The Elche CF coach, Pablo Machín, went through the press room ahead of tomorrow’s match against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu starting at 9:00 p.m. The people from Elche brilliantly beat Villarreal 3-1 last league matchday but they are aware of the difficulty involved in assaulting the white coliseum. “Any draw at the Bernabéu can be seen as good, if this tie occurs in a team from the lower zone, then even more and if the one that has to achieve it is a team like us, it must always be valued. It would be a sign of that we are a competitive team, even if we only scored one point it would add much more to the team’s morale and it would be a sign that we are working well”, Machín said. Along the same lines, the Soriano coach has warned that Elche will have to do everything right to have opportunities and that Ancelotti’s men are not well. “We have to be super supportive, try to make them not play comfortable, be effective on the few occasions that we have and be forceful in our areas, we also depend on how they are and that they do not have their best day”, he explained.-Editorial-
