Real Madrid don't live for counterattacks, insists Pepe

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Pepe has hit back at the notion that Real Madrid only set out to hit teams on the counterattack after their 3-1 win over Barcelona on Saturday. The defender powered home a header early in the second half after Cristiano Ronaldo had equalised following Neymar's early goal, before Karim Benzema sealed all three points. Barca captain Xavi stated after the match that his side had failed to deal with Madrid's gameplan of hitting on the break, but Pepe is adamant the reaction from the Santiago Bernabeu crowd during Madrid spells of possession proves they are a multi-faceted team. "I don't think that Real Madrid live for counterattacks," he told reporters. "Our supporters chanted 'ole, ole' and this is a demonstration of that. "We could have started the second half ahead, but that was not possible. Despite this, we started the half with a victorious mentality and we won."
