Rafael Marquez has admitted that Real Madrid’s change of coach means that Barcelona do not know what to expect when they play in el Clasico on Saturday.
The Mexican international believes that the Blaugrana recognized how Bernd Schuster’s teams played, but that new coach Juande Ramos will be an unknown quantity.
Real Madrid changed their trainer this week after losing to Sevilla last weekend, but Marquez thinks that if Barca play the way that they have been then they will win.
“The Madrid that will come on Saturday will be a different team to the one that would have come with Schuster because we knew how they played, but we do not know about how Juande will do things,” he told Catalan television.
“But our task is to continue playing as we have been. The team has to remain calm and to go into the game with humility.
“In football, things are like life and now we are on the up having been down for a while.”
With no indication as to what side he will name, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola will wait until the morning of the game to announce his decision. Marquez is hoping that he will be in the team.
“We are going in to el Clasico with an anxiety to win as that is everyone’s aim at Barca,” he continued. “I am very excited and want to play in the most famous game in the world. There is no equal to this.”
