PLAYER INFO
He hasn´t changed much since then, the main difference is that Inter saw in him what Real didn´t.
This was the puppy that Real couldn´t raise properly. A rather skilled center-half, with great sharpness in the cut and a modern day gladiator.
In these 2 season at Madrid he played 55 games, but never managed to score. Hi was more of a "stooper" than a creator back in these days. He was the one that set up the amazing pass that hit Dutch player Pauwee and enter the net in the 2002 UEFA Supercup against Feyenoord, one of his best games with the Merengue team, as well as the Intercontinental Cup final against Olimpia in 2002.
I remember watching him and asking myself, "is this baldie the proper replacement for the great, great Redondo?" Maybe I was a lil´ bit ahead of my time, but he proved to be, later, a worthy successor of Fernando, only not in the same team. Another Galactico who wasn´t a Galactico until he left The Galacticos, quite the paradox, huh?
