Well, after Kaka's HYOOOGE presentation, comes Raul Albiol's.
Sure, it wasn't the 50+ thousands that cam to see Kaka, but still, 8,000 or so is not a bad number, considering most stadium in Israel can't even hold that much.
The Spanish central defender chose the number 18, that used to belong to Ruben de la Red (and Faubert, but I really don't want to talk about him). Ruben's a good friend of Raul Albiol, who promised to keep that number safe until Ruben's expected return to the football field.
For those of you who don't know, Ruben, who was a huge promise, and one of the best potentials ever to come out of Real's youth system, passed out, 11 minutes into a cup game against Real Union last season. He has been out of action since, and has done more than enough medical exams and tests, to try and figure the cause of what happened to him. Unfortunately, no cause was found, yet, and Ruben will not be able to play football this up coming season. We all cross our fingers and hope and pray that he will be healthy, first and foremost, and if possible that he will return to play for Real, as soon as possible.
Back to the good news, and the next player to be presented should be Cristiano Ronaldo, if I remember correctly, and that will happen in 3 days' time.
