Real Madrid defender Pepe is ready to once again compete in the safe zone and stop Lionel Messi's attacks.
On Wednesday, the capital team will clash weapons with a deadly adversary – a club led by the world's best footballer Messi in the King's Cup tournament.
Last season, Mourinho deployed Pepe in a somewhat unusual safe zone in an effort to dismantle the Catalan attacks. The Portuguese is ready to repeat this tactical plan, if necessary.
"Will I play in the midfield again? The coach knows what needs to be done. I am ready for anything," Pepe said. And he added: "Everyone knows my strengths and what I can do for the team. The decisions are made by the strategist."
The first clash will take place at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium in Madrid.
