Real Madrid defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670 wary of talented Villarreal – La Liga News
Real Madrid defender Pepe has stressed on his teammates to be wary of Villarreal. The Portuguese believes that Villarreal will be hungry when they visit Santiago Bernabéu after their defeat against Levante (0-3) and that have a workforce of quality.
He said that the Yellow Submarine will come and fight hard to get a result on the night, believing that it will be a heated encounter and fans will thoroughly enjoy the ensuing battle.
"Hopefully we can score lots of goals and suffer as little as possible. Villarreal are very touched, but have very good players and after losing 0-3 they will come to fight hard, fight and not surrender," Pepe gave his opinion in an interview with bwin.com.
The stopper cautioned that they cannot leave space against an opposition of pedigree and should take the match with prudence.
Highlighting the dangers of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giuseppe-Rossi-c15027, he stated that neglecting him in the match will be a mistake that might prove costly.
Pepe said that even though the striker is not performing at his level best, he is one of those players who can create something out of nothing and they should be wary of his potential.
He also highlighted Villarreal keeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Lopez, whom they will be up against on the night. According to the Portuguese player, he is "one of the best goalkeepers in the league” and breaching his defences will be a daunting task.
Nevertheless, the Maceio-born player is looking for another win against their beleaguered opponents, to continue their rich vein of form, which has seen them concede only one goal in their last five games.
The defender stated that the backline has been helped out by the attackers, which allows them to keep clean sheets against worthy opponents.
He also acknowledged the work of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350.
"We have a very strong workforce and our forwards are the best and we are the best team in the world. I hope they continue like this and we can win many titles."
The 28-year-old is happy with the way Los Blancos are playing and wants them to continue in the same fashion. He likes the way players fight for each other and this has helped them in the long run.
Real Madrid will travel to San Mames after the match against Villarreal to lock horns with Real Sociedad. The defender rejected claims that Los Vikingos are playing against weakened oppositions and reaffirmed that they do not take any opposition easily.
