Callejon: I didn't want to face Real Madrid so soon



Next week, Jose Callejon will be returning to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, where the winger made his name before leaving for Napoli.
A graduate of La Fabrica, the Spaniard spent three seasons at Espanyol before making an awaited return to the team of his youth, and now with Napoli he'll face his hometown club once again."I'm happy to be returning home but I didn't want to face Real Madrid so soon," Callejon said when he first heard the draw. "It'll be a special match.
"I have good memories of my time at Madrid."
The winger idolises Luis Figo and also prefers Cristiano Ronaldo over Lionel Messi, perhaps unsurprisingly given his allegiances and position.
"For me, Cristiano Ronaldo is the more complete player right now," he concluded. "I've always liked Luis Figo because he played in my position."
