HE WAS VERY GOOD

Template:Spanish name 2 Rubén de la Red Gutiérrez (born June 5, 1985 in Móstoles, Madrid), is a Spanish football midfielder who plays for Real Madrid.

Club career

Rubén De la Red arrived at the Real Madrid youth system when he was 14, being the youngest in Cadete B. At one point, he was transferred to CD Móstoles after being told he was not good enough, but was soon re-signed by Madrid. After his fourth season with the club, youth coach Quique Sánchez Flores, who was moving to Getafe CF, wanted De la Red to join him at his new club, but Madrid turned him down. De la Red said: "It is a pride that Quique was interested so much in me, but for me Real Madrid is the number one choice, that is clear; everything else comes afterwards".^{[citation needed]}

Rubén De la Red made his first-team debut on November 10, 2004 against CD Tenerife in the Copa del Rey. During the 2006-07 season, he was also called-up to the main squad by then-manager Fabio Capello, along with teammates Miguel Torres and Miguel Ángel Nieto, and made seven appearances during the league-winning campaign. After the end of the season, the midfielder renewed his contract until 2011.^[1]

On August 31, 2007, de la Red was transferred to Getafe, with Real Madrid having an option to re-buy the next two years.^[2] There, he established himself as an important first team player, usually assuming the role of playmaker, having been joined at Getafe by another Real Madrid canterano, Esteban Granero, who arrived on loan. During the season, he was forced, due to injuries to teammates, to perform as centre back, notably in the UEFA Cup tie against Bayern Munich, in which second leg he was sent off in the 6th minute.

Real Madrid president Ramón Calderón confirmed in May 2008 that, along with Granero and Javi García, De la Red would return to the Bernabéu for the 2008–09 season. It was suggested that Ivan could be used in a swap deal involving a number of potential targets, although the then Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster stated that he was willing to give the midfielder a chance to impress in his team.

He scored his first goal for the club since returning on August 24, 2008, in the Spanish Supercup final (second leg) against Valencia CF, with an astounding long-range effort.He also scored his first La Liga goal for the club on September 21, 2008, against Racing de Santander.

On October 30, 2008, he was hospitalised after collapsing during a Copa del Rey match against Real Union. He suffered an effort syncope.

He has a five month old son with his wife. He honors his son with a thumb-sucking goal celebration.

On December 12, 2008, Real Madrid stated that De La Red will sit out the rest of the 2008–09 season as a precaution.

International career

De la Red played for the U-21 team before being called up by the senior team for a March 26, 2008 friendly against Italy, but did not debut. Uncapped, he was named in the nation's squad of 23 for Euro 2008 by coach Luis Aragonés, but would appear in two friendly games against Peru and USA prior to the continental competition.

During the tournament's final group stage match, De la Red scored his first international goal with a powerful strike against Greece, on June 18. Spain won 2-1.
