Nuri Sahin: Real Madrid glass men rank set to increase – La Liga Special
Ambitious players come to the Spanish capital every year, dreaming of immortalizing themselves in the galactic white colours of Real Madrid. The revolving door is constantly in use as Los Blancos continue their operation world football domination. Very few
have made themselves immortal at Santiago Bernabéu, and players leave Los Blancos on a regular basis.
Failing to adapt to Madrid lifestyle is a big reason why players have failed, however, the chief destroyer at the dugout has been injuries. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251 is now the latest victim, resigned to being out of action until November.
The Turkish international joined from Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund after a scintillating season. He entertained German crowds with his breathtaking displays from the centre of the pitch, and Jose Mourinho signed him up at the first opportunity.
However, the player has so far been unable to feature for Real Madrid. Niggling injuries, as most must have guessed rightly, have kept him out.
The tenacious midfielder got injured while preparing for the pre-season tour of USA in July and has been sidelined since then. It was reported that he would be back in action in three weeks but the poor Turk received another setback while he was still on
the sidelines. No surprises there – Madrid players are used to such fate.
Making their debut for Los Merengues has been a stumbling block for many professional footballers. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Red-Star-c40350 Belgrade. The Croatian was an obsession for Ramon Mendoza, who invested
2,500 million Pesetas in 1991.
He was believed to be the missing piece of the puzzle that would have made Madrid the champions of Europe. In his first year at the club, he played a measly three games for the Spanish giants, spending the majority of his time on the treatment table. Only
at Real Oviedo was he able to shine in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, troubled by back muscle injuries in his lone year at Camp Nou.
English defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonathan-Woodgate-c19069 is another player who fell victim to injuries. The former Leeds United player came to Santiago Bernabéu injured and remained on the sidelines in his first year. He made his debut in the second year before succumbing to
injuries yet again.
His purchase for 13.4 million Pounds was a total disaster and Madridista cheered at his transfer to Middlesbrough at the end of 2006/07 season. He stayed fit for the next couple of seasons before succumbing to injuries again, making a total of four outings
in the past two years.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 also had problem with injuries during his time in the Spanish capital. The mercurial player had a history of injuries when he joined Real Madrid, and this was amplified following his 36 million Euros deal. He had to go through a whopping nine
injuries during his less than two-year stay at Santiago Bernabéu.
Being unable to fulfil their footballing ambitions on the biggest stage of club football has been heartbreaking for many, and it looks like Real have another player in their ranks whose bright career can follow the same trajectory. However, los Blancos need
the tenacious midfielder if they want to fulfil their ambitions of dethroning Barcelona from the summit of world football. It is high time that Madridista start praying for his speedy recovery.
