MADRID, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Real
Madrid will be close to full strength for Thursday's King's Cup clash with
second division Leganes after coach Carlos Queiroz signalled a shift in policy
at the club.
Under former coach Vicente del
Bosque, Real gave the cup a low priority in the early rounds, fielding teams
made up mostly of second-team players and habitual substitutes.
Real have won the Champions League
three times since 1998 and the Spanish league title in two of the last three
years but they have not won the King's Cup since 1993.
Queiroz, who
replaced Del Bosque in the close season, is keen to set that record straight and
he named a strong squad on Wednesday, choosing to leave out only Zinedine Zidane
and the injured Luis Figo. "You have to be careful in this competition," Queiroz
said. "We have to respect the competition and our opponents.
