Today evening the Spanish Primera Liga will see a perfect ‘David and Goliath’ onfield combat when Xerez will be visiting the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
At one end we see the Real Madrid has spend 260 million Euros on players like Kaka, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo and on the other end we find the newly promoted Xerez loosing half of its good players because of financial problems.
The Coach Jose Angel Ziganda started the pre-season training with just thirteen players on the books.
Xerez is having a squad that is filled with players who either have arrived for free or on loan. The defeats in the opening two games hinted that it is going to be a long season for the team. Meanwhile the Real Madrid has begun with 2 wins and even a 5-2 triumph in Zurich in the Champions League.
Xabi Alonso is not in the team for ten days because of a calf problem and Christoph Metzelder will be missing three weeks with a torn muscle.
The coach Manuel Pellegrini will be looking to rest some players and make full use of his team.
