It would be great to start the league by winning.

I have mixed feelings about the Rayo match. Rayo is an opponent who can cause problems for many teams.

We are in a construction phase where I think we will get better as the days go by and the new players we need arrive. But whatever happens, you have to focus on the game and win.

The support of the fans will be very important to us. They made us feel safe last year. To win, we and the fans must do our best.

It is very important for us to start well. I can guarantee that you will see a brave and attacking game from us in this match.

We tried to add continuity to what we did last season and to evolve in many styles of play. I attach great importance to pre-season work. Although we had a good pre-season, the more important thing is to start the league well.

The first match is always difficult. We will act with respect, but we must be courageous.

There will be no Raul de Tomas. I am happy with Falcao and he is ready. Falcao will be one of our options.
