New president says Galacticos must come into the Real world

REAL MADRID’S new president, Fernando Martin, issued a stern warning to his players yesterday that those not committed to the cause would be unwelcome at the club.

“I don’t want a team of millionaires. I want a team of marvellous sportsmen who work 24 hours a day to achieve the best for our fans,” Martin said. “Those players who think they can stay here giving only the minimum amount of effort are wrong. Those who fight and sweat for the shirt know they will have mine and the club’s full support.

“I am not afraid to take tough decisions if people don’t give their all for Real Madrid.”
