    Analysis: Real juggernaut in need of repair post Mourinho

    By Iain Rogers MADRID (Reuters) - Florentino Perez's decision to hire Jose Mourinho to coach his beloved Real Madrid in 2010 was the fruit of the construction magnate's obsession with winning the 10th European crown that has eluded the club since 2002. The bespectacled 66-year-old, who has splurged more than 400 million euros of the club's money on players since returning to the presidency in 2009, was also desperate to end the domestic and European domination of Real's bitter rivals Barcelona.

Young goalkeeper Damian Martinez has signalled his readiness to step up his game and become an important player for Arsenal.

33/1 Arsenal are 33/1 with Paddy Power to win both the FA Cup and League Cup this season

The 20-year-old was given his debut for the Gunners in the 6-1 victory over Coventry in the League Cup, and went on to state his ambition to make an impact at the London club.

When asked by Ole about his chances of breaking into the first team on a regular basis he responded: "I am working for that. They played me and I responded well, so they know they can rely on me.

"Arsene is very professional, and is very helpful. He treats the best player and the 17-year-old lad the same way. And he has the same demands. And if he has to play the kid that is better than the veteran, he will."

The Argentina Under-20 international has been brought up the pecking order at the Gunners after both Wojciech Szczesny and Lukasz Fabianski picked up injuries.

Martinez also spoke about his ambitions to break into full international setup in the future.

"I know that being in the Premier League, one day Sabella [Alejandro] is going to look at me."
