Everyone is wearing make-up for photo-shoots, it is a part of making the picture look better

AS interview with Sahin:

http://www.as.com/futbol/articulo/encuentro-bien-lesion/20110704dasdaiftb_23/Tes

It has been almost two months since announcing his move to Madrid. Have you landed at the feet on the ground or still on a cloud?

Now I'm thinking a little more. All I'm living with my signing for Madrid is a dream. From the time I reported on their interest in hiring until the moment I picked up the pen to sign the contract. Recent weeks have flown by and I still can not digest how big this is.

How did his move to Madrid?

It was a very special moment. One day at home resting my agent, Reza Fazeli, which had invited me to talk about sports issues. Suddenly, someone told me that Real Madrid was going to call from England. Five minutes later, stunned, answered the phone. I say, "Yes?". And I hear: "Hi, I'm Mourinho." I thought that I was playing a joke, but even so the conversation flowed. He said he had been following me throughout the season at Dortmund and I wanted for his team.

It was a call that caught him by surprise. Since then, talk has turned to what will be his coach?

Yes I have been given the task of organizing in midfield.

Are you aware that in Madrid it will be very difficult to get a place in the starting lineup? Will play alongside the best players in the world ...

I have great faith in myself, I will be in the starting lineup. If the injuries I may, I have no doubt and I will work hard for it. Zidane is one of my idols and I want to look at what he did in Madrid.

Madrid is one of the best teams in the world, but now the club seems to be a step above. Would not it be better for you to sign for Barca?

Barca are a team and is in excellent shape, but Madrid has been chosen by the highest authority as the best football club of the century. Therefore, Madrid remains the best club in the world.

He missed the last six weeks of the Bundesliga with a knee injury. Are you ready for spring training starting on July 11?

Yes, I'll be there the first day. I am as good as before the injury. No sign of those aches and my intention is to train as fast as my new colleagues. I have really wanted to start this new phase. It's rare to want to finish your holiday as soon as possible to start working (laughs).

Is teaching Spanish to accelerate its integration into the team. How do you take?

When I was in Dortmund I started teaching Spanish, but self-interested, not because he knew he was going to join Real Madrid. I did with other colleagues with the translator of Lucas Barrios. Also, months ago my wife and I are taking intensive courses. Topal already told me that when he arrived at Valencia hardly anyone spoke English and was not understood very well with their peers. But I do not think I have such problems.

AS.com | 13/07/2011
Nuri Sahin of Germany did not participate in the third practice session
conducted by the Real Madrid today in the North Athletic Field
facilities at the University of California-Los Angeles. Sahin yesterday if you exercise normally.
The player had not played a game since April and trained yesterday for
two hours in the morning and an hour and a half in the afternoon and was
able to acknowledge the effort. He stayed in the gym.
He also worked outside of their colleagues Xabi Alonso, who has a
problem on a nail that forced him to leave the afternoon practice
yesterday. The race was exclusively Gipuzkoa slippers. The Whites, who opened the session to the press during the first fifteen minutes, will train this afternoon.

from RM website:

"Real Madrid C. F. player Nuri Sahin was bruised on his left knee (not his recently recovered right knee) in the 12 July training session. A magnetic resonance done the following day at UCLA Health System Hospital confirmed he has a Grade I sprain on the internal lateral ligament. He will miss 2 to 3 weeks."

by Mr Nick09 Wed Jul 13, 2011 10:36 pm

how bad is that kind of sprain? long term effect?

by guest7 Wed Jul 13, 2011 10:38 pm

Ah. I know too much about those, could be nothing but potentially very bad. Is it serious?

Dammit, seriously frak sakes. Hope he dosent do another Lady Gaga here...

Xabi's injury is good news, now we can play someone else instead of him. He has grown slower the past season and he's almost doing no better than khedira who is another mediocre player.

Sahin needs to work more on his physique in order to avoid injuries in the future. We can tolerate 3 weeks without him in the pre-season but not more esp when the season kicks off.

by EarlyPrototype Thu Jul 14, 2011 10:21 am

Is Sahin's injury long term? if it is then he will be a Kaka 2.0 with both knees frakked.
