"I see favourite to the Real Madrid in the Classical against the Barça"

The one who went assistant of José Mourinho in the Real Madrid, Aitor Karanka, has conceded an interview to 'MD' in which it has valued the Classical of this Saturday in Santiago Bernabéu, that promises strong emotions. "I see favourite to the Real Madrid because it plays home and, for me, this always awards you some advantage. Besides, the distance in the classification will do that the Madrid have to go out to by the party", ensures.

For Karanka, this is the best of the Barça of Valverde: "The capacity of desequilibrar by means of the individual quality of his more advanced players, what does that his effectiveness scorer was, in percentages, much higher that the one of the Real Madrid. It needs to generate fewer occasions to materialise more goals that the whites".

And this is the worst of the culés, according to his point of view: "True unfit defensive that manifest in the transition attack-defence, regarding the adjust of the offensive surveillances, what generates them evident defensive disequilibriums". 

"When there is greatness or titles at stake, the Real Madrid gives a jump forward"

On the Real Madrid, stands out "the capacity to have and hide the balloon without, apparently, need it like indispensable requirement, and the offensive speed of his counterattacks. Also the entrance of players of bench, that have resolved him a lot of parties".

And the less well this season of the Real Madrid, according to him, are "the problems that comes suffering in the two areas, something that finish affecting to his continuity and game, giving sometimes too many eases to his opponents".

Karanka, in any case, wait to the best Real Madrid possible against the Barça. "I expect to the Real Madrid of the big appointments. Historically it seems that to the white club costs him do coexist his greatness in the most important days with the continuity that demands the day in day out. Therefore the of the past year was an exception. His improvement in the World-wide of Clubs, for example, seems me very significant. When there is greatness or titles, gives a jump forward".

The Barça also has arguments to win

This yes, thinks that the Barça also will go out to by all. "I expect to a FC Barcelona that keep the constants that comes offering all the season. It is a very balanced group that handles very well the spaces, that does not abandon to any of his footballers and that, imagine, will treat to reduce the rhythm to the party by means of the control of the same".

Has clear what is the best of the Barça. "What are meaning Leo Messi and Ter Stegen, that can be determinants". And it does not believe Karanka that the referee, Sánchez Martínez, go to have incidence in the party. "In the last times is speaking a lot of the new technologies. For ones are very well and for other desvirtúan the game. I think that, once again, the most important is to leave to the referee do his work knowing that, as all, can commit his errors. I do not think that it go to have influence at the end of the party".
