is this for real?
September 23, 2010
According to Marca (this is their cover today), Mou and Iker had the following conversation.
Iker: we would like to know if it’s possible to start training sessions at 11h, rather than 10h. That way, we’ll be able to take our kids to school.
Mou: but you don’t have kids.
Iker: yes, but some of my teammates do.
Mou: they’re a minority.
On the last point, he’s right, because only Ricardo Carvalho and Jerzy Dudek, the two oldest guys on the team, have kids that are school-age. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out, if it’s true.

I don’t know why I literally laughed out loud at Iker’s excuse, and Mou’s answer. It sounds so wrong on so many levels.
wow. marca. wow.
I find this soooo sensationalized especially considering Jose Mourinho is a father himself.
looking forward to further developments of this story. madre mia…
Lol what is this? Poor Marca is running out of stories.
wow, that is too funny… “but, we need to take our kids to school” “you don’t have kids”
… does Marca expect us to take this seriously though!? I admit I can’t, lol!
Ok. Probably my worst comment but still: is there a time for start of school like in france? us it is 8.30 or 8.45 so if it’s the same, i guess u would have time to go to school, and drive to training in time no? unless driving in madrid is like driving in paris= hell. Anyway, how dare they use the kids to have more sleep in the morning 🙂 ?
Methinks the Marca editors are making up stories again!
I am just on vaca in Madrid (saw my first RM game live – unfortunately am leaving soon – boo hoo) and have been buying Marca everyday while i have been here – I am addicted to it but it amazes me how they manage to fill 40 pages every day. Today’s cover made me laugh, especially the pics – Mou with his hand to his ear. It was like something from the cover of the National Inquirer!
Oh goodness, what is this? Really this made the front page of a newspaper. Mou needs to put these newspapers in their place. He needs to cut off their access to the team.
..So that was an entire article? They should’ve just printed a large picture of Iker instead of wasting space. Better yet, a picture of Iker and Sergio; now that’s some well used space right there 😉
Well done JM!! hahahahaha one draw it was doomsday 3wins later marca and as have no stories!
Excuses aside, this whole story just made me want to imagine Iker with kids (his kids, that is)! And I like the picture Marca used of him, even if their story is silly (kids indeed!)
