could owen's ego hadle it? will it be that line up stay that long?

[raul julia]

archille,first of all, welcome to the unofficial real madrid fan page in istorya.net......as to your question about owen's ego, i guess by the time he arrived at the Bernabeau he knew that he cant start right away, and so humbly he abide by the managers decision and accepted his role at the bench knowing that his time will come..Now with injuries to Figo and Beckham it was his to time to shine and he did particularly well scoring on all four starts........I think this guy will be one of the pillars of Madrid in years to come......

my starting eleven hmm its gonna be 1-2-4-2-2

goal keeper
samuel and pavon
salgado,beckham,helguera,carlos
figo and zidane
raul and ronaldo

I guess you want Owen to come from the bench!

This has worked for them for quite some time.

[raul julia]

it depends on the situation and the opponent......for example(assuming im the manager) in the champions league, let us say they're through to the next round, then I would let Morientes and Owen start up front in their last game agains Roma,so that i can rest Raul and Ronaldo.......in football anything can happen......

2-2 draw with Dynamo Kiev...

[raul julia]

that was a good result, meaning their progress rest in their hands.....if they win their home game against Leverkusen then, their through.......

[raul julia]

Barcelona won again, they are now 10 pts ahead of our Madrid.,.,hope they can win tomorrow away to Malaga..

[raul julia]

did anybody saw the game against Malaga?....well I did and if ur a Madrid fan, u'll gonna love it..what a teriffic job by the defensive combo of Carlos,Pavon,Helguera and Salgado..they were very confident and cohesive.....and how about the forwards?,well not that bad either.They were unlucky though and it took a penalty, on a challenge on Zidane, converted superbly by Figo that gave Madrid the lead.And how about our boy Owen?, well he didnt start, but the Gods were smiling on him, a fifth goal on six matches for the English international from a wonderful assist by Salgado..He calmly chested it down, flick through a defender then bang, goalllllllll!!!!!As Gerry Armstrong says, Madrid is back and thats bad news for the other teams........surely hope they can keep this streak alive for both home and away mathces.....Guti,Celades,Zidane,Figo,Raul,Ronaldo completed the starters with Owen coming in for Ronaldo,Solari for Figo and the golden boy Morientes for Raul.......
