DE LA RED: FROM A REAL MADRID "REJECT" TO SPANISH INTERNATIONAL

RUBEN DE LA RED, 22 year old Spanish midfielder who plays in
GETAFE, was called up last Saturday to form part of the list of
Spanish players to represent his country in the upcoming International
friendly game against ITALY next Wednesday night in Elche (Spain).

Grand achievement, as he was "rejected" this season by his long time

club REAL MADRID were he was a junior & a B -side player. De La
Red jumped to the señior side last year & after a few "try outs" could not

get a place in the Real Madrid A-side. The places were taken by foreign
players of the calibre of Diarra, Sneidjer, Gago, Guti, Drenthe,
Baptista, Higuain...etc.

To find a solution & to give the youngster much needed playing minutes,
Real Madrid loaned the player to Getafe with an option to get him back

the following season, an option Real are sure to exercise at the end of this
season.

De La Red has proven that given confidence, games & minutes that he

can be a valuable asset to any team, so much so, that his performance
has helped put Getafe in the Spanish Cup Final, maintain them in the
Uefa Cup were they now play Bayern Munich in the Q/finals & has
steered Getafe into a current & respectable 9th place on the Spanish
League ladder.

Hopefully his dreams will come true & he will be given the chance to
debut as an International next Wednesday. The player himself is happy
with Getafe & very grateful, but he would enjoy very much to return
to Real Madrid & triumph with a regular place there & continue his
development.
