What They're Saying
Getafe manager Cosmin Contra (via Inside Spanish Football): "The Cup excites me a lot. I won one in Romania as a coach. I'd like to go as far as possible. Coming from two consecutive defeats, the most important thing is to win and to have good feelings. Then we have a match in La Liga [against Levante on Monday] and it will help us move forward."
"The Cup is a competition that has been good for me," Contra added. "Both as a player and as a coach. I'm eager to advance in the competition, and I try to transmit that to the players. If we advance and later face a stronger team, we'll see what we can do. Our obligation is to try to advance and if we can go even further, the better."
