Template status. “We are in a similar situation to that of the previous week, there are no new recruits. We don't get anyone back. And there are always players with discomfort, you have to wait. We have that mishap with Oier (he had to be hospitalized for a stroke), but it may be similar to last week. “
Espanyol's great level at home. “Like most teams, you usually get more points at home than away. It is necessary to be clear to have possibilities that the first thing is to think that you can do it, we have it in mind. The statistics say that Madrid can lose. We will prepare the game well, in a conscientious way. We will give war, and we must touch the perfection “.
Benzema, LaLiga icon. “Benzema has been like this for many years. Sometimes it is more recognized and other times less. People who live football directly have always been very clear that he is a player who is far above normal in terms of quality. He has the conditions of a great striker: physical, he associates, he plays from the back, he is smart and he has a goal. We are talking about a footballer of an extreme level, that one enjoys it or suffers it when you measure yourself to him. We can't think about that. You have to think about us. When we give the maximum level we have options to beat anyone “.

Motivation and mentality, keys. “All is important. Motivation comes standard. This will not be lacking. You have to give the players a suitable setting. You have to be willing to suffer. That is intrinsic. To enjoy yourself, you have to sacrifice yourself and go through difficult times. If people see it, they push you ”.
Have more points. “The importance belongs to everyone. We should have more points and be higher. I remember that with Mallorca we beat Madrid 1-0 ”.
Party type. “Madrid does everything well, they can play in many ways. They always generate you for their players. When they are thinner it is very difficult ”.
The fans, 60%. “It is a pity that it is not one hundred percent. We can be unstoppable at home with the help of people. Let's see if we can have all of it ”.
