“There are many of us already here, are we going to put more in? What for …”

The Valladolid.— “He is a complicated opponent. They are going to come to bother you. We have to play well from minute 1 to the end. To continue with what we have been doing since last year we have to have the same determination and dedication from everyone.”

Are you surprised that the success of the VAR is criticized? – “Yes, because they are critical of the successes. I am not going to talk about these things. Everyone has their say whatever they want. We have to focus on our work. And the players are also what they want: to think about the games. The rest we don't control it. “

Do you think that Jovic has reasons not to be satisfied with the minutes he has given him? If Jovic or Mayoral leave, is it a sporting decision or also an economic one? – “Everything. There are many things that are always at stake. The players are here, training well. It is what interests me.”

Why don't Vinicius and Rodrygo finish curdling? – “This question always makes me laugh. Opinion is easy. What is Vinicius going to play in 34% of the games and the other 32% and the other 31%? This will not change. It is the reality of this club. We are 25 And everyone is going to play: then there are those who play less and others more. What I want is to win and the players have to be prepared. The outside does not help. They are young boys, so what? This is the reality of football: You play, you don't play … This is not going to change, whether I'm the coach or someone else. You have 25 players and you have to choose 11. “

How is Hazard? – “I see him very close. He is prepared. He trains with the team well. We know he has not trained much so far. Now he is doing it regularly with us and it is good to be. Then we will see how we are going to do it.”

Do you think you have a better squad than last season? – “Everyone can give their opinion. It is what I have and for me they are always the best. The market is open until the 5th, but I am very happy with what I have. In the end we are many. Are we going to put people in again? What? It's already difficult to make a team, because they are all very good. I'm really happy. “

Variants and drawing, will it change? – “Yes, for me the most important thing is the balance of the team. The drawing … Also, you don't know what I do in the games. The important thing is the animation of the team when we have the ball and when we don't. When you play with three Above it is not in my head that the player has to stay in the band. It is not like that. We can change because we have many resources. and I am there to use them. “

Has Hazard lacked professionalism in him before reaching the preseason? – “I don't think so. He wants to play. He had a big problem: it has bothered him for a long time. Now it seems that he is fine. What we want, and he the first, is that he does not suffer from his discomfort. The season is very long. What he wants is to be with his colleagues, help and be well. “

Are you still looking for the best Benzema companion? – “We have many resources. It is the beginning of the season. We know that we can improve. And then use the players at specific moments of the games that we have. We know that we must and we can improve. And we are working on it. We have to be calm about these things.” .

Who do you prefer to stay with, Jovic or Mayoral? – “I'm not going to answer. We are all here and I'm going to count on all the players who have a card. If there are changes, we'll see.”

How have you motivated your players for a long season again? – “There are small challenges that we get into. We know that the League is 38 days long. It is long. But as I have a squad that always wants to demonstrate and always wants to win, this is good. I also like to play against motivated teams. Playing every three days is not easy, but it's what we like. Playing and training. Players are motivated. Surely we are going to have moments of difficulty and we are going to suffer, but this is part of a footballer's career and we have to accept it. And it is nice because it's part of football. “

Do you understand who asks for more continuity for Vinicius? – “All the players want to play more and Vini is here to play every game there is. Then the coach chooses from this great and good squad that there is.”

Preparation.- “We have had a few weeks to prepare and only one game. We can and must improve and that is what we are going to do. We must be calm with what we are doing. It is the preseason that we have to do and we must always be prepared.”

Madrid's interest in Raúl Jiménez, according to Mexican media.— “We have this squad. I don't know what is happening outside. Many things can be said. I am focused on the players who are here to play tomorrow's game. There may be discussions about the rest, but I don't know.”

Varane.— “He has come back. He has never lost his level. He just had a couple of mistakes. I am his coach and I'll take the super season he did last year and with his reaction and the game he played this weekend. This shows that “He is a great player and the team we have. It is never easy to play for Real Madrid, with the competition you always have to be good. They are human beings. What I value is the determination they have to concentrate and win again.” This is great and what I value as a coach. “
