David Albelda: Real Madrid at their peak of Mourinho era - La Liga news
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Albelda-c10417, has stated ahead of Saturday's match against Real Madrid at Mestalla that the capital club are at the peak of their prowess under Mourinho.
After an inauspicious start to the season, where they lost against Levante and were held to a goalless draw by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 Santander, Real have been performing at an exceptional level.
Los Blancos are at the top of the league with 28 points from 11 La Liga outings, and are on a run of ten consecutive wins in all competitions - their best under the Portuguese tactician. Their previous best was a run of 6 consecutive wins in all competitions
last season.
Albelda has stated that it will be a difficult match for Los Che as they welcome the Madrid firing squad. Real are on red hot form but the veteran defender knows that like everything else, the streak will come to an end and they have to approach the match
with optimism.
"One day the streak has to end and Valencia will play with the idea of that game and be competitive.
"Against Real Madrid one can get any result but you have to think you can get the win," he said.
Albelda said that Unai Emery’s charges can beat the Spanish giants, however, it will be a difficult proposition to fulfil. He praised the unity and chemistry between the whites and hailed their performances in La Liga and UEFA Champions League.
“They are a more settled and established team. They have known each other longer and have a more defined style. In the end the teams are measured as better or worse in terms of sporting achievement," he said.
The Che captain stated that they do not have revenge on their minds but are eager to compete against one of the best teams in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, in an important match that will have its repercussions at the end of the season.
"It's one more meeting of the League and the three points are as important as against another team. You have to look good," he concluded.
Valencia’s performance will be compared to their last year’s outing; Mourinho’s men ran rampant at the Mestalla, winning the tie 6-3. Higuain scored a well taken hat-trick while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 scored a brace. Brazilian attacker, Kaka, also found the score
sheet on that occasion.
For the hosts, Soldado scored the first goal against his old club, while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonas-c18967 added the others.
