Madrid's "Real" coach Julen Lopetegui is dealing with thoughts of a possible dismissal.
According to the press, the Spanish unable to steer the royal club feels backed into a corner - the strategist who lost the "El Clasico" match will most likely become unemployed.
"I hope that after the match in Barcelona, I will still be breathing. I do not expect to die.
I will try to help my team - that's my job.
In matches of this level, there are always opportunities to achieve victory. Of course, you need to play well, set yourself up emotionally and psychologically. I am focused on the match - I will need to attack well and defend confidently," Lopetegui said.
The Spanish continued: "I know what will happen on the field. Of course, the team is missing the injured Carvajal, it's good that Marcelo has recovered. Isco's situation will be clarified before the match.
The team believes in me, and I believe in the players. We want to please our fans and we must put on a good performance. We are ready."
