Spanish daily "AS" reports the REAL MADRID coach Fabio Capello
has commented to Directives that he wishes reinforcements & that
the club should go after the above players ( not all, but thoses
available) in the "winter market".
The players that Capello looks for are CHIVU & MEXES ( Roma),
BELLUSCHI ( River Plate) & GAGO ( Boca Juniors).
This is a SFS opinion; it is traditional the FC BARCELONA will
intervene somewhere to halt the transfers or buy themselves.
Stay tuned for further developemnets in the next coming weeks
Spanish team OSASUNA got the run around & a good serve at the
hands of French team LENS by losing 3- 1. The French team was

ground advantage.

VAN NISTELROOY´s face says it all. REAL MADRID won
its Group E match thanks to a "silly" own goal by the STEAUA
BUCHAREST player.
Real Madrid managed to secure the 3 points & secure their
pass to the next competing rounds of the Champions League.
The Spanish team did not shine at all, but hey, a win is a win
& with the topsy turby form of Real thats just fine.
NICOLITA for Steaua Bucharest innocently passed the ball
backwards to his goalkeeper to find that he was´nt in
his position, gave Real the only goal & the lead.
Later a penalty to Madrid was given & VAN
NISTELROOY - pictured - missed it as the ball flew
pass the goal.
This was the feature of the whole match. The game finished
1-0 to Real that left an "indifferent" attitude with the spectator.
DAVID BECKHAM come on in the second half , was active & played
well, plus RONALDO made an appearance for Van Nistelrooy but did´nt
have time to get into the match. Keep an eye out for Ronaldo in coming
days, as it is tense & the player could explode at any moment due to his
bench warming time.
Here is the video:
The GROUP E ladder looks like this with 2 matches left;
1.Olympique de Lyon 12pts
2.Real Madrid 9 pts
3.Steaua Bucharest 3pts
4.Dynamo Kiev 0pts 
News Flash - 20.00hrs - Spanish press
has just announce the Ronaldo will
finally start on the bench tonight.
Will this increase the tension?
This man could make his return tonight
for REAL MADRID against Rumanian
club STEAUA in the Group E qualifying match.
RONALDO is tipped by local journalists
to be in the starting line -up. If this does takes place, it will ease the
tension with the coach & club for hisprolonged stays on the bench in recent
matches. Additionally the rumours that
Real Madrid wish to sell the Brazilian will
fall into the backdrop if he runs onto the
field. Does Ronaldo deserve to be lined up ahead of Van
Nistelrooy? If Ronaldo starts, will it be a "political" decision?
Two questions SFS leaves for its readers to contemplate & discuss
Here are the starting teams according to the Spanish press:Possible Line-Ups:
Real Madrid: Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Cannavaro, Helguera,
Roberto Carlos, Emerson, Diarra, Raúl, Guti, Robinho & Ronaldo.
Steaua: Cernea, Goian, Ghionea, Stancu, Marín, Paraschiv, Petre,
Nicolita, Badea, Dica & Thereau.
Anyone willing to predict the score-line?
