Not without reason if Mourinho chose not to do the rotation. Because Los Blancos only win 3-2 in the first meeting, would be too risky if he plays second-tier team in the cage Malaga.
"We will try to win the game tomorrow, as we used to do. If you're playing for a draw after conceding a goal and then you will be eliminated," said Mourinho at Madrid's official website.
What's more by not playing too tight schedule Madrid now, there is no reason for Mourinho to not lose the best squad.
"If we were a lot of playing before the match tomorrow maybe I will not use our full potential. However, we have just returned from vacation and my players need to play," explained coach of the Portuguese nationality.
"I regard this as the Copa del Rey match is important and is positive for my players to play. We will go with all our capabilities," he said.
"I'm not going to do the rotation. I'll put a line-up which I think is best to reach the quarter-finals," added Mourinho.
