QOTD: Raul Albiol On His Nickname
“They gave it to me in Valencia, I suppose it is affectionate! (smiles) Ayala and Baraja said it’s because I was long, like a Longaniza.”
–Raul Albiol on why he has been gifted with the nickname, “El Chori”.
And on that note, it’s time for a little cooked meat 101.
El Chori is short for sausage. It’s basically a smaller version of a Chorizo. (Note – this is still pretty big in size.) A Longaniza is a sausage too.
If you need more visual inspiration than we have been able to provide, try this.
Also: don’t spoil our fun by saying that he’s referring to his body type. Don’t you dare.
Double also: does this look like a Chorizo or a Longaniza to you? For experts only.

And they can't call him "El Chorizo" because it also means "The thief" LOL
Hi! Apparently (real madrid's website) Raul Albiol and wife welcomed a second daughter (Alma) on the 07th of this month.
Yeah, kickette has sending news via twitter
Valencia would need him :S….but i can forgive him, if i see this photo
…how can’t I xD?<3
I’ve had a shit day and this just made it better! This is hilarious!
Albiol is my Miguel replacement… Too bad his sausage is no longer on the meat market.
HAHAHAHAHA YOU MADE ME BURST OUT LAUGHING AT WORK AND NOW PEOPLE THINK I'M CRAZY!
(I apologize for my fangirlism all-caps.)
Omg. I cannot stop giggling. Good work, Kickette!
I can't see him without remembering that Christmas outtakes video. "Ni ni ni ni!" But either way… LOL.
I know!! Me too!! I lu you Raul. why did you leave Valencia?
*luv, my bad
I heard about this before and i didn’t wanted to know the meaning behind… XD
About his wife, or her bump is because a recent birth or they didn’t waste any time LOL
Even Sheva needs a closer look to decide. Obviously not a sausage connoisseur.
Ooo Albi… is that a promise?
Looking good there Mr Sausage, I approve
i am going to resist any comments on the choriço
ahahaha, he's long like a sausage!!!
*dies laughing* people sometimes 
I have one big question is that girl is his girlfriend or sister? cause there's huge debate about this….
a. His wife has delivery baby girl in August (yeah around end of 2009)
b. Marca reported Albiol, Arbeola and Alonso spouse are pregnant

Kickette help…..please answer my question
It's his girlfriend, and she's def pregnant. http://www.kickette.com/files/2010/01/jan6wifey.j…
This might just be me being REALLY picky, but I don’t think that looks like his gf. Either pregnancy has seriously changed her, or it’s not her.

But yeah, might just be me being picky. I remember being really confused about it when the pics first came out because I’m almost sure they’re not the same girl.
And Azahara was born in March ’09 actually, towards the middle.
Now, I'm very confused!
I am also confused! Where is her fringe? Cheek bones are similar, hard to see her eyes, and she might have dyes her hair. Oh I don't know…
Hahahaha! Kickette, you always make my day!!!
I'm no expert in sausages but I'd say Longaniza just coz I know Chorizo is a little more reddish than that. And considering his skin tone…
