• Copa.La Real takes the Bernabéu

The coach of the Royal Society, Imanol Alguacil, is not worried about the fatigue generated by the Copa del Rey dispute, with games during the week, and believes that his squad is very fresh to receive Athletic as "before a derby there there is fatigue, just the desire to play. "

"It has already happened on Thursday, but now the most important game is this Sunday and we need the help of our fans," said Sheriff at the Zubieta facility on Saturday, where he appeared to offer his impressions on the game of morning.

He acknowledged that he is aware that the team from San Sebastian "has generated a tremendous illusion" and said he is "excited" by the way in which the fans lived the qualifying round, with "people excited, crying, full bars", which means that "something they have achieved".

He has indicated that he understands that his followers continue to enjoy the historic victory at Santiago Bernabéu but he has already turned the page because he is aware that in the fight for European competition you can not live on income and demands a win against Athletic.

"It is good for the fan who does not talk about the derby and keep talking about the semifinals after eliminating Madrid, but the team and I are focused on tomorrow's match that is just as important as last year's tie," said Alguacil.

Wait for an Athletic who can play "with a five or four defense, he can make changes or not because they have a game on Wednesday or are accusing some effort last day against Barcelona, ​​but since we are not in the club we have to prepare the game having clear what we are going to do "he emphasized.

He missed the loss of the first round in San Mamés because "no two matches are the same." "It is very far and the conclusions that were to be drawn were drawn, but the Royal has now grown a lot because it is so young that everything that happens to it is to grow," he said.

He revealed that he has his staff available to make the call after players like Monreal or Martin Odegaard finished playing in the Cup.

"I have been without sleep for four days and I have lost five years of life from the suffering of the other day," joked an Imanol who wished that "hopefully tomorrow he loses another five years of life" if he wins Athletic.
