Fabio Capello: "Watch out for Osasuna"
As he does before every match, coach Fabio Capello held a press conference to answer questions about his team. On Saturday, the Italian boss hit on Antonio Cassano's apology and return to the squad, but he preferred focusing the attention on Sunday's "hard but very important" clash against Osasuna.
Cassano has returned to training with the squad.
Cassano apologised to me and his teammates. He's back with the squad, and that's that.
And Ronaldo is out.
Ronaldo's injury is a setback. I've been told he can be back in two weeks. He was getting back into form and helping out the team, but him missing 15 days is bad news.
Cassano's apology coincides with Ronaldo's injury.
The press always skew things. Cassano apologised to everyone, and that's it. Not because Ronaldo is injured. No one knew he was hurt. Cassano apologised before anyone knew.
What do you think made him change his mind? He previously said he never apologises.The Cassano situation is over. He's back. He, like everyone, has an opinion, and he decided to apologise. It's smart to recognise your mistakes when you make them.
Is the Club counting on him?
Our next match is tomorrow, and he's a member of the squad.
Will he make the teamsheet?
We're barely 18. We're really pressed.
What do you think about the players who are being considered for the winter transfer window?
Ask me when they are here, not now. I don't like mentioning names.
The Osasuna match will be a gutsy all-out battle.
It worries me a lot more than the signings, the Cassano problem, and the Ronaldo problem. It won't be an easy match. They always battle it out against Madrid. They are very motivated at home. It's a hard, but very important match. I talked to the team before training and told them, "Watch out, this will be a hard-fought battle and they really want to beat us."
Therefore, you need players who play hard. Will Beckham get the start?
I have 18 players. They will all be there and are available to play. Tomorrow you will see who plays.
Mijatovic said that the League can be all but forgotten if Sevilla continue playing the way they have been. Is there that much of a difference between the way Sevilla and Madrid are playing?
I haven't read about it. Sevilla are a good team. I already said that there are five or six very equal teams this year that will be vying for the League title.
What are your thoughts on Raúl being left of the Spanish national team again?
That's the national team coach's decision. I don't want to get involved or create any controversy. He decides, not me.
