The highly visual green and gold campaign aimed at highlighting opposition to the Glazer family received an unexpected publicity coup when David Beckham picked up one of the scarves and placed it around his neck before he made his way down the tunnel after Wednesday night's Champions League demolition of AC Milan.
Images were flashed round the world almost immediately, bringing instant recognition to the focal point of the protests, and a desire for more knowledge about the Red Knights group aiming to wrest control of the club.
The drip-feed of information from that section continued on Thursday when it was confirmed leading global investment bank Nomura will be advising the Red Knights about their prospective takeover bid.
Sources close to the Glazer family have continued to insist the club is not for sale, and they have no intention of off-loading, despite debts in excess of £700million.
It was a message reinforced by Gill as he was announcing a new five-year deal with Telekom Malaysia to become the 'Intergrated Telecommunications Partner' of the Old Trafford outfit.
"There are protests," said Gill. "Everyone has the right to protest and there was certainly a lot of green and gold there on Wednesday night, you cannot deny that.
"But this partnership demonstrates the strength of the club. It is a long-term partnership for five years.
"We will be around for the length of this five-year deal and many more in addition to that.
"We have a sound business model and Telekom Malaysia is partnering one of the best teams in world football. That will always be the case."
The sponsorship agreement is part of a new commercial strategy implemented by the Glazer family.
Instead of taking a global approach, United adopt a territorial stance, doing exclusive deals in specific areas to maximise income and make the most of an estimated 333 million supporters worldwide.
It was one of the facts the Glazers took into account when they launched their own takeover, which at the time even Gill felt involved too much debt.
Now though he feels the evidence points to a streamlined business model that, in the day-to-day running of the club, delivers huge profits.
"The owners thought we were doing very well on the commercial front but that there were other opportunities out there," he said.
"This is the insight they have brought in.
"It doesn't get much media coverage but the very fact they have come in and are able to do these deals benefits us. We can reinvest that money back into the team."
Gill's comments reinforce the view inside Old Trafford that the only reason the vast majority of the £80million received from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo remains unspent is due to Sir Alex Ferguson's reluctance to enter what he feels is an inflated transfer market.
The Manchester United Supporters Trust argue differently of course, although Ferguson is not about to spend big just to prove a point.
However, there could be a spin-off from United's latest deal.
"Manchester United created a lot of enthusiasm for football when they came on tour last summer," said Dato'Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa, chief executive of Telekom Malaysia.
"Over the course of this deal I would like to see some of the younger talents in Malaysia go to Manchester United to train and maybe the other way round.
"That will only help our country to progress."
For United it means a greater connection to the four million fans they are estimated to have in the country, whose passion was shown in the summer when 40,000 people attended a match in Kuala Lumpur at 48 hours notice following the cancellation of the Jakarta leg of their tour.

If The FA Do Nothing, What`s The Point...?
On average, thousands of referees quit football every year at because of the abuse they receive from players and from the sidelines...
In response, The FA's Respect programme provides a series of tools for leagues, clubs, coaches, referees, players and parents from grassroots to elite football to ensure a safe, positive environment in which to enjoy the game.
When the FA launched their Respect campaign, any right-thinking person could not criticise its aims, or believe that it didn't have the best of intentions.
The only criticism sensible commentators could and did have, was the hope that this wasn't merely a well-intentioned talking shop. That it would prove to be more than some nice slogans and TV adverts that made us stroke our chins and make approving 'Hmmmmm' noises.
The FA has had a number of ideal chances to show they are serious, to make an example of someone, if you will. And the latest came with Steven Gerrard's V-sign shenanigans against Wigan on Monday night.
Excuses have been made for Gerrard, largely along the lines of 'He was showing his passion', and the suggestion that Gerrard was signalling he had only committed two fouls is perfectly plausible. Plausible, that is, if it wasn't accompanied with the words 'F**k off' from England's vice-captain, words that didn't take a great deal of lip-reading skill to decipher.
Indeed, Rafa Benitez's explanation that he was simply 'moving his fingers' is up there with Gerard Houllier's assertion that Robbie Fowler was mocking Rigobert Song in the laughably implausible stakes
However, anyone with an ounce of objectivity knew what Gerrard was doing.
Take anyone who has no interest in football to a match and the chances are they will be shocked at the behaviour that is considered acceptable in a ground, when it would not be tolerated in the real world.
It's a clich? but kids really do emulate their heroes, which is one of a thousand reasons why players and fans alike should be encouraged to behave like respectable human beings at matches.
So by implicitly condoning abuse of referees the FA are dooming their pledge to help football 'from grassroots to elite' before they've really started.
