Atletico Madrid’s Diego plans on shocking Real Madrid on Saturday
Real Madrid will be hosting Atletico Madrid on Saturday. It is going to be a very important match for both the sides. While Atletico Madrid are trying to recover from a dip in form, Real Madrid will be playing in order to keep the top
spot on the points table.
The former Juventus midfielder, Diego, totally understands how Madrid are currently the favourites to win not only this game but in fact, the Spanish La Liga. However, despite Real Madrid being the stronger side, Diego believes that his
side can surprise Jose Mourinho’s men by taking the game to them.
Diego accepts the fact how Real Madrid are the favourites to win the derby game but he still wants to surprise Los Blancos with a wonderful performance. He has said that his side really wants to win the game against Madrid. However, the
stats speak for themselves and Atletico Madrid haven’t won at the Santiago Bernabeu for the past twelve seasons.
Atletico Madrid have only won four of their twelve games this season. Despite such a poor record, they definitely possess the talent to beat a team like Real Madrid. The striker Falcao might not feature due to his injury but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 still
wants to surprise Madrid by beating them at the Santiago Bernabeu.
He said:
"It would be a surprise to win at the Bernabeu. We have to play a perfect game there and respect Madrid as they deserve it.”
He also said that his team will have to take the chances they get in Bernabeu. He was quoted saying:
"But we want to show our qualities and take advantage of the chances we create. We have to work very hard to do this.
The game would be quite difficult to win for Atletico Madrid since Real Madrid are even stronger this season and beating them in their home ground is a task even Josep Guardiola would find difficult. He said:
"It will be a special game against them as they are very strong and in great form. Derbies are always very intense, but it is great to play in them."
Real Madrid will play against Atletico Madrid on Saturday and both the teams are going to try and grab at least a point from the game.
