P. the defenses usually they are not very merciful with you. Tiene fear to injure itself?

R. No, does not have anything to do. But soccer is being every harder day. And not only with me. To Ronnie [Ronaldinho] kills kicks to him and they do not toot a lack to him because it is not thrown. It has much force and more patience than santo. The referees could protect a little to the forwards more, but, as they do not do it, it is necessary to jump and callar.

P. Two years in First Division and counts two injuries. Worries to Him?

R. I am not calm, are things of soccer. He is something horroroso to be injured. I do not see nor the parties of badly that it step. It does not know the desire that I must to play partidos.

R. does not play? It did not know. Good, other will play that will try to do just like él.

P. What Madrid hopes?

R. They finish to him eliminating, like a we, of the Glass of Europe. So, psychically, we are in a similar situation. I wait for a Madrid that complicates much to us the things because it has quality and good players, like Gago, that I like much. Ganar.

will not be easy P. Of the course passed to the present one, has changed its roll?
