Tchouameni: "El Clásico is going to be a great battle against a good team"

MADRID, 14 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The French midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni was excited about the possibility of experiencing this Sunday "a special game" like the Clasico against FC Barcelona, ​​in which he expects "a great battle against a good team", while the Brazilian defender Eder Militao recalled that it is a duel "where anything can happen".

"I am very happy to play my first Clasico at the Bernabéu with our fans. It is a special match, the most important in the world and both teams want to win, but we are going to try and do everything to achieve it," Tchouameni told the official media of the club in statements published this Friday.

The international expects "a great battle against a good team." "We have to do everything and show our quality to win because we are Real Madrid and we don't want to lose any games. We have good feelings and we want to continue like this", he underlined.

Tchouameni stressed that Carlo Ancelotti "is dedicated" to the team. "As the coach told us, we have to train the same as last week or the next," said the midfielder, whose "first memory" of a Clásico is "the celebration of Cristiano Ronaldo asking for calm when scoring at the Camp Nou".

For his part, defender Eder Militao believes that "you always have to be prepared and engaged because it's a very special match." "Anything can happen in the Clásico, but the team is prepared. We've started the season very well and we're all involved and committed to this match," he said.

The Brazilian remarked that Ancelotti asks him to "score goals" as happened against Getafe when he has "the opportunity", while on a defensive level he pointed out that "you don't have to suffer because that way you are closer to winning".

"In defence, we always work with loyalty and respect for our teammates. It doesn't matter whether Nacho, Militao, Rüdiger or Alaba plays, we are well covered and we are going to do our best to win games", he concluded.
