Real Madrid assistant coach Aitor Karanka has stressed that Los Blancos are only focused on the game on hand and will only be concentrating on the three points at stake.
The Spaniard has emphasized that it is important for Real Madrid to concentrate solely on each match. He argued that the Spanish giants refuse to be affected by what is happening in the Spanish La Liga with other teams, especially Barcelona.
The Santiago Bernabeu outfit dropped two points over the weekend as they could only manage a draw against Malaga at home. Although they were the first team to score, the hosts were unable to maintain their lead and succumbed to a late equalizer by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-c23383
Pellegrini’s men.
Karim Benzema’s strike in the 35th minute provided Los Merengues with the initiative, but the Whites failed to capitalize on their lead as they conceded a goal in the dying moments of the game through a free-kick by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santi-Cazorla-c32505.
With Barcelona having won their match against Sevilla on Saturday, the stalemate against Malaga proved to be quite disadvantageous for the Spanish-capital based outfit. Their lead that stood at 10 points prior to the weekend’s results has now decreased to
8 points.
The retired defender claimed that Real are entirely focused on their next match and are ready to put Sunday’s disappointment behind them.
Los Vikingos are set to face Villarreal away from home on Wednesday and Karanka has emphasized that the clash is all the Madrid squad have on their minds at the moment.
According to Real Madrid’s official website, the assistant coach stated:
"We only count the three points at stake in each game. We don't know how Villarreal will be now that they have a new coach, but we're doing a good http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 and must keep it up. We'll work the same way regardless of having an eight or ten point lead."
"We have a specific way of working in this dressing room. People were already talking about early celebrations two months ago, but the coach warned a draw like Sunday's could happen. We're earning excellent numbers and have to continue working along the
same lines."
With 11 games left to play in the Liga BBVA this season, Real Madrid are trying to win their 32nd La Liga title in the history of Spanish football.
