Real Madrid boss Rafa Benitez is looking forward to their preseason tour of Australia and China.
Benitez is excited to be kicking off his Real career in Asia.
"With a sense of great excitement allied with the responsibility of representing this club across the world. We're aware of what Real Madrid means for millions of supporters on every continent. As professionals, we have to fit the club's commitment to its universality with the preparations and demands of pre-season. I have to admit that it's not easy to combine both objectives. The stature of Real Madrid sometimes leads to scenarios like this; it's something that's normal at football's elite clubs, but allow me to mention my experience again.
"At other clubs, we've undertaken tours like this and the key is in the organisation, in which we're going to prioritise sporting aspects. The training facilities and conditions are key for us, trying to reduce the travelling times each day, resting between events with sponsors, etc.
"In short, details in which, again, the professionals that this club has are showing the high standards they set. We'll try to make the most of the time we have to get to know each other better and, as I said to begin with, combine football and image-related objectives."
