Alberto Toril and Toletti spoke at a press conference before Real Madrid's fourth-round Women's Champions League match against Twente. The coach said: "It's going to be a tough game. If we expect it to be like the first leg, then we're very wrong. We were very strong but they have a good team and they've shown that in other games against strong opponents. We have to stay very focused and switched on, and be aware that they've got talented players. If we're focused we have a chance to finish this Group Stage and make it to the quarter-finals. The prize is a big one and we're aware of that".
"We didn't play well against Barcelona and we're trying to move on. We have a big challenge tomorrow which is to reach the quarter-finals and we're only focusing on that, because it's stimulating enough. It's the most important thing for us right now and we'll continue to improve".
Keys points of the match
"It's going to be a completely different game. They play an end-to-end game and we're not really interested in that because it becomes a lottery of a game that can go either right or wrong. It has to be a more controlled, tighter game, aware that our strengths are also running and taking advantage of the spaces, but we have to choose the right moments to attack them with pace or play with more controlled possessions".
Toletti: "We have to stick to our game plan".
"It's going to be a tough match. It's also at their place and they're going to make things difficult for us. In spite of the 7-0 scoreline, I think they played well. A place in the quarter-finals is at stake and we want to get the win to get closer to the top eight teams in Europe".
Return from injury
"I'm feeling better and little by little I'm getting there. It's been a bit difficult as the team plays every three days and I had to catch up with the rhythm. Regarding the match, we must be focused on our game plan to get the win".
