Good read.
There is a wonderful moment in this month’s “Informe Robinson” where Michael Robinson, the former Liverpool and Osasuna striker and now one of the most respected presenters and directors on Spanish television, leans forward and asks Jose Mourinho a rather personal question. “Is your wife in love with The Special One too?”
“No,” Mourinho...

Del Bosque Explains Xavi's Absence

With the aid of Google Translate-
- What is the reason for Xavi’s absence in the squad offered today?
“The reason is that the boy is suffering a lot and showed us he could not. Between us there is a climate of trust, a trust relationship that allows us to ignore the player. The main thing...

Laurent Blanc: Benzema Is Not Used to Working
Ouch.
France coach Laurent Blanc has admitted that Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema finds it difficult to focus his mind when there are other influences around him.
Blanc took over from previous coach Raymond Domenech after France’s turbulent and dismal World Cup campaign and, as Benzema was not taken to South Africa with the squad, the new coach claims that he may have seen why.

From Una Madridista: Xabi's Missing Tweet
Xabi tweeted this earlier today, but later deleted it (so I got it from another source). It says, “enjoying the [article] ‘a session with hair stylist Philip B’” with a link to the article. The article, from newspaper El Mundo, talks about the visit of hair stylist Philip B to Spain and has a picture of him styling the hair of Xabi’s wife, Nagore. Unfortunately, it doesn’t saying anything...

From Una Madridista: I Hope This Gets Resolved...
This is from Marca, so please take it with a grain of salt.
According to the newspaper, these are the reasons why Mou is upset with Pedro León:
One. Mou didn’t like the tactical errors Pedro León made in the game against Levante. Mou had told him to help out the fullbacks and cover Asier del Horno whenever he made his way up the wing, which he did quite passively. In one play, as Del...

The players had a day off yesterday (finally!), and apparently Álvaro Arbeloa spent most of that day online.
He created a new page for himself on Facebook, added pictures to it, and then started exchanging tweets with three of Spain’s best tennis players, Fernando Verdasco, Feliciano López and Carlos Moyá!

From Con la Roja: La Roja News
One. So I guess the answer is “yes AND no” then. Here was Andrés Iniesta’s answer to whether sex during the World Cup would be safe/sure (in Spanish, the word “seguro” is used for both those meanings):
Let’s see if it will be “seguro” because my girlfriend is here.

Two. And David Silva, in an interview on his new life in the Premier (where one of...
Anonymous asked: If you get ESPN Deportes, check it for the live games on TV - I have been able to get most of the games on TV, either there or on GOL TV. I get Spanish channels in whatever cable package I have (I'm in Chicago). Unfortunately now when the games are on Saturday they get bumped off ESPN or ESPN2, because all they seem to care about is college football, not futbol! Live streams are great but...

At least we know he wasn't bored yesterday.
AS reports that Pedro Leon while the team was in Auxerre, he was in Valdebebas training with the injured players.
Apparently, Mourinho has a policy that if you’re not on the squad list, you’re in the gym working with the physios.
The article also notes that while Leon was on the pitch with Albiol, Canales, & Gago, Kaká and Garay were in the gym.
isaberabera asked: i have the embed code for that video but there's no way to view it without a spanish proxy. any proxy i happen to use disables the downloadability (?)

According to AS, Ángel Di Maria was involved in a minor accident Wednesday morning. Fortunately, he suffered no injuries. Like a good boy, he called the Real Madrid staff and his family to notify and assure them that he was OK.
I haz a question.

In case you missed it – Auxerre vs. Real Madrid [2010-09-28].
We won by the minimum, but, as Mou said, we do have six points. And we didn’t concede any goals, so while I may still not be content with the team’s play, I’m satisfied with this result.
One. The team wore the purple kits for the first time this season. What did...
