The Levante coach, Paco Lopez, explained this Friday that in the game tomorrow Saturday in Valdebebas He awaits the best version of Real Madrid and admitted that it will be a “very demanding and very tough” duel regardless of the rival's casualties.
“Madrid continues to choose and has options in the two most important titles they are playing. I expect an ambitious Madrid, ”said Paco López at the post-match press conference.
“We know that to get something out of these fields you have to do things very well, make mistakes a little or less than usual and then, from there, try to play with your weapons,” added the Valencian coach.
Paco Lopez downplayed the fact of playing in Valdebebas and not in el Santiago Bernabéu and detailed what his team's plan is to face this game.
“We know that the normal thing is that they have the ball and that they have to suffer, get together a lot and be in solidarity. And with the ball try to be daring, brave and try to hurt them. Show at least our DNA, ”he explained.
The Levante coach commented that Real Madrid already demonstrated against Alavés in Vitoria last day that when “they are comfortable and secure, they are precise” and that they must be “close to minimize their potential.”
Paco Lopez He assumed that this demanding game comes at a tight moment in the calendar, having played the Copa del Rey during the week. “It is what there is, it is what we have to do and we have to go with all the enthusiasm, which we do not lack,” he remarked.
In addition, the Valencian coach said that if they were able to improve in defense they would be “fighting for the Champions League”, but admitted that they must insist on that facet of the game.
“We would like to be just as effective in one area and in the other, we want perfection and we seek it. It is our workhorse. As well as the season they threw us a lot, this year is being almost the opposite, but we continue fitting, “he acknowledged.
