Ramon Calderon is full of confidence ahead of the latter half of the season, believing that a treble is eminently possible.
Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has promised his troops a bonus if they land the Liga, Champions League, and Copa del Rey.
He told As, "The start of the season has been very good."
"We're in a unique and enviable position, but it's far from being over."
"I think that this team can win everything, and I've offered the players a bonus if they complete the treble."
"Coach Schuster is the right man who will be here for many years. He's the [Alex] Ferguson of Madrid."
Other members of staff winning the prez's praises are Raul and Pepe.
"Raul is a point of reference for this club and must remain so," insisted Calderon.
"My goal when I became president was to keep him as the reference point, and retain for him the captaincy that others wanted removed."
" Pepe? He is an exceptional player who is beginning to remind us of Hierro."
"And we'll renew Van Nistelrooy's deal. No question. This year he'll share the Pichichi [top scorer's award] with Raul."
"This is a great squad and it might not be necessary to rebuild next year."
Finally, he touched onsome transfer speculation.
"We can't feed rumours [of Kaka] and we don't know if it's possible," he stated.
"Cesc? He'd be great for Madrid. But we must wait and see."
