Cristiano Ronaldo Takes Raul’s No.7 Shirt At Real Madrid, Benzema Moves To No.9, Xabi Alonso Takes No.14
By Ollie Irish
All change in Real’s dressing room:
As Pies told you last week, Cristiano Ronaldo will take over Raul’s No.7 shirt at Real Madrid – so CR9 reverts to CR7, as he was at Old Trafford. That’s not all…
Striker Karim Benzema will take Ronaldo’s old No.9 shirt (perhaps he’ll do better with that), with new signing Angel Di Maria slipping into Benzema’s No.11 jersey.
Xabi Alonso takes Guti’s vacant No.14 shirt, with Gonzalo Higuain choosing to keep his No.20 shirt. New signing Sami Khedira has been penciled in for the No.16 jersey, unless Real manage to sell Mahamadou Diarra, in which case the German midfielder would be given Diarra’s No.6 shirt (Khedira wore the No.6 for Germany in the 2010 World Cup).
Phew. This is exhausting.
Spotter’s badge: The jersey switches were confirmed by Spanish rag AS.

True, but why would you be buying C(unt) Ronaldo shirt anyway? It’s great marketing move by Real and profits really should go towards their debts.
It probably isnt marketing to be fair… Players just tend to be anal about their numbers

Gaynaldo is unworthy of cleaning Raul’s boots, so he shouldn’t get Legend’s number
the Real Madrid players can change shirts as much as they want before the game or after the shower, there is one thing they must have clear; their will never be an other Raul – be a great player is more than the numbers! the only thing is that real madrid wants to focus on shirt selling wile FC Barcelona focuses on playing football!
ooooooooh!!!!

CRISTIANO RONALDO !!!!!!!!!!!!!
