Los Blancos defender, Pepe, is reminding Barcelona that Real Madrid are not too far behind to catch up, and their chance of obtaining La Liga title has not diminished.
It has now been two losses in four matches. Real Madrid only have four points to their name after their first four matches, while arch-rivals and league table-toppers, Barcelona, have twelve.
Trailing by eight points, many believe that Real Madrid are not going to have any chances of retaining the Spanish League title.
However, Pepe is warning Barcelona to watch out, and has stated that Los Blancos are merely warming up and getting their feel for the season.
He also said that Real Madrid are not giving up, and even though it will be difficult, it would be of the highest honour to win the league wearing the White shirt.
“We will fight until the end. It is difficult to make up eight points, but we have to honour the shirt we wear,” said the Portuguese defender.
Pepe claimed that Real Madrid have been training harder than ever and that the team is extremely united, restating the determination they have and how they will not give up.
“The team have worked so hard, we are united and we will fight to win,” said http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670.
However, Real Madrid have to take a break from La Liga, which seems to be just what they need, for duties in the biggest continental championship in Europe, the UEFA Champions League.
Madrid are facing off Manchester City in the opening group stages match of the European competition.
With tough games coming up, one would think that Los Blancos are heading into the matches with their heads down and not expecting much. However, Pepe is confident that Los Blancos have not lost their touch.
If they can hold off City in the Champions League, Madrid should be able to bounce back into action, however, that is also what people said in the Spanish Super Cup match Madrid had against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
With team manager Jose Mourinho stating that he has not team and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 suffering from what many believe to be a bad case of depression through a lack of attention, Real Madrid need to pull up their socks and prove to the world, or at least Europe, who
they really are and why they boast such a successful history.
