Real Madrid El Classico Interview

Some of the Real Madrid boys had some things to say about the upcoming El Classico.

Sergio Ramos

"The match comes at a very important time this season. There is hardly any difference between us and Barcelona and the slightest mistake could kill both our chances to win the title. We are very excited about the match. I believe it could be decisive."

"We must be strong, use the speed of our wingers in attack, keep posession and make as few mistakes as possible, especially when defending"

"Barcelona have a style of their own. It dosent matter who plays because the whole squad has the same philiosophy. We'll have to have a clear idea of what it is we must do and play how Pellegrini wants us to"

"Leo Messi always performs at a high level. He makes a difference"

Guti

"It will be an important match. We fear no one. Barcelona are doing a good job, but we have sufficient weapons to help us defeat them"

"I only think about victory. We will be very motivated because we know how much is at stake for us. We will have to concentrate hard because Barcelona are a great apponent. It wont be easy"

"We could have won the first leg of the matchat Camp Nou. It is now time for us to defeat them at the Bernabeu"

"I think we can do it. We are strong home and we will have the support of our fans. We have players who are capable of scoring at any given time"

Iker

"The Classico will be a great game, but it wont be decisive. Three very important points will be at stake and our goal is to win the match. The winner's position on the table will be strengthened, but the league is still far from over. Other teams we will face are fighting for particular objectives"

"We hardly concede any goals because we all help out. Everyonr is invloved in defending set pieces. Our quality in attack can guarantee us to win games as long as we dont concede any strikes"

"Kaka wants to help the team. The team will benefit if he's in good form. He is angry because he hasn't performed as he wished, but we are delighted with him because he is a team worker who sets a great example. We want him to recover as soon as possible"

"Barcelona's Xavi is a great player and his team benifits from his skill with the ball. Valdes is a very good goalkeeper. He is doing well on his team"
