrid has plenty of options for full backs and center backs, with Marcelo and Drenthe developing, Torres fully capable Heinze who can play both full back and center, and then Cannavaro, Metzelder and Pepe: We could spare Ramos on the back line.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00153063783044990316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320842051069026097.post-72424835421697901742007-10-18T17:18:00.000+01:002007-10-18T17:18:00.000+01:00Rubin is right.

I am from Mali and because of Diarra I have become a big fan of Real's. Too bad that Real is losing fans in England because Beckam left, but on the other hand, the club is winning many more new fans, particularly from the countries of origin of its new players. We also hope that Mali will have many supporters from Spain (Madrid, Sevilla...) come the African Cup of Nations in Ghana in January.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320842051069026097.post-43716754435543999102007-10-17T16:50:00.000+01:002007-10-17T16:50:00.000+01:00Rubén,Creo que Schuster tiene la intención de camb...Rubén,<BR/><BR/>Creo que Schuster tiene la intención de cambiar como defiende el Madrid, estrechando las líneas. Eso ayudaría a que la posición que ocupa Diarra no quede tan desprotegida y Gago, que no tiene tanta fortaleza física pueda desempeñar sus tareas defensivas mejor. En lo que se refiere a interés aquí (en el Reino Unido) en el Real Madrid, hay bastante menos en los medios que cuando había jugadores ingleses (sobre todo Beckham), pero, claro está, es considerado uno de los "gigantes" del fútbol europeo.<BR/><BR/>[<I>So that everyone else does not feel left out (sorry Anonymous!) by the exchange between Rubén and me, I will translate:<BR/><BR/>Rubén commented that Real should have planned in advance, knowing that Diarra was likely to be out for a significant length of time, and reinforced that position. I replied that I thought that Schuster's intention is to change the way Real defends, decreasing the gap between defenders and midfielders and making sure the position occupied by Diarra was not left so exposed. If that happens, then perhaps Gago, who is not as physically strong as Diarra, might perform better than he has thus far.<BR/><BR/>Rubén also asked about the level of interest here (in the UK) in Real Madrid and I replied that it had decreased a lot in the media since the English players (especially Beckham) had left, but that it is obviously considered to be one of the "giants" of European football.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps!</I>]TheAuthorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11295271952718935345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320842051069026097.post-26933431501926676052007-10-17T16:23:00.000+01:002007-10-17T16:23:00.000+01:00yeah!, ok.
