09th January 2008

It's a big night for the King's cup. Rijkaard is ready for the occassion. In fact, more ready than many people know.

Frank Rijkaard is eager to take on Sevilla not for any scores to settle, but a natural sign of the rising confidence in the coach and the entire Blaugrana squad after starting 2008 on a high with a 2-0 away victory over Mallorca. Another away duel now lies in wait for the Catalan giants as this time, a stronger host by the name of Sevilla are in line. The strength and name of the host does nor scare Rijkaard one bit, as the brave coach says:

I think it’s good that we get to play Sevilla because they are a strong side and we’d like to knock them out. We are confident enough we can do it. I wouldn’t accept a draw because we want to win and you can only say a draw is a good result once a game is over.

With such resolve by the Dutchman, fireworks are indeed already flying. Read more from Rijkaard:
