“We are going to go for it all”, This is the message he launches Mikel
Ubarrechena, vice-president of Real, regarding the tie against Manchester United in the Europa League. “It's going to be very difficult for them too, I'm sure.” He was one of the toughest possible rivals, a historic European, champion of the Champions League and the Premier. All this does not worry the Real manager because “We have players with experience in the Premier, such as Silva, Merino or MonrealThey have done very well there ”.
Ubarrechena understands that the meeting “will be competitive and difficult for both.” However, he asserts that “we face it with enthusiasm and desire to do something great and for this we have to beat teams like Manchester”.
Given the level that Real is giving, first in the Spanish League, nobody is satisfied with falling with dignity against United. “We come to continue and teams like this emerge along the way, with a record that scares, but we face it with courage and enthusiasm,” he says Ubarrechena. The vice-president of the Real remembers when the txuri urdin squad faced them in the Champions League seven years ago, with a defeat at Old Trafford (1-0) and a draw at Anoeta (0-0) and the copera experience, in which the Real brought down Madrid in February.
For all this, Ubarrechena, concludes that “we are optimistic, within what is possible”. And that, in anything, “they are parties that create epic and give name”.
