Emery Insists Valencia Are Motivated To Beat Madrid


Valencia will face Real Madrid in the return leg of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday, having won the first leg of the tie 3-2 at the Mestalla last weekend.
Unai Emery insists that his players "have maintained a good attitude, and have been increasing the intensity of their training sessions" in the days leading up to the decisive match.
According to the coach, in the first leg the work ethic of the team was "very high" and he wants to "repeat this to begin the season on a high note."
But he is still cautious, and expects the match at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid to be "different because they are playing at their own stadium, and they will be backed by their fans, who will ask a lot from them," he affirmed. "Everyone is working and I hope everyone feels important," he added.
Emery insists that his "intention is to stay with 22 or 23 players in the squad" and he repeated "everyone is working and I want everyone to feel important" inside of the squad.
