在范尼严重受伤,皇马前场极度缺人的情况下,官方立即启动引援方案,媒体也把焦点集中在了法国的本泽马和荷兰的亨特拉尔身上.最终,今天凌晨,皇马确认并宣布了范尼最终的替身,荷兰小将亨特拉尔(Klaas-Jan Huntelaar).
也许是其他荷兰人在来到皇马后兢兢业业的表现,让卡尔德隆和舒斯特尔都非常欣赏这个国家的球员,而外号称为"猎手"的亨特拉尔也并不比本泽马逊色多少,更重要的是,他可以很容易的融入到皇马这个荷兰人聚居地,还可以参加余下的冠军杯赛程.
消息称,亨特拉尔将于1月份正式加盟,看来皇马和球迷必须继续保持紧张的心态,下个月才能缓口气.
官方页面:Real Madrid land the highly sought after striker

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is officially Real Madrid's newest player. The Dutch striker is a prolific goal scorer and can easily be considered your classic '9'. "The Hunter" is the eighth Dutchman to join the ranks of Real Madrid.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (Voor-Drempt, 1983) now belongs to Real Madrid. The Dutch 25-year old leaves Ajax for the Spanish capital and will be sorely missed in Amsterdam. Nicknamed "The Hunter" because of his scoring ability, Huntelaar has averaged 20 goals a season throughout his professional career. Last year he became the first Ajax player to exceed 30 since 1986/87. Three ways to describe the striker are opportunist, powerful aerial game, and insatiable thirst for scoring.
His positioning and wit near the opponent's goal have played a key role in his scoring ability. He is always in the right place at the right time to capitalize. At 6'1" (185 cm), Huntelaar's best skill however is his aerial game.
The striker is also extremely talented at playing with his back towards the goal and is versatile enough to serve as pivot-man for attacking midfielders. Equally skilled with both feet, Huntelaar possesses a powerful strike and is a set-piece specialist.
The Hunter has scored 136 goals in 192 matches, and as an international has found the back of the net on ten occasions in 18 caps. He has twice been the top scorer of the Eredivise with 33 goals in each campaign.
He made his top flight debut with PSV Eindhoven on 23 November 2002 at the age of 19 after scoring 26 goals in 23 matches for the youth team. Huntelaar then played on loan for De Graafschap followed by AGOVV Apeldoorn. Heerenveen then signed him one season later before Ajax scooped him up in 2005.
