Real Madrid is already in Valencia
“There are few tournaments more attractive than the Copa; I want to reach Sunday and lift the trophy,” said Sergio Llull.
Real Madrid is already in Valencia to compete in the Copa del Rey, which will take place from the 19th to the 22nd at the Roig Arena. After their final training session this afternoon at the pavilion of the Ciudad Real Madrid, the madridista delegation departed on the AVE train from the Madrid-Atocha-Almudena Grandes station to the capital of Turia. Once there, the players headed to the Primus Valencia hotel, where they will stay during their participation in the tournament.
Sergio Llull addressed the media at the team’s hotel: “The team is in good shape, with great enthusiasm and excitement for such a special tournament as the Copa, which is decided in four days. The key is to focus on tomorrow’s game against Unicaja, we can’t think beyond that. We know it’s going to be a very tough game against a great opponent, and we’ll have to do things very well and try to use our experience to advance to the semifinals.”
“There are few tournaments more attractive than the Copa on an almost global level. The fact that everything is condensed into four days, where you can win a title in four days, and the fans gather in one city makes it a special tournament. I’ve been lucky enough to play it several times.”
Second game in four days against Unicaja
“As long as the result doesn’t change, which went well for us, we’ll take it: finishing with a win and advancing to the semifinals. The other day, we had a pretty bad first half, also credit to Unicaja, who were sharp and played their strengths well. Tomorrow we expect a completely different game, and we need to stay very focused for the full 40 minutes to win.”
Possibility of becoming the all-time top scorer in the Copa
“In the end, the individual numbers are there because I’ve been lucky enough to play many Copas del Rey with Real Madrid, the club that has allowed me to enjoy this tournament year after year. For me, individual records or stats don’t matter; what I want is to reach Sunday and lift that trophy to achieve my eighth personal title and add another for Real Madrid.”
