Michael Essien is having an intense first month as a Real Madrid player, and he’s not hiding how happy he is to be defending the white shirt and to be under José Mourinho’s command. “I am really looking forward to having a great season and to defending our title as League Champions.” This Sunday they host Deportivo de la Coruña in Santiago Bernabéu stadium, and this Ghanaian is only thinking about scoring three points before his fans. “We have won two matches in a row and we hope to extend our winning streak,” he stated in an interview with the website Bwin.
