FC Barcelona v Real Madrid Preview
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho
“The Clasico is obviously an important match because we will play against a direct opponent; the points we may end up taking will be points dropped by them. Nevertheless, whatever happens tomorrow, 25 league games will still remain. I expect a beautiful game in which players help the referee and true football takes centre stage”
“We won’t change our working methods for Barcelona or any other team. We have the same respect for all our opponents. Barcelona may be better than other teams in La Liga, but we have the same respect for all and we always have to look for their weakest points.”
“The Clasico isn’t won by the team that’s in better form or having a better run. The motivation for these games is different. It’s hard for me to say I’m the favourite to win because I’m in a better position. I don’t see it that way. My experience in derbies and classic games tells me otherwise. I don’t have the same adrenaline rush I get in a Champions League knockout stage, in which failing to win implies you’ll watch the next game at home on the TV.”
“My team is psychologically strong enough to lose tomorrow and continue having faith in itself and winning games without getting overexcited. A championship demands of you to play at the highest level for ten months. I don’t want our self esteem to change if we win or lose tomorrow. I will remain calm after the match whatever happens.”
“The difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona and the other teams in La Liga is such because the former two are playing very well and proving to be superior to their opponents. The rest are also quality teams; we’ve drawn a game and Barcelona even lost one. This proves how difficult it is to win a competition with the likes of Atletico Madrid and Villarreal. The number of points we both currently have means we are in good form.”
