Juan Antonio Pizzi calls for focus ahead of Atletico Madrid clash

Valencia boss Juan Antonio Pizzi has admitted that his side need to 'reach their limit' if they are to overcome Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey this evening.

Los Che travel to the Spanish capital for the second leg with the score currently level at 1-1 from the clash at the Mestalla last week.

"We need to reach our limit, the coaching staff and above all, the players. They're the ones making the real effort. We generate from that our identity, the one we're trying to achieve," Pizzi told reporters at a press conference.

"The job of the coaches is to give the players the conditions to develop. That is our responsibility if we want to continue in the cup."

Valencia have already lost 3-0 in a league match at the Vicente Calderon this season.
