DEFENDER PREDICTS REAL WIN.


Byline: by DAVID David, in the Bible
David, d. c.970 B.C., king of ancient Israel (c.1010–970 B.C.), successor of Saul. The Book of First Samuel introduces him as the youngest of eight sons who is anointed king by Samuel to replace Saul, who had been deemed a failure.
 PRENTICE

REAL MADRID defender Michel Salgado has predicted the Spaniards will beat Liverpool 2-1 when they arrive to play their first ever game at Anfield next week.

But they are likely to be up against a fit again Fernando Torres Fernando José Torres Sanz (born March 20, 1984) is a Spanish football player currently playing for Liverpool. He was born in Fuenlabrada, a large suburban town south of Madrid and was the youngest player to play for Atlético Madrid and the youngest to become captain (at age 19).  - as well as a one goal deficit - as they aim to do so.

The Spanish giants will arrive on Merseyside in bullish mood despite Liverpool's 1-0 win in the Bernabeu last Wednesday.

"Liverpool surprised us with their tactical approach, but we will do whatever we can to level the tie up," said Salgado.

"We are prepared to throw everything at them to overcome this predicament.

"I think we will beat them 2-1 at Anfield. I don't believe it will be a whitewash whitewash, white fluid commonly used as an inexpensive, impermanent coating for walls, fences, stables, and other exterior structures. It varies in composition, being generally a mixture of lime (quicklime), water, flour, salt, glue, and whiting, with other ."

Fernando Torres, who picked up an ankle injury in the first leg which ruled him out of the Premier League trip to Middlesbrough, is confident he will be fit for the double header against Madrid and Manchester United next weekend.

"I hope to be available for both of the matches because they will be two great games," he said.

"The ankle injury has been giving me some trouble and the recovery process is taking longer than I hoped.

"However, I am quite optimistic that I will be ready for the match versus Real Madrid, and if the ankle holds out, I will also be at Old Trafford Old Trafford commonly refers to two sporting arenas:
  • Old Trafford (football ground), home of Manchester United F.C.
  • Old Trafford (cricket ground), home of Lancashire County Cricket Club.
."

Torres does not accept the claim that his injury problems this season have cost Liverpool their chance of winning the Premier League title, adding: "I don't think that I'm to blame for the injuries, it forms part of the game.

"I have suffered three muscular injuries during the first three months of the competition, and now I have picked up an ankle injury.

"I don't think my injury should be considered as a reason for Liverpool not winning the league."
