Important week: “We continue working as always. And we work the opposite, knowing that they are teams that have a wide range of options to compete. We think we have a way of playing that we are going to impose there and we hope to get the most out of it. You face the best players in the category both in attack and defense. We will try to make them uncomfortable”.
Low: “So much Marcos Mauro as Iza They are the only casualties we have. No one will be able to play tomorrow ”.
You can get something positiveor: “We are convinced in our work, as always. We will see our weapons. I think Madrid can be beaten, but not being better than them. Without being better than them you can win. We will see tomorrow how they play and how we plan it from the beginning. We have a chance of winning, yes, but it will depend on the game that Madrid has”.
Delusion: “It has a part A and B. If you play against Madrid it means that you are in the place you wanted, but as a coach you know that most things are not controlled, they control them. Must play. We have possibilities and we are going to make the most of them ”.
Play without an audience and at the Di Stéfano: “Everything is very equal now. The problem is that there is a lot of team difference. Teams that don't play with their audience notice it. The fact that there is no public equals much more, and those arreones that some teams have with the public disappear and the opposite can be taken advantage of. For us there is a lot of difference between playing at Valdebebas or at the Bernabéu. Playing at the Bernabéu sometimes makes stage fright appear. I imagine Madrid will miss playing in their stadium. I don't know if it matches, but something gives us that it is not played at the Bernabéu ””.
Stop Madrid: “Today, we don't know who is going to play. Vinicius can leave on the left, Isco with a changed leg. Jovic from above. We do not know. If you thought they were good before, when you play these games you realize how good they are. We don't know who will play. We are going to try to force Real Madrid to do what they don't like to do. Individually it is very difficult because they are the best ”.
Rival's positive streak: “The streaks don't last forever, at some point they have to be broken. I hope we are lucky enough to break it ourselves. The top teams have these things, that when they find their moment they do not give the opposite possibilities and, when they are not quite well, they win the games because they are very good. They come from national teams, they have Champions, then Barça comes to them and I don't know if it is something that can benefit us. They have a lot of quality. For me, the great virtue is that they attack with a lot because they are capable of defending with few. We are going to look for our moment, our specific plays and take advantage of that, if we can ”.
Long way: “Before we started training, we talked about the number of players who have made this journey with us and we are proud. It seems that we are going to finish something tomorrow, but tomorrow is one more step. It is an award, but it is part of our work. I would have liked it to have been at the Bernabéu, full of people, that Cádiz had been received with affection as it is received throughout Spain. All this does not mean that we will go tomorrow to seek victory ”.
Market valuation: “I am delighted with the squad I have and I train. Surely it can be improved, like all, but I am delighted with the ones I have, because they have fixed ideas and are working well. There have been cases that I would have liked to have been different ”.
Sergio Gonzalez: “I have met him several times. It is one of the cases that could have been done better, by all. He's not in the best situation, but we've all been wrong at some point. He is paying for the situation, he has always had a good face and disposition. You have to try to fix it in some way.
