Real Madrid Set to Face Club America
The Spaniards, now guided by controversial Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho, will face Mexican powerhouse Club America at Candlestick Park in San Francisco on Wednesday, August 4 at 8:00 PM. Real Madrid has set up camp in Los Angeles since last Saturday when they arrived to the exclisive Beverly Hills Hotel. FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010 Spain goalkeeper and captain Iker Casillas arrived to Los Angeles yesterday to join his teammates, while Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso were the last two players to join the team today. Mourinho now has 22 players from the first team and 5 from Madrid's youth divisions at his disposal for their USA two-game tour.
Real Madrid had its last training session prior to tomorrow's match today in L.A. where Mourinho continued to emphasize pressure on the ball and playing the ball wide through the flanks. Brazilian star Kaká worked differently from his teammates in what appeared to be recovery load. Madrid will arrive to San Francisco just hours prior to the match from Los Angeles, where they will return to for their Saturday match against the Galaxy on Saturday August 7 at the Rose Bowl.
Club America arrived to San Francisco yesterday and had a training session today, where the biggest and most demanding workload was shared by goalkeepers Guillermo Ochoa and Armando Navarrete. The rest of the team worked very lightly, mainly on muscle-losening exercises and recreational games with the ball. We will post some videos of Club America's training and will bring you all the excitement from the match tomorrow, directly from Candlestick Park.