It was with depressing predictability that the FA hid behind Andre Marriner's dismissal of the gesture, but in trying not to undermine the authority of one official, they have undermined the aims of an entirely laudable campaign. A campaign for which they are currently running a series of TV adverts, that one imagines did not come cheap.
Here was a perfect opportunity - a high profile figure, caught red-handed, doing exactly what 'Respect' preaches against, but the FA have done nothing.
Managers are routinely 'asked to explain' comments about referees when emotions are high, so why has Gerrard not even been invited to the shiny new offices at Wembley for a chat?
The FA have form in not punishing an England international in a World Cup year (the dent in Neil Lennon's face is evidence enough for that), but they must separate the national side with their role as a disciplinary body.
One might wonder why/despair that a campaign such as 'Respect' exists, but if the FA continue to do nothing even when presented with the clearest of cases, it has no hope of making any impact.

Benitez upbeat despite defeat
Eden Hazard's goal five minutes from time when his free-kick sailed over the Liverpool defence and past a static Jose Reina inside the far post just when it seemed the visitors had weathered the storm.
But it could have been far worse had substitute Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's shot not hit the post and gone wide late on.
Benitez had called for a reaction from his players following Monday's disappointing defeat to Wigan and he felt they had done that.
"It was an improvement from the last game. The players' reaction has been very positive," said Benitez.
"I am disappointed with the result but really pleased with the effort of the players. They were fantastic today.
"It was against a good team on a difficult pitch. The reaction has been good.
"I think Lille started really well. We knew they had pace - you can watch videos but until you see them on the pitch you don't see the pace they have.
"It was difficult to stop them but little by little we had more control.
"When we had that control and were going forward we conceded the goal."
Despite conceding plenty of possession to their opponents Liverpool could easily have been 2-0 up at half-time after Ryan Babel and Fernando Torres were both denied by Lille keeper Mickael Landreau.
Benitez admitted that those missed opportunities cost them and could have put a completely different perspective on the match.

Pompey receive administration boost
Pompey escaped being wound up after HMRC abandoned their claim that Pompey owner Balram Chainrai did not have the legal right to put the club into administration.
The cash-strapped south coast club were also encouraged by Pompey administrator Andrew Andronikou, who promised fans that no players will be moved on ahead of their FA Cup semi-final.
HMRC's decision to drop their case was just the boost Portsmouth had been looking for after slashing 85 Fratton Park jobs yesterday.
A spokesman for the club told Press Association Sport: "The Revenue has accepted the administration is valid."
But Portsmouth now face a nine-point deduction from the Barclays Premier League for entering into administration.
However, with their FA Cup semi-final against Fulham or Tottenham looming, Andronikou pledged no players will be leaving the club before the Wembley showdown.
Some members of manager Avram Grant's backroom staff were included in the staff cull, although none of them were high-profile.
Players cannot be made redundant due to protection afforded to them by the Professional Footballers' Association.
But the cancellation of loan agreements to save on wages is a consideration, with Pompey having six temporary signings on their books.
"Selling players is an option but first I need to broach the subject with the Premier League," said Andronikou. "I need their concession.
"As an alternative from looking at the Premier League advancing TV money, I suggested to them to possibly open the window to allow me to sell two players on a loan-back.
"It's one of those subjects we need to discuss further with the Premier League.
"However, I will not be looking to sell players before the semi-final and I will not be looking to cancel loan agreements before the semi-final.
"The minute I start tinkering with the football part it will be a big mistake. I can promise I will leave that until after the semi-final."
He added: "The players are very much protected by the PFA and unfortunately I am unable to make any cuts in the playing staff.
"They are very much the shop window of the club so instead I hope they can attract a buyer to this club."

Hamburg on top, Liege stun Greeks
Goals from Joris Mathijsen and Ruud van Nistelrooy put the Bundesliga side two up before Jonathan Legear curled home a glorious free-kick in first-half stoppage time for the Belgians.
But David Jarolim guided a volley into the bottom corner from the edge of the area in the 67th minute to restore Hamburg's two-goal advantage as they ran out 3-1 winners.
Wolfsburg have the upper hand in their tie with Rubin Kazan after drawing the first leg in Russia 1-1.
Zvjezdan Misimovic equalised in the 67th minute to cancel out Cristian Noboa's opener just before the half-hour mark.
Atletico Madrid and Sporting Lisbon drew 0-0 in the Spanish capital.
The visitors played for most of the game with 10 men following the 31st-minute sending off of Leandro Grimi for two yellow cards.
However, that wasn't their only disciplinary problem as they were reduced to nine in the 89th minute when Tonel received a straight red.
Standard Liege enjoyed perhaps the most impressive win of the night with a 3-1 success against Panathinaikos, who beat Roma in the last round, in Greece.
