The Ivorian midfielder voiced his belief that Espanyol do not fear Real Madrid and can triumph over the current La Liga leaders, in their next league fixture.
In a top of the table clash, Real Madrid take on the challenge of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mauricio-c24899 Pochettino’s charges in front of home supporters, at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Los Parquets have punched above their waists in the current La Liga season and find themselves two points adrift of UEFA Champions League qualification.
Earlier in the season, the Catalan outfit managed to hold reigning Spanish champions, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, to a hard fought 1-1 draw, at the Cornella El-Prat. Now, Mauricio Pochettino’s men are looking forward to an even a better result, as they face the challenge
of the league leaders, Real Madrid.
Ahead of the match, on-loan Sevilla player Romaric spoke about the winning mentality of the Catalan club and how they want to get a positive result in the Spanish capital.
While playing for Sevilla, Romaric earned a victory against Los Blancos with a sublime goal at the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramon-c30533 Sanchez Pizjuan. The Ivorian star now hopes that Espanyol can register a memorable win with his help.
"I won at the time with Sevilla and I think we can win. It was nice but complicated, with intensity. We come here without fear, we are convinced to do so. We will be faithful to our philosophy against a big team and hope to play a normal game."
Espanyol have seen their form dwindle over the course of the season, managing a paltry 10 points from their last eight matches. Despite the fact that Los Parakeets last win came four fixtures ago, the African midfielder refused to indulge in talks
about crisis at the club.
Romaric stated that winning every match is not possible and reflected that the squad is calm and composed ahead of their fixture against Real Madrid.
"To me there is no problem and we're calm. There is no crisis.”
Talking about his future, the Ivory Coast international stated that he is focused on his current responsibilities and has left the other details to his agent.
"I am focused on training and play well, the rest is between the two clubs and my agent."
Real Madrid have a 10-point lead at the top of La Liga standings and welcome the 8th-placed club to the Santiago Bernabeu, on March 4th.
