MADRID, 27 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The defender of Real Valladolid Sergio Escudero assured this Tuesday that it will be "complicated to catch clueless" to Real Madrid, a rival that visits them this Friday in the restart of LaLiga Santander 2022-2023 and from which they must avoid being able to "run comfortably".

"Getting Real Madrid clueless seems quite complicated to me. I think they have a full squad and we know they are top-level players and it's going to be a very difficult game. with everything," Escudero said at a press conference.

In addition, the blanquivioleta footballer does not believe that the fact that his internationals have not had a good World Cup "They are players with a lot of experience and I think they know how to differentiate the moment of the World Cup from that of their clubs and they will come with the League chip and psyched up" , he remarked.

The full-back acknowledged that they must be "very intense" and "not lose" their identity. "We have to try to do our thing and have the ball, which is what we like. We have to try so that they don't run because they have very fast and high-quality people," he warned.

Regarding which Real Madrid player he would like not to play, the man from Valladolid confessed that "it is very complicated". "They're all very good, but I think it's either Kroos or Modric because the whole game practically goes through them and they're the ones who organize everything, but it's always nice to play against a whole team like Real Madrid and their players," he added.

"In the end, all the teams have their strengths and weaknesses. We have been correcting most of the possibilities for the defense because they are very vertical, they make you run a lot to the back and we will have to try to cut those plays and prevent them from running comfortably", Escudero reiterated.

The full-back admitted that after the league break for the World Cup they are "in a different situation", but that in the dressing room they are already "very eager" for LaLiga Santander to resume. "And on top of that against the rival that we have, we are very excited and with a lot of desire," he said.

"I hope it happens again in not a long time," he said.
