Hello

"We can improve our image by beating a good Steaua team"

Sergio Ramos will return to the back line after serving a one game suspension and missing Saturday's Getafe match. "Steaua are a good rival to get back on track," stated the centre-back in today's press conference.





What do you know about Steaua?
They have some important players and always play well in big competitions like this one. We'll try to play a great game, and our main goal is winning.
Would you prefer winning La Liga or the Champions League?
They are both important. It's a privilege to play in both, so we're going to fight for both, but right now we have to concentrate on the Champions League.

Can so many things change over the course of three days?
Everything can be improved upon. We didn't play well on Saturday, so we have to improve our image by correcting mistakes. Tomorrow will be a great day to begin.

Are you familiar with any of their players in particular or any dangers they present?
We're worried about the team as a whole, not just one player. [Capello] will tell us who to keep an eye on.

The 18-year-old Rio-born defender scored on his Selecao debut in the 2-0 friendly win over Wales at White Hart Lane on September 5.

Marcelo's agents, Richard Alda and Reinaldo Pitta, met with Real sport secretary Franco Baldini in Porto Alegre on Monday and Alda later spoke confidently about the status of the negotiations.

"A love has begun," said Alda to the GloboEsporte website.

"Today (Monday) there was a preliminary discussion and we will meet again later this week.

"We cannot finish a transfer like this in only one evening."

Fluminense president Roberto Horcades said that he would wait for official contact from Real Madrid before commenting, although he added: "The interest on Marcelo is not new.

"We've been aware of this for some time but I want to make it clear that he (Marcelo) is not sold yet."

It has been speculated that Marcelo will join Real in January for a transfer fee of between 6 and 6.5 million euros (£4.04 - 4.38 million).
