Real Madrid playmaker Kaka is confident that the club can overturn their 4-0 defeat at the hands of Alcorcon in the second leg of their Copa del Rey clash on Tuesday evening.
Some sections of the Spanish press claimed Los Blancos's heavy loss to the provincial side was the worst in the club’s history, but the Brazilian is thankful that Madrid have another match to turn the tie on its head.
Kaka said this to the club’s official website, “For the pride and history of Real Madrid, we have to win this tie. We have improved since the first leg, and I am confident that turn the match around.”
In addition, the 27-year-old has called on the club’s supporters to get behind the players from the kick-off and help them to secure a place in the fifth round.
“Everyone around the club has to be very close; the public and the players. The Bernabeu must have a pressure cooker atmosphere.”
“The public have to be the twelfth player, and their support is crucial and very important to us.”
