Another in the Chelsea squad, Ricardo Carvalho, is also a former Real Madrid player while Juliano Belletti returns there having experienced the El Clasico in his Barcelona days.



Poyet surveys the Real Madrid Legends squad.



‘I know well Fernando Morientes, I played with him in Zaragoza and it was spectacular, we had a good relationship and it will be good to see him again. I had a good chat with Raul in New York. I met him in a football gala, we talked about coaching and he just got his first appointment with the second team at Real Madrid which is going to be great and I congratulated him. I know Roberto Carlos from games between Brazil and Uruguay, and I ran a lot down his side!



‘Butragueno I played against for many years and he had a few nice words when Real Madrid beat Real Betis [where Poyet was manager], he was very good with me. Cesar Sanchez I had when I was a coach at Tottenham.



‘I could not play when Chelsea Legends played last year [against Inter Forever], I was working so it is nice to see the boys again.



‘I was never a runner, I did not like pre-seasons, I just did that work because it was needed, so I am not going to be running now, but I like the gym and I like to look after myself. I am alright and I think I am going to have a good time on the pitch today.’