Goals from Axel Witsel and Milan Jovanovic put the Belgians two up in the opening 16 minutes.
Loukas Vyntra pulled one back three minutes after the break, but Igor De Camargo added a third for the visitors in the 74th minute and Pana's miserable night was complete when Simao was sent off in the 90th minute.
Second-half substitute Hatem Ben Arfa headed a 90th-minute away goal to earn Marseille a 1-1 draw at Benfica.
Ben Arfa, who came off the bench in the 74th minute, cancelled out Maxi Pereira's 77th-minute opener.
Juan Mata equalised for Valencia two minutes after they had been reduced to 10 men to earn a 1-1 draw at home to Werder Bremen.
Torsten Frings put the Germans ahead with a 25th-minute penalty and the visitors received another boost when Ever Banega was sent off 10 minutes after the break.
But Mata levelled to give the La Liga side hope going

Juve ease past Cottagers
Fulham were second best for most of the first half and found themselves 2-0 down thanks to goals from Nicola Legrottaglie and Jonathan Zebina.
A deflected goal from Dickson Etuhu gave the Cottagers an undeserved foothold in the game, but Trezeguet struck on the stroke of half-time to restore Juve's two-goal advantage.
Roy Hodgson's men tried to find another vital away goal in the second period, but the Italian side kept them at bay and will carry a significant advantage ahead of the second leg next week.
Hodgson handed Paul Konchesky his first start in almost two months in the place of cup-tied Nicky Shorey while Clint Dempsey, who picked up a serious knee injury in January, was a surprise inclusion on the substitutes' bench.
Alberto Zaccheroni made four changes to the Juventus side that beat Fiorentina last weekend, among them World Cup winners Fabio Cannavaro and Fabio Grosso.
Hodgson admitted before kick-off his side were playing one of the biggest matches in the club's history and they soon looked out of their depth against a fluent Juve side dripping with class.
The Old Lady, currently fifth in Serie A, began with a fluid passing game and Mark Schwarzer soon found his goal under attack when he reacted well to tip Trezeguet's goal-bound strike around his left hand post.

Liverpool Were The Week`s Big Winners
And This Is How...
It seems to have slipped by un-noticed but perhaps the real winners last night were Liverpool? Before you dismiss this as crazy talk and wonder out loud 'how can they be winners when they haven't even kicked a ball?' allow me to explain.
With Real's latest 'project' going belly up last night (yes, they've still got the chance of domestic champions but Real Madrid have always been about winning the biggest prize in Europe) the writing could be on the wall for their coach. It's been a fairly open secret that they want to win it again and there's a chap toiling away in L4 who has proven pretty handy in the European Cup. He's also a Real Madrid old boy so a nice link there.
Rafa would get his dream move. The growing band is dis-contented Liverpool supporters would get their wish. The club wouldn't have to buy out Rafa's contract by sacking him if he doesn't make 4th spot, indeed they'd maybe get some compo from Real. And it seems as if the players would be happy also.
Everyone's a winner (apart from Pellegrino, of course)!?

Have We Under-Rated The Prem?
With Arse's crushing victory over one of Portugal's top clubs and our easy humping of Milan, you can also see Chavski progressing against Inter which will make it three English clubs in the CL quarters. So why does everyone keep saying the standard in the Premiership has dropped this season, there is no logic to this Media-led argument?
It seems to stem from the fact that the big three have accumulated more losses in the league than normal at this stage. But this doesn't mean the league has become rubbish, just that it's become more competitive. Isn't this what we've all been waiting for for ages?
And if Barce had produced the same results as us or Arse, everyone would be rubbing themselves. Yet when English clubs succeed the media line is to dismiss the opponents such as Milan as being flat (I'm looking at you F365). Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they turn over Real Madrid on their patch earlier this year and are now closing in on a faltering Inter in Serie A? And don't Madrid lead the Liga from Barce, albeit on goal difference? Barce themselves struggled against Stuttgart while the rest of the CL line-up is not exactly fearsome e.g. Bordeaux, Olympiakos, CSKA Moscow etc.

Advantage Juve as Fulham falter
The Cottagers struggled for possession in the first half and went 2-0 down within 30 minutes thanks to goals from Nicola Legrottaglie and Jonathan Zebina.
Dickson Etuhu pulled one back but Roy Hodgson's men always looked second best and David Trezeguet's sharp third goal emphasised the gulf in class between the two sides.
Hodgson handed Paul Konchesky his first start in almost two months in the place of cup-tied Nicky Shorey while Clint Dempsey, who picked up a serious knee injury in January, was a surprise inclusion on the substitutes' bench.
Alberto Zaccheroni made four changes to the Juventus side that beat Fiorentina last weekend, among them World Cup winners Fabio Cannavaro and Fabio Grosso.
