We’re still in contact,” he said, referring to the group of youth team graduates dubbed ‘La Quinta de la Galletta,’ of which Raul and Guti were the most successful.
“Raul is Real Madrid. I don’t know if he’ll coach the team soon, but I get the impression he plans to do it sometime. But he needs time and space, as Zidane did.

“Zidane will do very well. He’s a football man. I know everything evolves but in the end, football is the players.”
“Rafa was always affectionate with that generation of players. Everyone knows his career and his statistics. But being Madrid Coach is complicated,” Sandro said of his former boss.
“I played under Valdano and then I didn’t play for Castilla. I don’t think it was Valdano’s fault or Benitez’s fault, it was my fault. I showed what I had in the first team and then in Castilla, when I returned, I wasn’t psychologically prepared.”
“He took a major leap. Being in the Segunda B two weeks earlier with Castilla and a week later he debuted as a starter in Zaragoza,” he remembered.
“He was very nervous. We shared a room that night and he started walking around the room with the lights off.
“I woke up and could feel someone was moving in the dark. We showered and left the hotel by the back door for a walk to relax. He did alright, no?
