Celta Vigo midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonathan-c18993 Vila, has come out and said that his teammates are not thinking about their clash with Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey.
Celta will welcome the defending champions, Real Madrid, at home on Wednesday. However, they have a Primera Division match with Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
That is the reason why Vila said his side cannot just think about the clash with Madrid. He knows the importance of their game with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 Bielsa’s men and that is what they have to focus on right now.
Sunday’s match with Athletic Bilbao will be a tricky one for the Galicians. The Basque-based club has been struggling since the start of the season. They are in dire need of good results in the league.
The midfielder stated that no one is thinking about the Copa del Rey clash with Los Blancos. At the moment they have their eyes on Bilbao.
“Nobody is talking in the locker room about Madrid,” the 26-year-old told reporters earlier today. “Because we are all aware of the importance of winning in Bilbao to ward off a direct rival.”
The Spaniard who sometimes plays as a defender commented on the aerial threat posed by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aritz-Aduriz-c6516.
The 26-year-old is surely aware of the dangers posed by the duo and said that it will be a demanding game for his side.
“They are two players who always complicate the lives of defences. Strong and great in the air. It will be a very demanding game.”
Vila has a great admiration for San Mames and wants to display a great performance for his side at the historical stadium.
The defensive-midfielder continued and said that all he wants to do now is to improve his football and contribute more to his childhood club.
“But I really want to continue demonstrating what I can do. I have to take advantage of every opportunity and keep improving, and what better way to do that than at San Mames, with all that venue means for Spanish football.”
Currently both teams have accumulated the same number of points as they are locked on the 14th and 15th positions respectively.
The Galicians are just ahead thanks to their superior goal difference.
