Real Madrid Pepe Out Six Months
Woke up to bad news this morning with word of Pepe sidelined for the next six months because of knee ligament damage. A player who Real Madrid general director Jorge Valdano described as “irreplaceable.” Of course this news hits home with his chances of making the World Cup now in jeopardy but really just feel bad for the player first and foremost.
Many people when thinking about Pepe will point to his red card for kicking Javier Casquero when he was down but he is a World Class defender. Pepe always reminded me of Rio Ferdinand who were just built of playing at the back line. It’s like each were molded for the position with their size and speed.
Hopefully I’ll get to see him play again this summer.
