Hahaha.. eti cheki madude kama yapo dukani vile yanauzwa.. Alafu kilichonifurahsha ni kuwa kama unakipaji ukasajiliwa, pia familia yako kama wanaprofesion zao wanapewa ajira katika klabu. Mf. mzuri ni dingi yake Odergaard ambaye amekua katka jopo la makocha wa timu za vijana.
Hata hawa ndugu zake na Lucas nao nahisi hawatakaa bure spain, lazma watapewa mashavu kulingana na taaluma zao.

Wachezaji wakimaliza mazoezi kila mtu anarudi nyumbani kwake, Lucas ni bado bwana mdogo hawezi kuishi peke yake, kwa hiyo familia ni muhimu. Halafu maisha ya Spain ni bei rahisi compared to other European countries. Kwahiyo hata wazazi wasipofanya kazi pesa atakayopiga dogo, bado wataishi maisha hali ya juu sana. vile vile Brazil kwenyewe maisha mabovu watu wanakuua saa yoyote. Dogo ni mkombozi wa familia.

Lucas Silva first Press conference as a Real Madrid player :
Lucas Silva: "I came to Beranbeu before as kid with my brother and father wearing a Real Madrid shirt, He's a Real Madrid fan so today is something big for us"
"When I came here I remember so well my father wearing his white shirt, & after that we had a big poster of Zidane in our room"
" I watched lots of Real Madrid games, & used to choose them in every video game, I'm happy to be here & Many thanks to everyone"

"I have to give my best in the field"

"One of my goals is to be a starter, I will reach it step by step"
"When I talk to Ancelotti I'll know what to do to adapt to Euro football, I think there won't be many things"
"I saw Madrid games this season's, The team is fine and doing good job and I came to add everything I can"

"It's a dream come true for me to play alongside a player that I idolise, Cristiano Ronaldo"

Real Madrid have lost their mojo
DEVOID OF IDEAS, FITNESS OR A GAME PLAN
That well-oiledReal Madridside we saw in October and November, which played wonderful football and scored with ease, is now a thing of the past... until further notice.
Win, lose or draw, Los Blancos' problem is their football: they simply are not playing well. They appear devoid of ideas, physical fitness or a game plan.
During Saturday's match, they played worse than a daring, well-organised Córdoba side with a clear game plan. So brave were Djukic's men, that with the scores level - an excellent result for the home side -, they still went in a search of the win. In fact, playing the league leaders brought out their most aggressive, attacking side.
Was it the worst first half of a game this season? If not, it seemed like it. It is not a case of looking back now, game upon game, but it was even worse than the game against Getafe, where there were some rather extreme circumstances. Playing a rigid 4-3-3, with Khedira in for Isco, Real Madrid were predictable, lacked any real pace and struggled with their transition from defence to attack.
There was a lack of individual genius or effective teamwork. Cristiano and Bale looked stunned; Kroos had lost his spark; Carvajal was off his game; Marcelo was stunned by Bebé's attacking strength... and so on and so forth, except for Benzema, who may have been slightly better.
Khedira played tight to his right wing; the arrival of Lucas Silva having had little to no effect on his game. He may still be in La Liga in body, but his spirit appears to have already moved to the Premier League or the Bundesliga.

Ancelotti optimistic over Isco
MIDFIELDER MISSED CÓRDOBA MATCH WITH MUSCLE STRAIN
Real Madrid sorely missed Isco in Córdoba. Carlo Ancelotti knows that the midfielder is perhaps the most in-form member of his squad and so the 22-year-old is one of the first names on the team sheet right now, but he was unable to make the trip to Andalusia at the weekend having struggled with a thigh strain last week.
'Los Blancos' now have another week to prepare for their next game, which sees them entertain Real Sociedad at the Bernabéu. Isco is expected to be able to take part in full training throughout the next few days and Ancelotti is optimistic that the former Málaga man - who has been one of Real Madrid's most influential players this season, despite not being first choice at the start of the campaign - can help breathe new life into his team.
James Rodríguez is another player who is looking to get back to full fitness. The Colombian was also on the fringes last week and, though he was deemed fit enough to play on Saturday, he looked jaded and some way off his best.[marca]

