Breaking News: http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670 and Coentrao back in training for Real Madrid
The Portuguese duo resumed training for Los Blancos. Both the players have been out of the Madrid first team squad since September 18th. However, Jose Mourinho has received good news as both the players were able to train on Tuesday.
Currently most of the Madrid squad is out on international duty. The two week international break came in as a blessing in disguise for the Spanish Giants as both these players were being severely missed by Mourinho.
The young Raphael Varane proved to be vital for Mourinho during the games in which Pepe couldn’t perform. On the other hand, it was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Coentrao in the holding midfield position. However, while Khedira wasn’t available for Mourinho,
it was Lassana Diarra who played for Los Blancos and he is definitely not as good as Coentrao or Khedira in the midfield.
Pepe is a vital player for Madrid. He is one of the few defenders who can perform consistently in the centre back role. While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricardo-Carvalho-c30973 is at an age where injuries are bound to happen, Pepe is the player who can lead the defence at Santiago Bernabeu.
On the other hand, Fabio Coentrao has only just signed for Madrid but he has managed to become an integral part of Mourinho’s set up. The Portuguese star has managed to become a vital utility player for the Spanish Giants.
Despite being a left back in his former club, Mourinho often plays him in the holding midfield position. He has been solid for Madrid while Sami Khedira was out injured. Khedira is now back in the squad but with Coentrao on the bench, Mourinho will have
more options available to him.
Due to their respective injuries, both the Portuguese players could not go on international duty where http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 is currently playing the qualification round of Euro 2012.
Real Madrid will now have all the players available to them. Mourinho now has http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251 back in the squad as well. This simply adds up to the depth of the squad and Mourinho can always field all these new players in order to change the
cause of the game.
Madrid will be facing Real Betis on Saturday and these two players are expected to play as players returning from international duty will be rested by the Portuguese tactician.
