He added: “Araujo staying? He has a contract for a year and a half.” I hope he renews his contract later. You can see that in training and in matches. He is one of the best defenders and is still able to play.


He continued: Signing Rashford? I always say I'm happy with the team. We have two players out of the team, Marc Bernal and Inigo. The important thing is that everyone is on the pitch, but I'm happy with the team I have ".


Regarding the team's failure to score in Getafe in the last 4 years: "We also said that during today's meeting. The important thing is that we focus on what we can do to change This.

And about the Champions League match:"For us, the next match is always the most important. I know we have a lot of games to play in the coming weeks, but we are always focused on the next game. We have to think about Getafe; And after that, in Benfica.”


He continued: “Fati? The important thing is to be honest with the players, and I was that with Ansu. We talked about different possibilities; He is now deciding whether he wants to stay here. We will give him the utmost care. We want to see him motivated. But professional football is like that. Our job is to help you and make it better. What I can add is that he is a professional player. If you want to continue, that's fine.”


Regarding resting Pedri tomorrow: “We have changed our philosophy with him a little. It's good for him to play constantly. Right now it has reached an incredible level. He plays everywhere and is a key piece for us. It's good for him to start playing. Then we will see if he will play 45 minutes, 60...”


And about Yamal: “For his age, he is doing well. The most important thing is what he does on the field. It helps us. This is what we like to see from him.”


And he said: “Did you watch the match between Real Madrid and Celta Vigo? If the draw puts us against Real Madrid, we will accept it. I watched the Madrid match, it was interesting. But I have nothing more to say.”


He added: “Do you see teams like Getafe in Germany? I'm focusing on La Liga because I like the way the teams play. Every team has special things. This is what I love about LaLiga.


He concluded: “Would you accept Fati’s departure on loan if he asked you to do so? That has not happened yet. This is not the way I deal.” With these problems, I know you like to talk to me and there might be a possibility if I think of something like this, I will tell Ansu.”
