“I think we have the chance to create danger for Madrid. We have players who see the spaces, who can play very well in one-on-ones. Like Willie Orban, a wonderful defender. If we’re just trying to protect ourselves, “it may not work. Sevilla tried. It was pretty close, but he lost. We’re going to try to attack. It’s up to us, to our self-esteem. Madrid will put us under pressure and we will be able to impose our football. Dani Olmo will be very vital in that regard.
Asked about the keys to beating Los Blancos, Rose told Diario AS that timing and speed are the keys to the match.
“We have to solve the ball with personality, impose our rhythm. . . You have to do everything at the right time. Press at the right time. And all this at the highest level. We probably wouldn’t replace the team’s play much. There may not be any major replacements. There will be times when we want to focus on defense. We’ll have to play our best. We’ll try. “
One of the most important facets of Real Madrid’s good luck in Europe has been Luka Modric and Toni Kroos’ ability to substitute the speed of matches.
