ALMOST ALWAYS AMONG THE EIGHT BEST IN CHAMPIONS
“It is a reality, we have to compete to be as high as possible and surpass ourselves every year. It is the initial objective when the season begins ”.
IT'S WORTH THE TIE OR LEAVE THE GOAL TO ZERO
“It's like a tie and you have to play the away round, you have two results. There is always the need of the rival to propose and attack, he has good footballers and good players, we already said that he was going to be a difficult opponent and he will show how he has shown throughout the competition. In the first leg it was an intense match, there were many goals, there could be more, many situations … I think we are approaching a match similar to the one that took place in the Wanda”.
ATHLETIC, VERY FAVORITE FOR SOME
“I am respectful. I can't comment on what people value. We are clear about what the rival is worth and where we are ”.
NOTE TO THE TEAM

CONTRIBUTION OF KOKE TO MENTALIZE
“I see him very well.”
FLOWERS OF THE SALZBURG TECHNICIAN
“I do not stop in what way the rival pronounces. Another thing is to speak out and another to speak into what one sees, the real thing is what one talks about with the footballers. Since the quarantine the team has grown, in the Champions League we have had more difficulties, we deserved to win one more game than we won. It is a tie more than a game and we will try to take it to where we can be good. ”
SALZBURG
“Brave, with a good coach, who locks you in, who reacts very well in your field when he loses the ball, who handles the ball stopped, who plays very well positioned with his good football, to generate superiority for the center, which the boys have offensively. Against him Lokomotiv was close to winning, against him BayernUntil the 80th minute he was in the game, he went to Russia and won, with us it was competitive. He's doing a very good job, like last year against him. Liverpool. Everyone sees it ”.
SITUATION OF REAL MADRID AND ZIDANE
“I don't think about things that are not real at the moment. We are concerned, both with Real Madrid and with us, the rival we have. And take forward the moment we have ”.
DIEGO COSTA
“It is better if the doctor explains that it is a more individual issue. He is already in the field working with the recuperators, it is a good point, it excites us. Let's hope that when the doctor gives his opinion, he will accompany us, we will wait as long as necessary, it will be a month or six ”.