While the game represented arguably the most important in Fulham's history, home enthusiasm for the match was not quite on the same level.
The 28,000 capacity Stadio Olimpico di Torino only contained 11,406 people with around 1,100 of them being Fulham fans.
Hodgson admitted before kick-off his side were playing one of the biggest matches in the club's history and they soon looked out of their depth against a fluent Juve side dripping with class.
The Old Lady, currently fifth in Serie A, began with a fluid passing game and Mark Schwarzer soon found his goal under attack when he reacted well to tip Trezeguet's goal-bound strike around his left hand post.
The Australian was beaten seconds later though as Legrottaglie found his way through a packed penalty box to power a close range header past the keeper from the resulting corner.
Fulham could have levelled in the 16th minute but Simon Davies miskicked from eight yards out after an impressive run from Damien Duff down the right.
The Bianconeri continued to threaten the Cottagers' box and the front three of Antonio Candreva, Diego and Trezeguet were proving to be too much of a handful for the Fulham midfield, who struggled to get possession.
Fulham top scorer Bobby Zamora looked frustrated and isolated up front but he won the free-kick that put the Cottagers momentarily back in the tie.
Davies whipped a free-kick on the edge of the box after a foul on the former Spurs hitman and the ball fell to Etuhu who slotted the ball past an off-balance Alex Manninger via a deflection.
Sensing an equaliser, the travelling fans urged on Hodgson's men and Brede Hangeland and Zoltan Gera were guilty of firing close-range efforts straight at Manninger.
Schwarzer then had to pull off a fantastic one-handed save but Juve went 3-1 ahead when Trezeguet fired past the Fulham stopper on the stroke of half-time after his original shot smacked against the woodwork.
The second half started at a slow pace and Juventus stroked the ball about the pitch with ease.
Aaron Hughes, who was captaining the side in the absence of Danny Murphy, pulled off a crucial challenge on Trezeguet inside the box at the start of the second half as Juve looked for a fourth.
Zamora chose to plough the flanks in an effort to create chances but the two dangerous crosses he produced were thwarted by Italy centre half Legrottaglie.
Hodgson's side lacked creativity and the Fulham boss looked for fresh impetus from Dempsey, who came on for Davies to make his first appearance since hobbling off against Blackburn in January.
Trezeguet was given a rapturous reception by the home fans when he was replaced by Vincenzo Iaquinta.
A deliberate handball brought a booking for Legrottaglie and gave Fulham a free-kick from 20 yards out but Duff's curling cross was expertly cut out by Cannavaro.
Former Liverpool player Mohamed Sissoko replaced the solid Christian Poulsen in midfield with 15 minutes left.
Zamora won a corner for the Cottagers with eight minutes left but Jonathan Greening's dangerous cross was cut out by Iaquinta.
The former Manchester United man's frustration was clear as he received a booking for a needless foul on Candreva in the Juve half.
Claudio Marchisio, who was a doubt with illness, jinked inside the Fulham box but his shot was blocked.
Diego almost made it four but his 25-yard stinging strike was tipped wide by Schwarzer.
Dempsey fired Fulham's last meaningful effort wide to ensure that the first meeting between the two sides ended in a 3-1 defeat, leaving Hodgson's men with much work to do in the second leg next Thursday.

The former Manchester United man's frustration was clear as he received a booking for a needless foul on Candreva in the Juve half.
Claudio Marchisio, who was a doubt with illness, jinked inside the Fulham box but his shot was blocked.
Diego almost made it four but his 25-yard stinging strike was tipped wide by Schwarzer.
Dempsey fired Fulham's last meaningful effort wide to ensure that the first meeting between the two sides ended in a 3-1 defeat, leaving Hodgson's men with much work to do in the second leg next Thursday.
Advantage Juve as Fulham falter
The Cottagers struggled for possession in the first half and went 2-0 down within 30 minutes thanks to goals from Nicola Legrottaglie and Jonathan Zebina.
Dickson Etuhu pulled one back but Roy Hodgson's men always looked second best and David Trezeguet's sharp third goal emphasised the gulf in class between the two sides.
Hodgson handed Paul Konchesky his first start in almost two months in the place of cup-tied Nicky Shorey while Clint Dempsey, who picked up a serious knee injury in January, was a surprise inclusion on the substitutes' bench.
Alberto Zaccheroni made four changes to the Juventus side that beat Fiorentina last weekend, among them World Cup winners Fabio Cannavaro and Fabio Grosso.
While the game represented arguably the most important in Fulham's history, home enthusiasm for the match was not quite on the same level.
The 28,000 capacity Stadio Olimpico di Torino only contained 11,406 people with around 1,100 of them being Fulham fans.
