…REAL MATCH

It is an exciting game. The locker room is good, fortunately there were no casualties and on top of that we recovered players after serving a suspension. We face the game with great enthusiasm and with the confidence that we can bring joy to our fans. Playing face to face against Real Madrid is very complicated. They are in a great moment. Carlo is a great coach who has a very young team with tremendous potential at a tremendous level of maturity. It is to be praised, but we will use our weapons to achieve victory. We have to be close to perfection to achieve something positive.

…IMPORTANCE OF WINNING

We always look for victory. It is true that the game puts you in your place and, to a certain extent, you can see the draw as a good result, but we are always going to chase victory.

…ANCELOTTI

Ancelotti and I are very good friends. We share many things on a professional and personal level, I have a lot of affection for him and a lot of respect. You have to highly value his figure for what he is, one of the best coaches. We will be glad to see each other. I am very happy that he is doing as well as he did.

…GETAFE MATCH

It is a crucial match, very difficult. It is going to demand a lot from us. Getafe is a very solid team, which plays good football, very forceful in duels. A crucial match for the League and the season.

…COMEBACKS

We have to score first. Every game has its story. As I said, the fact of coming back means that we have resources in the squad and that the players who come in from the bench always contribute.

…ARDA GÜLER

He is progressing very well. Every day he is better on a physical level. He is getting used to the intensity we have. I think he will have minutes, but be patient with him. There is an entire country, which is Turkey, that wants to see Arda Güler to play for Real Madrid. He is 18 years old, there will be time for him to play.

…GETAFE AND BORDALAS

They are well organized. They have quality players, Borja Mayoral has scored 14 goals. He is a team that I like a lot. I have to congratulate my friend Bordalás, who is doing a fantastic job. José has come here when he was not training. We have spent time together and we have the same idea of football. He is a friend. I am very fond of him.
