Life without Van Nistelrooy

Will do, although not lacking in enthusiasm. Bernd Schuster is surrounded by its enemies, rolled through the results and martyred by bad game of his team. Now, injuries are becoming the new rider of the apocalypse white. And the body asks launched the ring and demand to voice shout at getting what he promised. Four signings to face, eyes and talent. But the German has decided to throw what you have. And will take time to rebel when the knives to settle on his neck.

From time to go spend their injured by nursing, look to one side to another without finding reinforcements, continues to Cristiano Ronaldo on television and he is resigned to criticize those who have given weapons to defend themselves. On the eve of a game against Malaga which may be broken glass if it does not reach a goal in the first half hour, she found a new stab in the stomach. Van Nistelrooy is injured and probably for quite some time. Missing dwarves grow next to the gate 54 of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

The big problem is the absence of top scorer. For the game against a Malaga arriving in one of the best spells in their history in the Primera Division, there are more reasons to complain. Pepe will also be low, the stubborn Robben, De la Red, which is still under observation after syncope suffered in Irun, and, probably, Sergio Ramos, who had a swollen ankle more than a boot. But what the Dutch striker is already thinking about curses. Because it can be low until after Christmas in the worst case. And only then will be available three attackers, Higuan, Raul and Saviola. The latter has to Schuster virtually the same as any player B.

Van Nistelrooy leads

Two weeks with pain in his right knee. On Thursday, doctors said enough and the club decided a global magnetic resonance. The results could not be more devastating because it could have affected the rest of the external meniscus that was operated in 2000. That injury occurred while still playing at PSV Eindhoven and was negotiating his move to Manchester United. Although it was a whole year without playing, Ferguson he had faith. He waited and confirmed its signing months later. He was not wrong to make that decision.

Doctors at the white club have decided to consult the doctor Steadman, who intervened then, before making a decision about your treatment and the possibility of a new step for the operating room.

Probably, Van Nistelrooy is, along with Casillas, the only irreplaceable player the club's target. Soon start to appear pools with the names of the 55 forwards who follows the technical secretariat of the white club for the winter market. It is usual.

Schuster, which already spends to request reinforcements, because he knows he will not do either case, merely commented yesterday that he hoped the men who had their orders. By the way, included in the list to the attacker's subsidiary Alberto Bueno, one of the players with more projection of the factory Valdebebas.

The coach said his team did not feel that crosses a pothole: "We lost to the 'Juve' for a number of details and if we had won, all the press would have said that Madrid had done his best game of the season" .

Schuster idea is to change the system, abandon the idea of the three strikers and reinforcing the midfield with four players to seek a better deal with the soccer ball and a less direct. The idea is that the team is able to bring the initiative and control the game.
