"This team needs to put all its effort into turning this around"
Realmadrid.com
Raul Gonzalez insisted that the team will do everything in its power to turn around the Copa del Rey tie against Alcorcon.
“I think we need to put ourselves in Madridistas' shoes today. We apologize. The image we showed tonight isn't what this club and its history deserves. We are sorry, but this tie isn't lost.” “This team must remain strong, and on such a disappointing day we need to look at the positive. We did the worst we could do today, so as of tomorrow we can only continue working. People want to see us win, so it is in our hands and depends on us.” “This is football. We played a hyped up team who played well and put us in our place. We need to accept it. We know what path not to take and showed that today.” “If there is a club capable of turning this around it is Real Madrid. We will not give up. We play each other again in two weeks, when we have a chance to remedy the situation. In four days we play Getafe. It is a long road and we are capable of traversing it.” “I have experienced elimination from the Cup and other adverse results, but the historic turn-arounds in the history of Real Madrid are due to bad matches in important competitions. I congratulate Alcorcon because they played great. It is big day for them, but there is another match to be played and we must do everything we can to turn this around. We all win and lose, which is why we are all responsible.”
