  Confident Real delighted with Arsenal match-up

  By Simon Baskett
  
  MADRID, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Real Madrid were in confident mood after being paired with Arsenal in the last 16 of the Champions League on Friday.
  
  The nine-times European champions believe Arsenal's lack of experience in the final stages of the competition and their open style of play make them ideal opponents in the first knockout round.
  
  "We are satisfied with the draw," Real's director of football Arrigo Sacchi told the club's website. "It's obvious that any of the five teams we could have drawn would have been hard, because they all finished top of their groups.
  
  "But we are up against the side with the least experience in Europe and that could show."
  
  Real, who were knocked out by Juventus in the first knockout stage last season, host the Londoners at the Bernabeu in the first competitive European meeting between the two clubs on Feb. 21 and play the return at Highbury on March 8.
  
  "They have the advantage of playing the second leg at Highbury, but if we can beat them two or three nil here it won't be such an advantage."
  
  Centre back Ivan Helguera said Arsenal's style suited Real better than some of the other teams in the draw.
  
  "Every team in the draw is tough and I would be lying to say that playing Arsenal will be easy," he said.

  Let Pires play in the centre of the midfield. He likes it there too.

  We need someone on the right..Fabregas can't play there.
  
  I'm all for a radical line-up of Toure behind a flat three of Hleb, Ljungberg and Pires
  
  or
  
  Toure Campbell Senderos Lauren
  
  Hleb,Fabregas,Pires
  
  Bergkamp
  
  Henry Van Persie

  He's got the same potential, look at his play, dynamic and all-rounded, in fact, he was a striker as a youth player.
  
  Toure has the energy to go from box to box...hmm maybe Wenger is thinking of converting Toure into a DM, and getting a defender only.
