Real Madrid finished the first training session of 2015 before the match against Valencia.
Real Madrid completed their first session of 2015 and continued their preparations for this Sunday's La Liga game against Valencia in Mestalla (17:00H). Ancelotti called on the youth academy's Medrán for a session during which Sergio Ramos trained in the Madrid club's indoor facilities and Modric continued with his recovery work. With Casillas, Keylor Navas and Pacheco training separately, the outfield players at Ancelotti's disposal performed warm-up and muscle-strengthening exercises before working with the ball. The Whites completed demanding dribbling and passing drills.
Sergio Ramos & Marcelo will undergo fitness tests today to see if they are ready to face Valencia day after tomorrow or not. - Hope for the best, this away game (Against Valencia) is one of the most important games of the liga season and we really need Ramos and Marcelo in this big clash.
Real Madrid will face Atlético Madrid two times (Copa del rey) in the month of January and if Real survive in those 2 legs of Copa del rey they'll also be facing Barcelona in the next round of the tournament. 2 against Atlético
2 against Barca One tough month !!
Marco Reus to Real Madrid Transfer Rumors Analysis: It's that time of the year when the Injury struck teams are looking for reinforcements of their weak areas and all the big clubs in Europe are keeping an eye on the contract situations of good players of other teams or stalled contract talks to pounce on Europe's finest talents. Marco Reus' situation is a bit different though,his contract doesn't run out this Summer,but it has a decreased release clause which gets activated at the end of this season.A release clause which let's him get transferred to his preffered club for just 20M and Reus'.This situation attracts attention from all the big guns of Europe because Reus is definitely a player who is worth more than that. According to many sources Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are favourites to acquire his signature.Many sources have been quoting that his preferred destination is Real Madrid although he might not be able to play regularly but many such things were said about James and Kroos too and now they are one of the most regualrly played players in our midfield & we know Perez always has plans and space for good players in this Real Madrid side.
If Real Madrid are successful in signing Marco Reus from Dortmund, he might be able to provide us the cover for 3 positions i.e Bale,Benzema and he can play as a CAM too although Ancelotti has no such position in his formation but we also know that he can accommodate and change players playing styles according to his will (Bale,James,Isco and Dimaria are perfect examples of that).If that happens Reus will be a great signing for Real Madrid,his attacking sense as well as finishing is supreme.
Apart from that,Reus' transfer will also have some negative effects,it would hinder the progress of Jese Rodriguez as well as Isco's playing time will get effected too.If we only look to play Reus as a striker or winger,then we must also know that Isco and Jese can play well in those positions too.So if Reus comes in Jese will surely go out on a loan spell and Chicarito will be sent back to Manchester United too. If Perez can do that,Reus might surely be a great capture for Real Madrid.
Other clubs looking closely for Reus' signature are Atletico & Chelsea if anyone of those gets him,their attack will become really good,imagine [Hazard---Costa---Reus] or [Griezmann---Torres/Mandzukic---Reus] playing in one team and you find might a reason for Real Madrid and Perez to sign him! .
