Real Madrid’s Aitor Karanka praises his team’s attacking instincts against Villarreal – La Liga news
Real Madrid’s assistant coach, Aitor Karanka, has hailed his side after registering a convincing win over Villarreal. Both sides met on Sunday, May 15, at El Madrigal. Los Blancos won by a 3-1 margin courtesy some http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-c9622 inspiration yet again.
He also praised his team’s attacking instincts and urged them to continue in the same vein of form when they go out in their last game against the already relegated UD Almeria.
Jose Mourinho’s assistant was pleased to see his team’s fighting spirit in spite of the title being already decided in favour of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. The 37-year-old confirmed that this performance would enable his team to go a long way, when the Whites take the field
again for the upcoming 2011/12 season.
He further added, “The three goals we scored tonight make us the top scoring side in the championship,” Karanka told the press after the game on Sunday. There were three points at stake for us that weren't really going to affect the standings, but there
were other motivational factors for us in the game, such as Cristiano Ronaldo's chance to equal an historic record.”
The assistant was all praise for his winger, who equalled the La Liga record previously created by former Real striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-c16384 Sanchez, in the 1989/90. The former Manchester United man has scored 38 goals from 33 League games so far.
He also applauded the efforts of his opposite number, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-Garrido-c8443, who has had a decent managerial campaign, enabling his side to book their berth in next year’s UEFA Champions League.
He praised the way Villarreal fought against his formidable line-up and congratulated them on making their way into the next year’s Champions League.
Karanka concluded by saying, "Frankly, Villarreal have had a very good season. They've qualified for the Champions League thanks to their quality players. They made us suffer at the Bernabeu with their excellent football. They once again proved to be a great
side tonight."
Real Madrid are second in La Liga with 89 points and will wrap up their campaign against Almeria on Saturday, May 21, at the Bernabeu.
