Ivan adds to Madrid gloom


Ivan Helguera has slammed Real Madrid coach Juan Roman Lopez Caro for the way he has been treated.

"The match against Arsenal was the first important game I've missed," said Helguera. "He said it was because I was out of form, but I know that myself and Pavon are paying for the 6-1 defeat against Real Zaragoza.
"I'm being treated unfairly. But I have three years left on my contract and do not want to think about leaving. I just want to play."
On the prospect of Carlo Ancelotti joining Real next season, Helguera added: "It wouldn't matter who came, I know I would play more than I have under Lopez Caro. Ancelotti is a good coach who takes care of his players. He's less Italian than the others and would be good for Real."
