“I’m happy. It was a complicated match and we played with a lot of intensity. Winning isn’t the most important thing. What matters is that the team gets into shape and I liked its attitude today. We have a very good squad and we used two different lineups today. We have still to use quality men like Di María, Higuaín and Sahin. We work better each day and we’re ready to compete.”

“I don’t like to talk about individual players. The team played well and gave a balanced performance in both halves of the match. This game was important for Coentrão because it helped in his adaptation. He gave a very good performance and proved his potential. Callejón did well and Varane played a serious game too. It’s important for him to show he’s fit and that he can row in the same direction as the rest.”
