Real Madrid host Racing Santander on Saturday when La Liga resumes following the final round of World Cup qualifiers. The Verdiblancos have won just one match all season, but will players of the caliber of Munitis, Tchite and Serrano, there is no way the Whites can overlook their opponent.Racing Santander are looking for a new coach after Mandia was sacked by President Francisco Pernia. Some of the possible replacements include Luis Fernandez, Gianni de Biasi, Victor Fernandez and Miguel Angel Portugal. The team is currently being overlooked by interim coaches Gonzalez and Castaños.
Following their Copa del Rey victory against Salamanca, the team is focused on "maintaining this same form." The victory boosted the team's spirit and it knows it is capable of playing plenty of goof football in the future.
Tchite is on fire after scoring a brace against Salamanca, but the Racinguistas' primary threat comes from the wings, where Oscar Serrano, Munitis and Luis Garcia have the speed and talent to keep defenders on their heels.
