Real Madrid can handle frozen pitch - Luxemburgo

Real Madrid coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo intends to play both Michael Owen and Walter Samuel from the start today against Numancia.

"It is a very important game for us, we're going there in excellent form," said Luxemburgo. "We must accept that we may have to play on a frozen pitch and possibly in snow."

"We won't be able to play as technically well as we're capable of."

"We must change our style to suit the pitch. The players must adapt, they have the talent to do so."
