Real Zaragoza manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manolo-c23349 Jimenez is aiming a major blow on Madrid’s La Liga aspirations.
The Spaniard admitted that there is a big difference in quality between the two sides, he still feels that his side still has a great chance of winning the game if they approach the game positively.
"We are in the same league, but there is a gulf between the two sides, "If we play thinking we're going to get beat it will be a waste of time; I will not send my team out to lose.
With a goal difference of -19 and 12 points in 19 La Liga games, Zaragoza could be in for a hammering against the league leaders. However, Jimenez is adamant that his players will not let Real Madrid roll them over.
"We are aware that it is a very difficult game, but the the goal is to try to be competitive. Anything other than a defeat would be a surprise because it is first against last.
"What I have to try to do is to convince my team that we will be facing a tough opponent, but we can overcome them,"
Zaragoza's recovery can be seen through their performance against Levante, where they held them to a stalemate last week.
Madrid will be facing Zaragoza after playing a gruelling El Clasico. Los Blancos only drew the game and were knocked out of the Copa del Rey but their performance was simply phenomenal against the Spanish Champions.
After being knocked out of the Copa del Rey, Jose Mourinho’s side would be looking to strengthen their lead on top of La Liga. Currently, Real Madrid five points ahead of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. Another win would certainly go a long way in assuring Madrid of finally
ending Barcelona’s domestic dominance.
