The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ghana-c2905 international has backed Jose Mourinho's side to put up a fight for the Spanish Primera title, claiming that Los Blancos have every capability of overcoming the odds.
Real Madrid’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Essien-c25294 is confident that his side can fight their way back into the Spanish La Liga title race despite having dropped a considerable amount of points early on in the league campaign.
Los Blancos appear to be struggling in their bid to retain their Spanish title. After having played 5 games in this season’s league campaign so far, Mourinho’s men have managed to win only 2 games. They have lost 2 and drawn one match.
Therefore, the Santiago Bernabeu outfit have collected only 7 points out of a potential 15.
To further increase their woes, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 have maintained a perfect record in their league campaign so far, winning all of their La Liga fixtures.
Nevertheless, Essien is convinced that Jose Mourinho’s men have every capability of successfully defending their Liga BBVA title. The midfielder claimed that Madrid are the greatest club in the world and will surely make their mark on the title race.
The footballer also went on to state that it is too early in the season to be jumping to conclusions and that nothing can be said at the moment. However, he maintained that every game is important and can prove to be decisive.
"We are talking about Real Madrid, the greatest club in the world. Every player would want to be here. I'm just Michael Essien and eventually I hope everyone will know me here," he said.
"It was a difficult start, but sometimes you see yourself in this situation. We have won two straight games and hopefully we can extend the streak it to three. Every game is important, and we need to earn the right to get more points and fight for the title,"
he added.
Essien was brought over to the Spanish capital on a one-year loan from English Premier League outfit, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786. The veteran midfielder is expected to make a positive impact on the Spanish giants as he rejoins his previous mentor, Jose Mourinho.
The two men were together during Mourinho’s reign over the Stamford Bridge.
