We have been more powerful and effective. We scored a goal coming from behind, taking advantage of our exit after pressing it. We did it well. There was a great collective commitment and that was the key
What do you think of the Kroos vs Valverde match?
They both played a very good match. In Cross’s case, he was strong in defense, which sometimes cost him due to his characteristics. Fede is used to the wing and is doing very well
Have you won more than three points today
No, there were three points. We took them from one of the most dangerous competitors in this competition, a strong team with resources. We’ve removed three dots, no more. This is too long and we are happy
Why is it difficult for some to adapt
Tshwamini is young, with character and personality. He enters a midfield who has it all, plays with Modric and Kroos… he feels comfortable. But his quality and personality give him everything he needs
Did Madrid climbed on the gas pedal
Till the end. We wanted to win and the changes were delayed because the game was under control and I didn’t want to change the dynamic. In the second we didn’t start well, but we didn’t suffer much either
Was there a special training on Miltau with Lewandowski
No, but I asked him to be more aggressive and powerful. His game with Lewandowski was amazing
The minutes gathered that Laporta went into the locker room to ask the referee for clarifications. Do you understand
I understand everything. The referee played his game and I think well
Did you ask Cross not to retire
He knows very well what we all think; Me, his teammates, the club… we don’t need to push him into anything. He is a professional and loves Real Madrid so much that we will be happy no matter what
Do you forgive this bad moment for Barcelona
The goleads for me are another football. I want to win matches, I don’t care about goals
What do you think of the Benzema match
He played a good game, it was important. Tomorrow he will win the Ballon d’Or and we will congratulate him. In no small part, it’s also ours
