Real Madrid's Pepe suffers broken ribs

Real Madrid’s Pepe fractured two of his ribs; his 7th and 8th, during a clash following his side’s Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid. The Portuguese who scored his side’s only goal of the game is now a doubt for the UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Bayern.

Madrid later confirmed the sad situation in a statement.
“After the examinations carried out today on Pepe at the Sanitas La Moraleja University Hospital, he has been diagnosed with fractures in seventh and eighth ribs on the left side,” the club said.

Pepe extends contract with Real Madrid

Portuguese defender, Pepe has signed a contract extension that will keep him at Real Madrid until 2017. Pepe, 32, who has been linked over recent seasons with a move to English clubs Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United, has prolonged his stay at the Bernabeu club for another two seasons at least. The news follows his long-term centre-back partner Sergio Ramos also signing a new contract at Madrid, ending what had been a long summer of speculation that he could be moving to England.

“Real Madrid and Pepe have agreed the extension of the player’s contract, to remain at the club until 30 June 2017,” said the short club statement announcing the news. Pepe joined Madrid from Porto for €30 million in 2007, and has been a first choice for subsequent coaches Manuel Pellegrini, Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti.

He is also expected to start Sunday’s La Liga opener at Sporting Gijon under new Blancos coach Rafa Benitez, having returned to full training this week after overcoming the thigh muscle strain which saw him miss Madrid’s last two preseason friendlies.

"People hated Madrid during Mourinho's reign" Pepe

Real Madrid defender, Pepe in an interview with Radio station Cadena Cope, outlined the coaching styles of former manager, Jose Mourinho and the incumbent one Carlo Ancelotti. He revealed that albeit Carlo is not lenient, his training sessions are much more challenging than that of the Chelsea boss.

“I think our training sessions under Ancelotti are much more intensive than they were under Mourinho. For instance, we did very demanding exercises that we didn’t do with Mourinho.

“We have to climb uphill and it’s very hard. Every manager has his own methods but for me is much harder to do that than training with the ball for 20 minutes.

“Ancelotti is not too lenient with us. He has a very distinguished curriculum and he demands a lot from us. Ancelotti will continue, there’s no doubt about that. He’s a great coach and in a short space of time has brought us a lot of happiness.

“Whenever we play at another ground in Spain, we can sense people don’t hate us like they used to when the other manager was with us. I am not criticising Mourinho but it is what I think.

Today, Madrid is a very big club; we’ve cleaned up our image. Now Isco gets an ovation when he goes off – that would have been unthinkable before.”
