Vicente Moreno: ‘We have to be as motivated as them’

The manager spoke to the assembled press ahead of our Copa del Rey clash with Zamora CF

Vicente Moreno says his starting XI must match Zamora CF’s tenacity ahead of our second-round clash with the Trecera División side.

We travel to the Estadio Ruta de la Plata Zamora CF having beat El Alamo with a goal right at the death, and the boss believes RCD Mallorca will have to be at their best.

“We have to have the same motivation as them,” he told the assembled press at his pre-match press conference. “The reward is the same for both of us: pass through to the next round. If we don’t have that desire, they will punish us.

"The cup is normally held during the week, but it’s different now. We have to prepare like it was an away game in La Liga, we’re going to go motivated. “We will put out the best starting XI, if you don’t know the opposition then they can surprise the numbers, the difference in divisions, do things well with good players and have a manager who is doing things very well. They have a team and a manager that are able to be in the division above. “