Hodgson admitted before kick-off his side were playing one of the biggest matches in the club's history and they soon looked out of their depth against a fluent Juve side dripping with class.
The Old Lady, currently fifth in Serie A, began with a fluid passing game and Mark Schwarzer soon found his goal under attack when he reacted well to tip Trezeguet's goal-bound strike around his left hand post.
The Australian was beaten seconds later though as Legrottaglie found his way through a packed penalty box to power a close range header past the keeper from the resulting corner.
Fulham could have levelled in the 16th minute but Simon Davies miskicked from eight yards out after an impressive run from Damien Duff down the right.
The Bianconeri continued to threaten the Cottagers' box and the front three of Antonio Candreva, Diego and Trezeguet were proving to be too much of a handful for the Fulham midfield, who struggled to get possession.
Fulham top scorer Bobby Zamora looked frustrated and isolated up front but he won the free-kick that put the Cottagers momentarily back in the tie.
Davies whipped a free-kick on the edge of the box after a foul on the former Spurs hitman and the ball fell to Etuhu who slotted the ball past an off-balance Alex Manninger via a deflection.
Sensing an equaliser, the travelling fans urged on Hodgson's men and Brede Hangeland and Zoltan Gera were guilty of firing close-range efforts straight at Manninger.
Schwarzer then had to pull off a fantastic one-handed save but Juve went 3-1 ahead when Trezeguet fired past the Fulham stopper on the stroke of half-time after his original shot smacked against the woodwork.
The second half started at a slow pace and Juventus stroked the ball about the pitch with ease.
Aaron Hughes, who was captaining the side in the absence of Danny Murphy, pulled off a crucial challenge on Trezeguet inside the box at the start of the second half as Juve looked for a fourth.
Zamora chose to plough the flanks in an effort to create chances but the two dangerous crosses he produced were thwarted by Italy centre half Legrottaglie.
Hodgson's side lacked creativity and the Fulham boss looked for fresh impetus from Dempsey, who came on for Davies to make his first appearance since hobbling off against Blackburn in January.
Trezeguet was given a rapturous reception by the home fans when he was replaced by Vincenzo Iaquinta.
A deliberate handball brought a booking for Legrottaglie and gave Fulham a free-kick from 20 yards out but Duff's curling cross was expertly cut out by Cannavaro.

Rafa`s Reds hit a Hazard in Lille
Lille winger Eden Hazard's late goal inflicted a 1-0 defeat on Liverpool in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 clash in France. The visitors appeared to have survived a testing examination by Les Dogues only for Hazard, who had been a threat all night, to curl in an 85th-minute free-kick.
Despite being territorially dominated Liverpool had the best two chances with Ryan Babel shooting too close to Mickael Landreau and Fernando Torres' header being brilliantly saved by the goalkeeper in the first half.
However, the scoreline was no real surprise as The Mastiffs, as Lille are known, had scored in 20 of their previous 21 games at the Lille Metropole.
Their impressive record has seen them lose just once at home in Ligue 1 since the opening day of the season on August 9, with only one defeat in 17 home European fixtures.
For Liverpool - unbeaten in France since a 1-0 Champions League defeat to Monaco in November 2004 - it was the worst possible result coming so soon on the back of a woeful performance at Wigan on Monday.
Their difficult task was outlined to them in the first minute as Lille came out in no mood to admire their more illustrious opponents as Yohan Cabaye forced Jose Reina into a save within 38 seconds.
One of the most intriguing battles was between winger Hazard and Emiliano Insua, who was destroyed on a regular basis by Wigan's Charles N'Zogbia.
The 19-year-old Belgian struck an early blow by skipping past his opponent and drilling a cross through the six-yard area but no team-mate was close enough to take advantage.
Lille were more Arsenal than Wigan in their approach - despite their heavily-sanded patchy pitch - and passed the ball around with ease to often leave their opponents chasing shadows.
However, for all their possession they looked like they were missing top scorer Gervinho, the Ivorian who was sidelined by injury.
Bizarrely, Liverpool had the best two chances of the first half.
Babel should have given the visitors the lead in the 26th minute after a neat exchange with Torres but shot too close to Mickael Landreau and the goalkeeper deflected the effort with his legs.
Hazard was proving Lille's best outlet and his cross saw Pierre-Alain Frau deflect a shot over after being pressured by Jamie Carragher.
Gerrard responded with a dipping 35-yard strike just over Landreau's crossbar before, in the 41st minute, Landreau produced a brilliant low save to repel Torres' close-range header from Johnson's deep cross.
Hazard had the ball in the net soon after half-time but was flagged offside.
Liverpool at least began the second half better than they had the first and six minutes after the restart Lucas volleyed Torres' headed flick-on wide.
