Real Madrid’s Sergio Canales, the lost wonder – Spanish La Liga special
A lot was expected from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, and perhaps the world. In a team of galactic superstars, Canales would bring youth and exuberance to
the squad and help the team to build on its showings of 2009/10 La Liga campaign.
The 2010/11 La Liga campaign did not go as the Spaniard had wished it would, taking part in a measly 10 games mostly as a substitute. The teenager knew he had a big task in front of him if he wanted to get into the first team and patiently waited on the
sidelines. Countless times during the campaign, Canales was seen getting ready to come on the pitch only to be consigned to the bench for the remaining of the game.
The starlet has shown extraordinary patience for a player in his position, never speaking against the lack of playing time and showing his resolve to stay and prove his worth. Unlike compatriot http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582 Leon, Canales is favoured by Jose Mourinho. The tactician
fancies the player and believes him to be the future of the club.
Interest in Canales has not diminished after his debut season with Real Madrid. Clubs from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 have been linked with the player, who in return is weighing his options. The player has stated his ambition to earn playing minutes at Santiago Bernabéu.
Interest from England is live and valid. English sides Aston Villa and Everton are keeping tabs on the young midfielder and they are joined in their pursuit by German giants Schalke. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 were interested in the versatile midfielder in the January transfer
window. Manager Arsene Wenger was looking to increase the depth of his playing squad and Canales fit the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bill-c7610. The move fell through as Jose Mourinho did not want to sell the player.
A loan move away from Madrid is expected this summer. With the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hamit-Altintop-c15652 and Jose Maria Callejon at the Capital-based club, Sergio Canales will have first team opportunities limited.
Talking to Spanish sports daily Marca the player said "I don't regret moving to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid and I knew that this first year would be tough. It's not great when I'm not in the squad but I want to show what I can do on the pitch."
A move to Aston villa has been fancied in the recent weeks as it is believed the player is held in high regard by manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/U-17-Youth-team-c40787
players in his first team squad. The man who brought http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 would surely carry on the development of the player.
Canales also has the option to go to Schalke and team up with Real Madrid legend http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652. The club won DFB-Pokal with their current squad and are building a team to challenge for top honours. At Schalke, Canales will be in a team with a rich mix of youth and
experience challenging for honours, and this is what should matter.
Mesut Ozil, Kaka, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Esteban-Granero-c12919 and Nuri Sahin are all in front of Sergio Canales for first team opportunities. With increased competition the player’s appearance will be limited and hence his short-term future looks away from the club.
