Real Madrid Fans |
In the club know that they need the most boisterous version of its fans. The game started at the press conference after the match against Hercules. Mourinho spoke of Real Madrid's people: "With people at the Bernabeu would be easier. The fans must decide whether to play or watch the game. We will be much stronger if we play with twelve".Jorge Valdano, in the VIP area of the stadium, agreed with the Portuguese: "We are very confident in our team and the power of our stadium. Together we will be able to move forward".
Iker Casillas, captain, knows what the Bernabeu Stadium feels in these night. The guardian of the gates of heaven warns: "The best moment I remember from the Champions League was a Real Madrid-Bayern in which we had to overcome a 2-1. The crowd went wild to support the team". Casillas, better than anyone, knows the support of the fans in life or death nights, on nights of the European Cup: "We know the Champions atmosphere is different, we need the public who lives these parties differently. People have to help us and, together, we will be in the quarter-finals".
Xabi Alonso who supports the cuff in the dressing room but does not carry in the field, was also clear: "We will play the most important match of the season and we would like the Bernabeu presses because it is very important". Granero, all his life in the Real Madrid, enjoyed these games in the stands and now he will play on the field: "We hope that the Stadium will be filled, hot and all the fans will come to animate. The stadium has to be one player". Even Adebayor, the last to arrive said: "The Bernabeu has to be the twelfth player. Everyone, as a team, will earn the qualification".
The club's official website has launched an awareness campaign to Real Madrid fans. The players, Iker Casillas, Xabi, Benzema and Cristiano, proclaim: "You do not have to see this game, you have to play". Real Madrid will play against Lyon and team can play with one more. The stadium will be transformed in the territory in which it forged its legend. Against the French, Real Madrid will have divine help.