Lille, by contrast, had lost some of their attacking verve as they were drawn into a more attritional contest unsuited to their style.
On the hour Babel had a fierce shot parried away by Landreau, before Insua was booked for a foul on Hazard as he threatened to break away.
Five minutes later Reina allowed a long-range shot from Frau slip through his fingers but fortunately for the Liverpool goalkeeper it ballooned behind for a corner.
Torres was then booked for his persistent complaints to referee Claus Bo Larsen.
Cabaye drilled a dipping strike inches over Reina's crossbar before he was replaced by Stephane Dumont, with Albert Riera coming on for Babel with 17 minutes remaining.
Hazard went down in the area under Carragher's challenge with seven minutes to go but Larsen waved away protests.
However, a minute later the winger made sure when he curled in a free-kick which missed everyone in front of Reina, who could only watch as the ball crept into the far corner.
And it could have been far worse had substitute Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's shot not hit the post and gone wide.

Drogba wins African crown
The Ivory Coast striker was handed his award in a ceremony in Accra, as he was voted the continent's top player for 2009.
He held off competition from club team-mate Michael Essien, and also Inter Milan's Cameroon star Samuel Eto'o.
It is the second time in his career the 32-year-old has won the honour, with the previous success coming in 2006.
He helped his country through a convincing World Cup qualifying campaign in 2009, during which he netted five goals as the Ivorians finished unbeaten. Drogba also scored for Chelsea as they won the FA Cup final.
Drogba, who has hit 25 goals this season, is also thought to be a leading candidate for both the Footballer of the Year and PFA Player of the Year awards in England this year.
None of the three candidates travelled to Ghana's capital for the annual Confederation of African Football (CAF) awards, where World Cup-bound Algeria were named Team of the Year.

A "ferrari" overtook another "ferrari - this is Spanish international sports director on casillas jeroboam tied raul appearance record after said. In 2003, when raul represents a record breaking a Spanish again after jeroboam and took it to raul, "the nickname" ferrari. On Wednesday night, in Paris, France's st denis stadium, casillas first 102, representing Spain tied with the former captain raul's appearance record. Coincidentally, 10 years ago, on June 3, 2000, casillas first in this field is the galicians (Spanish game 1-1 draw with Sweden).
On international debut in two weeks ago, casillas represent real Madrid in the champions league final against valencia in the champions. At that time, was filled with joy and exciting casillas was a presentiment that Spain coach wonderfully he will probably in the euro 2000. "YiKeEr (casillas) soon in Spain, it could be because morientes, raul and my existence, because we are also real Madrid team-mate," he said, "but amazingly, he and raul, muir continuously break records as goalkeeper. 28, can have 102 caps for his country, and this is the record of the unusual."
"Give him a big wonderfully. He saw. He put the potential casillas iker casillas to euro, have no choice but to Tony. After he was observed, casillas with my training. Now the goalkeeper this sacrifice, but YiKeEr exception," said the former Spanish keeper Santiago canizares also. "He was very young, just completed a wonderful season, also help real Madrid won the champions league trophy. He trained very seriously, but not to attract attention. Then, but the captain was jeroboam began and raul into the locker room pep guardiola powerful groups," he recalled. Tennis star nadal is said: "casillas speed and flexibility astonished me."
At the first team in Spain in his iker casillas during training and HeLaDe inseparable, he has time to watch TV or playing games, he likes others called him "Marco Polo Marco (main)". Nowadays, the young man has replaced raul became captain of Spain. "I almost can't remember his first entered the Spanish team, but when he was elected the Spanish team at all levels, so we naturally will accept him," Spanish physiotherapist gutierrez (MiguelGutierrez) recalls. "As a captain, he has good affinity to own request. He very tall, and he and raul, not the manic," gutierrez said.
Raul on September 6, 2006 final representing Spain play. Spain in Belfast, 2-3 loss to the Northern Ireland. Since the defeat, then Spain coach luis aragones' decision by raul. According to media reports, the decision is actually in the 2006 World Cup has been simmering during the shape. At that time, his team-mate raul's innuendo damage the atmosphere in the dressing room. This, Santiago canizares retorted "in England, the atmosphere in the dressing room always good."
In Spain after winning European champions, someone will start around two captain. "Captain responsibilities have changed, compared with before, now the captain of the major responsibility in more. The captain raul, captain of the media should be responsible. Although captain of the team not only one, but almost all things in the first captain, from bonus question to personal problems are so. Those little contact with the people raul do so because they themselves, and not because they now alienated raul. Don't take so much responsibility captain, so can play a good game, basically," said canizares.
