The Spanish striker wants to lift the Copa del Rey trophy as they take on the challenge of Barcelona in the domestic cup competition’s finale.
Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona will lock their horns in the final of this year’s Copa del Rey. As the two giants meet each other at the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon, plenty of fireworks are expected as both clubs look to end the less than perfect season on a high note.
Barcelona saw their dominance in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 come to an end as they relinquished the bragging rights to arch-rivals, Real Madrid.
On the other hand, Los Leones come into the final fixture of 2011/12 season with the heartbreaking defeat in the UEFA Europa League final at the hands of Atletico Madrid.
Athletic Club’s striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gaizka-Toquero-c14388, took out time to talk about the Spanish domestic cup competition’s finale and opined that his team will have to play a perfect match to win against their Catalan rivals.
Toquero pointed towards Bilbao’s impressive performance against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 at the San Mames earlier in the season and claimed that their outing on that night should be their inspiration. He opined that if they can emulate their prior efforts only than do they give themselves a chance of lifting the title.
Continuing on the topic, he stated that the environment in the dressing room is calm and added that they have deserved their shot at the trophy and will give their best to emulate the success of their predecessors.
"Playing perfectly. The way we played in the league at San Mames should be a mirror for us," he said. "If we play like that we will have many options. We have to put a lot of pressure on them, run very much and hope that it’s not their day.”
“The team is doing good mentally. We are giving importance to every detail and we'll be very well prepared for the match.”
"We have no anxiety. We deserve to be here and we've worked hard to be here. We do not want to be remembered as the losing side, having already failed three times [in finals].”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Athletic-Club-c38535 have a rich history in the Copa del Rey and have lifted the trophy 23 times since its inception.
