Arias: "We shouldn't overlook Granada and concentration will be important"

Valencia CF legend and ambassador Ricardo Arias was at the Ciudad del Fútbol de las Rozas on Friday for the Copa del Rey draw, which pitted VCF against Granada away from home in the quarter finals.
"I think that the fans can be happy. We are up against a team, in Granada CF, who we shouldn't overlook, but the tie offers us the possibility of continuing to dream, as long as the concentration on the pitch is adequate," said Arias.
"Now we have to show that we are the reigning holders for a reason. Not everybody wears the special winners' badge, so we have to fight to play in another final. It's a little closer now," he continued.
"If we want to relive that excitement and remember times from the not-too-distant past from the final in Seville last year, we have to get past Granada and whoever awaits us."
Arias also spoke with Pepe Macanás of Granada CF, who was motivated by the fixture.
"The new format for the Copa del Rey has brought us here. We played on an artificial pitch and in Badajoz we struggled to get through. We are excited and happy to play at home, after so many years without a Copa del Rey quarter final."
