Real Madrid playmaker Kaka is calling on the fans to make the Bernabeu a "pressure cooker" for Tuesday's visit of Alcorcon in the second leg of the fourth round Copa del Rey clash.

The Segunda B minnows lead 4-0 from the first leg and coach Juan Antonio Anquela  rested a number of players in their 1-1 draw away to Cacereno as they head to the Bernabeu looking to pull off one of the greatest ever shocks in Spanish football.

"Everyone has to be very close: the public and players. The Bernabeu has to be a pressure cooker. They have to be the 12th man for us," the Brazilian told the club's official website, realmadrid.com.

Kaka did not play for Los Merengues in the humiliating first leg hammering almost a fortnight ago but is likely to feature on Tuesday as Pellegrini's men look to overturn the four goal deficit and Kaka believes it is an important game in the history of the club.

"For pride and history of Real Madrid, we have to win this tie," he declared.
