Hazard's status: “Tomorrow you are going to see him, but the truth is that he is better, he is fine, he is with us. He does not resent the inconvenience and that is good.”

Champion feeling in the locker room: “No, not at all. The beautiful thing we have is the energy we put in every day, day by day is what motivates us. The rest … we don't know what will happen.”
Two points to be champion: “I would not sign two draws. It is not that I prefer or not, it is that we are here for one thing: to think about tomorrow's game and win it. It is what motivates us.

After 3-7 with Atleti in summer he said it would be a great season: “Surely something changed. We cannot be happy with what happened there. When you lose and they score seven goals, that remains, no matter what happens next. Then, day to day is the most important thing, getting up, and that is what we did We are happy with what we are doing. But on the day of this defeat he was very upset, like all the players. “
Modric's level and his retirement as a player: “There are a lot of similarities, but the most important thing is what the player feels, what he wants to do, that is the first thing.

More hunger after confinement: “The players when they get here know the history of this club, what it is, what it wants, the ambition that we always have. The particular thing about it now is that after confinement, when we returned to work, after staying home for almost three months The players wanted to do great things. You could see it in training. You could see it in games, but I see them in training: they trained phenomenally, they wanted to stay afterwards to do things and that tells you everything. “
The influence of Bale's situation in the dressing room: “My goodness, macho, the question. We think about tomorrow's game, and Gareth the same. He is one of us. You try to put things in us, but you won't be able to. We are united, we think the same, exactly the same. Him, James and everyone. “
If you feel belittled compared to other coaches: “No, I am lucky to be here, in this club, and enjoy every day, which is what motivates me. If you say that I am not good, it does not bother me, it will not change what I am. And that's it “
Benzema and the Ballon d'Or: “In football, everyone can have an opinion. For me, my players are the best. Karim is not just this year, he has done very well for many years. The Ballon d'Or is won by only one, and everyone can have an opinion, but for me all my players deserve it. “
The Coronavirus League: “We think about our hobby because, as you say, there are a lot of people who had a bad time and still have a bad time. Football is a way of forgetting a bit about everyday life. What we want is that, that's why we are working, to get things for those people who cannot come to the games. They will be seeing what we are doing and I hope they are proud of the entire squad. We have to continue to the end. “
