Real Madrid Medical staff believes Pepe will short the time to recover.

Pepe wants to recover quickly and, therefore, makes specific work about 40 hours per week.

The defender returned to training so conditioned to January 7, after having been operated in Porto, to a ligament injury in his right knee, during the game with Valencia, the 14th round of the Spanish Liga.

"I must continue with the same mentality, one time or another I'm sad, but it's normal," Pepe said in an interview with the Spanish club channel.

 During recovery practice , his colleagues visited him regularly and are one of the reasons that led him to train with more will and determination: "I work very hard to be with my teammates and get back playing as soon as possible."

Whatever happens, Pepe expressed great desire to play the final of Champions League at the Bernabeu, as well as to represent Portugal at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa "He has great desire and will. If he keeps the same spirit, will shorten the time needed for recovery, " said Real Madrid doctors.
