Gelsenkirchen's "Schalke" forward Sidney Samas claims that his team-mates are not afraid of Madrid's "Real" club and promise to surprise the European champions.
Today the quarter-final matches of the UEFA Champions League begin, and tomorrow the players of "Schalke" and "Real" will test each other's strength. Last season, the "royal" club defeated the Germans with an overall score of 9-2.
"Madrid's 'Real' has many world-class stars, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, or Karim Benzema," - mentioned S. Samas about the particularly threatening "white" lineup.
"However, if we defend compactly, I believe that we can make it difficult for any team in the world every minute. We also have great players, and I am confident that we have opportunities in this quarter-final."
"This is a new season, a different situation, and I believe that this time we are a more stable team. The most important thing is that the fans believe in us, and we believe in ourselves," added the 27-year-old footballer.
