ARGENTINE midfielder Esteban Cambiasso has had a superb 2002, but is looking for even more success with Real Madrid in 2003.
The youngster had a successful loan spell with River Plate, winning the Torneo Clausura, lifted the Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup with Real, and also got married.
He has been out of the Real team in recent weeks, but is ready to hit top form in January after shaking off a bout of tendinitis in his knee.
"Nearly everything has been positive for me during 2002," he said. "I won my first title in Argentina with River Plate, then I came to Real Madrid and won the Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup.
"Adding to this I have played many minutes in La Liga and if this wasn''''''''''''''''t enough I got married."
Cambiasso has foregone a honeymoon, having got married on December 27, in order to prepare for a busy few months with Real.
He added: "When I went to Argentina I knew perfectly well that I had to go back to Spain immediately and that there wasn''''''''''''''''t any time for the honeymoon.
"We have to keep on seeking to reach the objectives that we spoke about in June."
Real play Sevilla in a rearranged Liga match on Thursday, and Cambiasso feels three points could be the catalyst to a title challenge.
"If we get the three points in that match, nobody else will be able to do it and we will be nearer the first position," he said. Sitting on the bench does not seem to worry the youngster, who added: "The most important thing is that the team keeps on playing in the best way possible.
"It doesn''''''''''''''''t matter the names of the players that go onto the pitch, even if I don''''''''''''''''t have the chance to play I will be supporting my team-mates from the bench."
On his own fitness and prospects of playing for Argentina, Cambiasso said: "I am 100 percentnow. The tendinitis in my knee does not bother me any more.
"I am not desperate (to play for Argentina) but, whenever there is a call-up, you have hopes to be in. It is up to the coach to assess your performance, so the only thing I can do is play my best with my club so that I can get another chance."
Titles appear to be driving Cambiasso on, asked for a wish for 2003, he added: "Trying to win the three competitions we will be playing for.
"We are on the right track now and I think we have many chances to achieve everything, though we are aware this is a very difficult goal to reach. The only sure thing is that we have hopes."

坎比亚索渴望欢腾的一年
阿根廷中场埃斯特班·坎比亚索拥有一个极其美妙的2002年;但他正在为了皇马2003年更大的成功而努力着。
这颗新星在阿根廷河床俱乐部赢得了联赛冠军,在皇马得到了超级杯和丰田杯,而且还结婚了。在最近几周,他游离于皇马队伍之外,但是在膝上痊愈后将努力达到自己的最佳状态。
“对我来说这一年几乎每一件事情都是美好的。我拿到了自己第一个联赛冠军,还有丰田杯和超级杯,另外在皇马日明星赛中出场,然后用结婚仪式画下一个完美句号。”
但是坎比亚索没有蜜月了,他12月27日结婚后立刻赶回了西班牙为1月的联赛做准备。
他继续说:“当我回阿根廷之前,我就知道我没有蜜月了。重要的是我们要做到我们六月为球迷承诺的事情。”
星期四皇马对阵塞维亚,坎比亚索认为三分可能是对榜首挑战的催化剂。
“如果我们拿到三分,没有人会像我们一样逼近榜首位置。”
这个正在坐板凳的年轻人看上去并不焦躁:“重要的是全队保持良好状态。”他说。
“这问题不大,即使我没有上场机会我也会在板凳上给队友加油。”
在关于为阿根廷比赛的问题上,坎比亚索说:“我已经100%准备好了,膝伤不会给我带来麻烦的。一旦主教练叫我,我一定毫不考虑并且排除一切困难加入到队伍中去。我知道主教练在注意着我的表现,所以我现在能做的就是尽自己最大努力在皇马好好踢球以赢得入选国家队的机会。”
冠军头衔在召唤着坎比亚索,在充满希望的2003年。
“我们的目标是三个冠军。我们正在正确的轨道上稳步前进,用很大的机会梦想成真。虽然三冠王并不是一个轻松的目标,但是我们拥有希望却是确定无疑的。”
