He added: "Seriousness is important, playing as a team, and taking the matter seriously. We have more quality, but it was not clear that we would have more behavior." The team performed well from start to finish. It was a good game. Those who played less got minutes and we are satisfied.”

And about the young players: “No. There is something special, they have shown their quality and it is a good experience for them To be with us, to work, to train, to add minutes with us. They are young, they and others, and they have a lot of quality. We are always controlling them, monitoring them.”

And about the atmosphere in Al Madinah: “It is very important for the team. This is a very nice thing for the players. They stayed with the fans to sign shirts. It is a beautiful day in this aspect as well.”

About Endrik: “He played a good match, but he lacked details So he didn't score,  he moved well, had chances, and his movements are always effective behind the attacking line. He lacked success, but his game was very good. On the right, he was dangerous. He must be patient. He will score goals when we need them.”

He added: “Fede Valvedere was very good. He played 45 minutes and we thought they were good for him.” . He left Valencia refreshed, we took minutes away from others. He's very nice."

Regarding Vallejo's absence: "He was not available and I was a little upset. It's better not to risk it."

And he said: "I'm happy, criticizing the coach is completely normal. There is no university for football, everyone can have their opinion and they can be right.”

And about Modric: “He is a gift for football. And even more so for those who can enjoy it up close: the fans, the teammates, the coach... everyone at Real Madrid. For me, it's a great gift, especially because of the way he prepares this type of match. He prepares them as if they were final, and it is a very important example for the young people.”

He concluded: “The racist chants against Vinicius in front of Valencia? I think they will not punish him. He does not need affection. He is one of the best players in the world, he helped us win the Champions League twice. He is loved by all Madrid fans. That's why he plays so well."
