|  COMMENTS Fast and tough central defender, very good when anticipating attackers' actions
  WHAT I LIKE THE MOST ABOUT HIM He's hard to be beaten in fast actions, when he proves to be attentive and ready to act.
 
 
 WHAT I LIKE THE LESS ABOUT HIM The actions happening after a free kick, or those that made the ball move around the box. He then losses position very easily.
  A CURIOUS FACT Coming from a deeply rooted club in his home land, it was very diffiuclt for him to explain his family the reasons for which he would came to Real. He said to have passed through diffficult moments when his father and brother asked him the reasons.
  HIS HOTTEST MOMENTS 2000 season's end, when he enjoyed his best moments to be a part of the team that won the CL in Paris