"In Spanish, raul experienced a renewal. But this is all very naturally occurs," Spanish football training base of an officer said. "As a captain, casillas very good communication for many things. He is very clear, because he liked to ask. Everyone has their own behaviour and Harvey. Iker casillas has a special relationship, because both of them have been teenagers national team. They met with carles puyol or villa - both are the national team heavyweights - together with decision. As the captain, raul is more serious, casillas he used to hide in the heart, the pressure from his eyes can see. But is much more relaxed iker casillas, of course, this is not to say that his responsibility than raul. From mannered, they are both good," the officer said.
Responsible for Spain in the trip to England's iker casillas raul and process is familiar. He said: "I still remember 1996 raul in the first hand clement against Czech appearances of Spanish representatives. He was very active, always asked many questions. After that, you would have noticed his step by step in the team is on the rise, because the meeting and decision-making process, you can see him. I would like to say that I have to raul and casillas without any complaints. In the team, raul and travel are very concerned about the journey iker casillas, but they all aspects of our trust is, after all, we work together for a long time."
Currently Spain goalkeeper amelia women football team coach (Amieiro Evans is iker casillas) when I started out at real Madrid coach. He said: "casillas talked technically, with the increasing of experience, he's more stronger. Just 17 years old, he is a piece of diamond to carve. Now he has matured. On the pitch, as captain, he is also the good example to others rather than casillas career. The point is wear the captain's armband in 2002, rather than the champions league final, he was on the bench to make good saves a lot."
"2002 World Cup in Japan, I hurt himself during the training, casillas therefore become England goalkeeper. I have to accept this, because in the final of the champions league, casillas confidence after canizares," said. "I knew at real Madrid is a guy. I iker casillas saw he was once in the party, I noticed that he has a lot of, clear oneself as captain obligations. He and raul, have one thing in common: they handle problems are very serious attitude," real Madrid legend SangJi said

England's World Cup squad remained remember predict becks will be selected Owen: 0
In England and Egypt seen after the game, as Britain's chief football journalist, oliver kiah's mind is the England squad for the 23, he and his colleagues this Smith qanda way, a detailed explanation of the reasons of 23 people.
The first question is: who is the biggest beneficiaries of victory yesterday evening? Kiah answered: "Peter crouch and shaun can be regarded as the biggest beneficiaries of victory at night time. In fact, Peter crouch appearances for England, he can score, look, I think he has determined on the list with his position. But the problem is he who is starting with Emile heskey Emile heskey goals, there may be as big, but Peter crouch threat will make the whole team Emile heskey's move is more outstanding, he can take other teammates easily into the game. But Peter crouch appearance, will become the focus of attack, will weaken the other players feel the movement. So I think in the plan B, Peter crouch is the striker, rather than A plan."
Kathleen go about wright-phillips, he said: "it's not just scoring goals, he is in the way of running before defence, and the ability to pass, attracted me to capello. The importance of shaun wright-phillips, it may be in theo walcott, but I'm not sure under this, because you have to assume capello kill David Beckham, also want to play right wing starts, so Aaron lennon, each team will have a game between direct competition, after last night after the game, shaun wright-phillips and walcott into the list of the probability of 50%."
The second problem is: "green kept the entire 90 minutes, it shows that fabio capello will be his World Cup goalkeeper?" Kiah answered: "last August capello said he knew who was goalkeeper, we all know that what he said is James, but the problem is he at Portsmouth this season, is always difficult. The green injury that kept the game, the coach fabio capello must not consider as a door to hart, but in green and James between a trade-off. I like green, but he isn't a world-class keeper, if a man such as zinedine zidane, you never think he one-on-one can save the ball green. So a healthy body, and status of James, at least, is the recovery of my first choice."
According to the World Cup squad Settings, three goalkeepers are the most appropriate setting, kay spoke three choices in said: "I think is the hart. He also may consider foster, although look choose a club's third-choice keeper, as England's third goalkeeper is really some make."
This go ask defender configuration, Kathleen and spoke first, he said: "and played 90 minutes, but to be fair, he played well, but it is the integration of the back four and have relations, so don't blame him. He is in the game, if he can improve the left-back as the World Cup, I am glad 2. But the problem is not with fabio capello will second left-back. Because he can depend on location changeful milner and lescott, which can save a right-back to midfield and attack."
Talking to another person, kay said: "although brown, but he could have weaknesses in one of the biggest clubs in the world in playing right-back so many years, this shows that he is not used to playing in the middle. Brown, he will also can trust in the team EPuSen. In addition, he will also get tickets is the biggest advantage. Though he hardly hurt and Rio Ferdinand/terry and considerable gap than in the centre-half. Another option is lescott, if he can play in Manchester, perhaps he also can become the first team, but now he's starting position in EPuSen under".
