of winning silverware after a disappointing 2014-15
Real Madrid defender Pepe is eagerly anticipating
the 2015-16 campaign and expects a successful
season under new boss Rafa Benitez.
The Santiago Bernabeu side endured a trying
season under Carlo Ancelotti, who was
consequently dismissed for failing to win anything
other than the Club world Cup last term.
The Italian has since been replaced by Benitez,
who has been lured away from Napoli, and Pepe is
confident that Los Blancos will soon get back to
their best.
"I can't wait for pre-season to start; I'm looking
forward to returning to Madrid, linking up with my
team-mates again, meeting Rafa Benitez and
getting down to work," Pepe told Marca .
"I'm really motivated because I'm convinced a
spectacular season is in store for us.
"If we all work our guts out and pull together in the
same direction, success will come, I have no
doubt about that.
"We respect all our opponents, but we have a huge
amount of quality in our squad."
Madrid were beaten to the Liga title by Barcelona
last term, while Juventus proved to be too strong
in the Champions League and Atletico eliminated
them in the Copa del Rey.
