Galacticos to spend more time on the sidelines - Camacho

Real Madrid's "galacticos" will have to get used to spending more time on the bench this season according to coach Jose Antonio Camacho.

"In every game there will be one or two players who think they are going to play but won't because others will be doing their job well and will have earned their place in the side," Camacho told Spanish sports daily Marca on Wednesday.

"During the course of the season, though, there will be plenty of chances and there will be a role for everyone in the team."

Camacho said he was not upset by the club's decision to recruit English striker Michael Owen when he had called for reinforcements in defence, but made it clear that he expected his request to be met before the beginning of the season.

"Football is now a very different game," he said. "Real Madrid have a policy of trying to make a world-wide impact so they sign players to achieve that aim."

"I'm convinced that the team has certain gaps that need to be filled and we are looking to do that, but it is not as easy as it seems."

"I don't mind waiting though and I'm sure we'll sign another player before the league season begins."

Inter Milan and Italy defender Fabio Cannavaro is reported to top Real's list of potential new recruits, but the club have also been linked with Argentine centre back Fabricio Coloccini who is owned by AC Milan.

Real's opening Primera League match is at Real Mallorca on August 29.
