The Captain:

Ready to fight for his place
Day one in Ireland training camp was highligthed with first press conference for Real Madrid captain Raul, below I put clips of the most important points he talked about:
We are very excited, especially after last year, during which things didn’t go too well. We want to thrill our fans
about the new season and pre-season preparations
he’s (Ronaldo) doing great. He seems to be very happy. All our new players have integrated well. He is a very nice guy, a hard worker and very normal. He is very integrated and he looks happy
About Ronaldo
I’ve been fighting for 15 years. Your level increases with the level of your team-mates
Answering a question about his starter spot in the team
only role I must have is that of being a player. That implies playing or not playing….and the coach will decide if I play in the end
About if he is ready to have a secondary role within the team
He is one of the most sought-after footballers in Europe
Ribery possible transfer to Real Madrid
It’s fine. We’ve trained twice today and we still haven’t had lunch. It’s just a method and a player adapts to all sorts of them
Pellegrini’s three training sessions per day
We will try to win every title at stake. I think we can aspire to win everything with this squad
can Real Madrid win the treble like Barcelona
they are all welcome because they are great signings. They can all do important things here
