Cabrera, 'sheriff' parakeet: “You cannot play with fear of Madrid”

Of the surprising victory of Sheriff Moldovan before him Real Madrid on the Champions to the press conference of the 'sheriff' of the defense of the Spanish, Leandro Cabrera, who already has between eyebrows to stop the white team on Sunday at the RCDE Stadium as he was about to achieve against the Atlético de Madrid (Lemar scored 1-2 in the 99th minute). “You cannot play with fear of Real Madrid or of anyone,” warned the Uruguayan, one of the most intoned players at the start of the season.

“I am feeling very good, the demand is greater and perhaps unconsciously I must be more concentrated. Defensively we are doing well, although with nuances. We have to keep improving”said Cabrera, who recognizes that the team needs to improve “in the areas” and that sometimes “details” have failed that Vicente Moreno's team has paid too dearly. That happened against Sevilla (2-0) or Atlético (1-2), even against Villarreal (0-0): three games in which there was a good level but with little loot.

“Every game touches a demanding and difficult opponent and Real Madrid is no exception. We are preparing everything very well. We are confident,” underlined the former Getafe player, who observes a Real Madrid similar to that of previous campaigns: “Madrid is always prepared to win everything and they play at the highest level. This year is no different than others. It has quality, it has offensive arguments and it always reinvents itself. We have to be serious. If we do things well, we will have a chance to win, “he reflected.

Cabrera, demanding with the team, who appeals “to the shield”, is clear that the team must “defend as high up as possible.” A mission that will not be easy for the Blue and Whites, who usually live near the goal of Diego Lopez. “You do not have to raffle the ball. And when Madrid submits you we must be together and sacrifice”, he argued, asking for “concentration” throughout the match: “Counterattacks or quick plays must be aborted,” said Sheriff Perico.