Lucas Silva: "I'm going to be very happy at the best club in the world"
Florentino Pérez introduced Lucas Silva to the press at the Bernabéu's presidential box: "We're world champions, but there's no room for complacency. Nothing is ever good enough", the Real Madrid president stated.
"Our fans are among the most demanding in the world", the midfielder remarked, "but they're also unflinchingly loyal".
After noting that winning La Liga and an 11th European Cup is Real's target for the season, Florentino said: "All that I ask is that you give everything, all your passion, to this team and this club".
"I'm grateful to God, to the Cruzeiro and Real Madrid presidents, to my agent... I've come here to learn and to help out. It's a dream come true and I'm very happy. I feel very ready to wear and honour this shirt. This is the best club in the world and I'm going to be very happy", Silva responded.
Silva arrived in the Spanish capital on Sunday and underwent a medical at the Sanitas La Moraleja Hospital prior to his unveiling at Real Madrid's famous stadium. He was put through his paces by the club doctors, coming through unscathed after several heart, respiratory and muscle tests.
Subsequently the anchorman - who will wear the number 16 at Real, like he did at Cruzeiro - was whisked off to the Bernabéu to put pen to paper and face the media alongside Florentino Pérez. [MARCA]

James: "Cristiano is impressive to watch"
James Rodríguez described Cristiano Ronaldo as a joy to behold because he is "excellent, on and off the pitch".
"Cristiano is excellent, both on and off the pitch. For me, he deserved his Ballon d'Or victory for what he achieved in 2014. Yet he is totally modest. We have a very good relationship", James said in an interview with FIFA.com.
According to the Colombian, "out on the pitch, everyone knows how valuable he [Ronaldo] is, but it's impressive to watch how he trains and works off the pitch. That's where you see the real Cristiano, and you understand why he is where he is".
Regarding the Puskás Award he recently won for his goal during Colombia's game against Uruguay in the last 16 of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, James said: "Yeah, that made me very happy. I began thinking about that award right after I scored, and thank God it came to pass. The fact that the public voted for me also made it special - it was an open vote".
"I only have words of gratitude for them. It will be difficult to match that goal, coming as it did in the Maracana and at a World Cup, but I'll keep on trying. The other goals [from Stephanie Roche and Robin van Persie] were also really good, so I knew it would be a hard-fought competition. I dreamt about winning it and luckily that dream came true", he added.

FIFA confirms Real Madrid are under investigation
FOR ALLEGED IRREGULARITIES IN SIGNING YOUNGSTERS
FIFA has confirmed that it is investigating Real Madrid for alleged irregularities in signing minors.
However, as yet no disciplinary proceedings have been launched. "FIFA is currently gathering information and documents to be able to correctly evaluate this matter", a spokesperson for football's governing body told the German press agency dpa.
"For the moment no formal disciplinary proceedings have been opened. We are unable to provide any further information at this time", the spokesperson said. Real Madrid have assured that they are relaxed despite the FIFA enquiries, which could result in a hefty sanction if any irregularity were to be discovered.
"All I'm going to say is that we agree with FIFA on this matter. We have worked with FIFA and shall continue to work with FIFA and of course, we're absolutely confident in Real Madrid's transfer dealings", said Emilio Butragueño, the director of institutional relations for 'Los Blancos'.
Last season, FIFA set a clear precedent in sanctioning another of Spain's major clubs, Barcelona, placing an embargo on the club signing any new players until 1st January 2016 due to irregularities in signing and registering players under the age of 18 between 2009 and 2013. Barcelona's appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) was rejected.
In recent days, MARCA has been reporting on FIFA investigations into other clubs, including Real Madrid. [MARCA]

Ancelotti to go back to 4-4-2
MIDFIELD TO BE BOLSTERED IN RONALDO'S ABSENCE
Not yet knowing how many games Cristiano Ronaldo will be suspended for, Carlo Ancelotti is currently mulling over how best to proceed without him.
He has a number of options, but everything points towards a return to 4-4-2. This has happened before when
Ancelotti has not been able to use the so-called BBC (Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano) and barring any surprises, it seems that for next Saturday's match against Real Sociedad he will bring in a midfielder and leave Bale and Benzema up front.
Ancelotti will have Isco back in the midfield alongside Kroos and James, but that still leaves one midfielder to make up the numbers. At Córdoba Sami Khedira was in for the injured Isco, and in principle Khedira ought to stay in the team.
The other possibilities are Illarra, though this week negotiations are underway for his departure to Athletic de Bilbao, and if an agreement is reached then he won't be available to Ancelotti at all. There is also Lucas Silva, who has just landed in Madrid and yet he is quite ready to make his debut.
The only way of having three strikers is to go for Jesé or Chicharito, but Jesé is still not fully fit and Chicharito is still viewed as a reserve by Ancelotti.
It is no big deal for Real Madrid to be without Cristiano Ronaldo. It is true that they lost the only game he has missed so far this season, yet they did beat Barcelona in the Spanish Cup final last term when the Portuguese talisman was absent. [MARCA]

Since he joined Real Madrid, Gareth Bale in 43 La Liga games has been involved in 41 goals (25 goals scored, 16 assists)
