Cannavaro: We must play at our best

Real Madrid were stung 1-0 by Liverpool at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg Champions League clash two weeks ago. The Merseysiders’ ultra-defensive, counterattacking approach earned them the vital away win.

“At the Bernabeu, Liverpool did not make any effort to win the game,” ‘Canna’ said in an interview with AS. “Throughout the match, their goalkeeper kept sending long balls to Dirk Kuyt over and over again.

“I know for certain they will do the same at Anfield. I am sure of it. We must play our best football and must also have a lot of patience and eliminate any mistakes at the back. If we can score against them, we will force them to come out and play.”
