Real Madrid fullback Michel
Salgado says senior players are confident of success under new
coach Manuel Pellegrini.
Many have questioned whether the Chilean will be able to handle
the high pressure job, but Salgado argued: "He's a great coach and
has an important advantage for coaching Madrid - he knows Spanish
football because he has coached for five years at Villarreal.
"And he did a wonderful job there."
Pellegrini is working his players hard, as Christophe Metzelder
admits: "I have never woken up so early to train and I have not
trained three times a day for any team."
Raul added: "Since I've been at Madrid I have never done a
triple session!"
