🤩 Carlos Vicente confident in Alavés' chances against Madrid | OneFootball

Alavés player Carlos Vicente analyzed the current state of the team and, in particular, the imminent league clash against Real Madrid at home, a match that presents itself as a great opportunity. Despite their position in the table, Vicente highlighted the team’s morale and their belief that they can achieve a good result against one of the best clubs in the world.

“It’s one of the best clubs in the world and in the league,” Vicente said about their opponent. The footballer described the match as “one of those games you dream of playing since you were a child,” considering it a “huge motivation” and a “reward for a lot of hard work.” This sense of excitement permeates the dressing room, which is preparing with the firm conviction of causing an upset at Mendizorroza.

Regarding the keys to overcoming the Madrid side, who arrive with some inconsistency after a recent defeat, the Alavés attacker was clear: “be very solid at the back so they have few chances, and be clinical up front.” He emphasized the need to be 100% focused, as these opponents “rarely forgive.” He also pointed out Mbappé as the player standing out above the rest at Real Madrid, hoping that on Sunday he won’t have his best day.

At a team level, Carlos Vicente gave a positive assessment, despite it being a “tough and complicated” season. He stressed that, with a bit more luck, they would deserve to have more points, but he expressed satisfaction with his evaluation of the squad: “The feeling is different from other years.” Therefore, the goal is to keep adding points to consolidate themselves in the upper-mid part of the table, without forgetting that “every match is a battle.”

Finally, the player did not hold back in praising the Alavés supporters, whom he considers unique and special. For the match against Madrid, he doesn’t need to ask anything extra from them, as their consistency and dedication are admirable. The connection with the fans is so strong that “people feel they belong to something bigger than just a football team,” which is a vital factor in facing these great challenges.