This asked, "who will stand in midfield line?" Kiah answered: "gerrard and frank lampard and Michael carrick, Barry affirmation finalists will also go to the game, because he can bring a different things, and another fabio capello is very like professional and diversity are very prominent milner. If the World Cup, I think tomorrow -- into the list, David Beckham has the right of first start, the most suitable or lennon. Shaun wright-phillips and walcott front has said."
In the few person status as, kay said: "capello specially to see Joe cole RACES, Joe play is good, but if he can have access to Chelsea start, if have good play, or may have access to large list, only then downing maybe even better than Joe. Owen hargreaves has no long-term injury, because despite parker at west ham's performance is very good, but the choice list for him it is a kind of hurt."
Finally the configuration options. Kiah said: "Wayne rooney and Peter crouch, jermain Defoe and Emile heskey almost certainly have four position. The striker fabio capello, depending on whether his stay a position to strike. Now I think Carlton cole would be lucky, because capello like a big ahead. Agbonlahor and darren bent in sprint, may also shouldn't ignore Owen's existence, if he is from now on until the end of the season, can give fabio capello, from a practical perspective, may have his position."
Finally is oliver kiah's prediction.
Goalkeeper: green, James hart (foster),
Guard: glen Johnson, Rio Ferdinand, EPuSen, John terry, lescott, ASHLEY cole, brown
Midfielder frank lampard, Steven gerrard, Barry, and Michael carrick, Beckham, lennon, James milner
Striker Wayne rooney, Emile heskey, Peter crouch, jermain Defoe
Wild riders (choose two) : byrne, warnock, walcott, shaun wright-phillips, Carlton cole, agbonlahor, Joe cole
The first question is: who is the biggest beneficiaries of victory yesterday evening? Kiah answered: "Peter crouch and shaun can be regarded as the biggest beneficiaries of victory at night time. In fact, Peter crouch appearances for England, he can score, look, I think he has determined on the list with his position. But the problem is he who is starting with Emile heskey Emile heskey goals, there may be as big, but Peter crouch threat will make the whole team Emile heskey's move is more outstanding, he can take other teammates easily into the game. But Peter crouch appearance, will become the focus of attack, will weaken the other players feel the movement. So I think in the plan B, Peter crouch is the striker, rather than A plan."

I like green, but he isn't a world-class keeper, if a man such as zinedine zidane, you never think he one-on-one can save the ball green. So a healthy body, and status of James, at least, is the recovery of my first choice."
According to the World Cup squad Settings, three goalkeepers are the most appropriate setting, kay spoke three choices in said: "I think is the hart. He also may consider foster, although look choose a club's third-choice keeper, as England's third goalkeeper is really some make."
This go ask defender configuration, Kathleen and spoke first, he said: "and played 90 minutes, but to be fair, he played well, but it is the integration of the back four and have relations, so don't blame him. He is in the game, if he can improve the left-back as the World Cup, I am glad 2. But the problem is not with fabio capello will second left-back. Because he can depend on location changeful milner and lescott, which can save a right-back to midfield and attack."
Talking to another person, kay said: "although brown, but he could have weaknesses in one of the biggest clubs in the world in playing right-back so many years, this shows that he is not used to playing in the middle. Brown, he will also can trust in the team EPuSen. In addition, he will also get tickets is the biggest advantage. Though he hardly hurt and Rio Ferdinand/terry and considerable gap than in the centre-half. Another option is lescott, if he can play in Manchester, perhaps he also can become the first team, but now he's starting position in EPuSen under".
This asked, "who will stand in midfield line?" Kiah answered: "gerrard and frank lampard and Michael carrick, Barry affirmation finalists will also go to the game, because he can bring a different things, and another fabio capello is very like professional and diversity are very prominent milner. If the World Cup, I think tomorrow -- into the list, David Beckham has the right of first start, the most suitable or lennon. Shaun wright-phillips and walcott front has said."
In the few person status as, kay said: "capello specially to see Joe cole RACES, Joe play is good, but if he can have access to Chelsea start, if have good play, or may have access to large list, only then downing maybe even better than Joe. Owen hargreaves has no long-term injury, because despite parker at west ham's performance is very good, but the choice list for him it is a kind of hurt."
Finally the configuration options. Kiah said: "Wayne rooney and Peter crouch, jermain Defoe and Emile heskey almost certainly have four position. The striker fabio capello, depending on whether his stay a position to strike. Now I think Carlton cole would be lucky, because capello like a big ahead. Agbonlahor and darren bent in sprint, may also shouldn't ignore Owen's existence, if he is from now on until the end of the season, can give fabio capello, from a practical perspective, may have his position."
Finally is oliver kiah's prediction.
