“The team is better after working for a whole year. Our rhythm is stable and we try to improve with every game. We relate better to each other and we’ve had a longer time to work together. We had six absences today and we nevertheless did well. We’re stable and we have a young structure. This is a young team with fresh ideas.”

“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.”

“A great team cannot choose which championship it would rather win. We won the Copa del Rey last season, but we know the Champions League and La Liga are important and we will try to win them also. Small details make all the difference between winning and losing titles. Usually the more prepared you are the greater the possibilities. I hope those small details are on our side. We can only promise we will continue to work hard.”
