“We have to go with the mindset of scoring and earning points in order to achieve our objective of permanency as soon as possible. We are all aware of the dimension of Real Madrid, I hope the fans fill the stadium and we’ll do our job on the pitch and try to score. It’ll be difficult, but we have proved we’re a tough team to beat, particularly at home. The key is hard work, humility and all sticking together.”
Study of the rival
“We know that the coach and his team study the rivals a great deal. It’s a big motivation competing against teams like this (Real Madrid) and I think each of us needs to do our job well, knowing we’ll have our opportunities which we can hopefully convert into goals.”

“Everyone know how the rival plays - the problem is how to stop them. We’re working on their strong and weak points, as these teams also have their weaknesses. Therefore, we need to work on these weak points in order to counteract them.”
Maximum motivation
“The most difficult thing for a coach is playing at a cold ground where nobody goes, and he has to motivate his players. However, when playing against rivals like this, everyone is motivated to the max, knowing that everybody is watching. It’s an important showcase, the players give their all so it’s much easier for the coach.”
