Casillas and Canna to Realmadrid.com
Iker Casillas and Fabio Cannavaro believe it is essential for the team to win in Seville tomorrow.
Casillas
Every game is a final for us and the match against Sevilla tomorrow will be no exception. A negative result would make things easier for Barcelona if they win. Nothing would be lost mathematically if we lose tomorrow, but if that happens and Barça win, we would be practically waving the title goodbye. We have to be patient. The beautiful thing about this championship is that there is still room for susprises.
I think our calendar is more complicated than Barcelona’s; we have tougher opponents. There will be something at stake for every side that faces us. Our life will be at risk in Seville. This is the most complicated part of the campaign and we have notable absences on the team. I think it’s good for spectacle that a league is this exciting.
Cannavaro
The match against Sevilla will be very complicated. I’ve been in Madrid for two and a half years and I’ve never defeated them in Seville. We have to do it in order to put more pressure on Barcelona. It would be too hard to come back from a nine-point distance. The Clasico at home is the following week, but it is now important for us to win tomorrow. It is vital.
It is an exciting matchday because it pits the runner-up with the third team on the table, the leader with fourth. We must concentrate, be humble and work hard to achieve something important.
Just another Madridista
