Arias: "We'll be required to stay alert and motivated against Cultural Leonesa"
Valencia CF ambassador Ricardo Arias was at the Ciudad del Fútbol de Las Rozas on Friday, attending in person the draw that pits the club against Cultural Leonesa in the Last 16 of the Copa del Rey.
"It's a tie against opposition who we know will require is to stay alert, motivated and keen to show our worth," Arías warned, having already seen the Segunda B club eliminate Atletico Madrid in a huge Round of 32 upset.
"Their ground is a good one and they are a side who play good football. That's positive, but if you switch off then the same thing that happened to Atletico Madrid can happen to you. We are in the Last 16, so you have to look at the teams you've avoided as well. A pure, tough fixture awaits us -the way it should be."
Arias was nevertheless happy with the draw, saying that "They are very excited to play against Valencia CF. From the start, we've been treated with the respect that you get for being the holders.
