A special Classic, without an audience, start motivated: “We know what we are going to find, an empty field, but it is the same for all teams. It is a different Classic but it is always special. For us it is important to start the game well ”.
How is Sergio Ramos: “We know that he is our leader, the captain. We are not going to risk anything, as always. He's recovered and he's going to be with us. It is about being 100% and I think he is already there ”.
Reading of defeats: “We watch the game, as always. We started badly, in the sense that when there is a goal down it has cost us to lift our heads. It has been difficult for us to play against a team behind, we cannot find the solution. It's football, there are highs and lows in a season. We want to prepare well for our match, which is a different match, and forget what happened to us. It has only recently happened to us that we have had difficulties. The situation is a bit strange, you have to accept when things are regular. We have a party to claim our strength ”.
The Children's Classic, by Ansu and Vinicius: “A Classic is a Classic. It's going to be a good game despite the situation and the empty field. We already know the situation. A Barça-Madrid is always about team after team ”.
The best match a Classic for the crisis: “It is the best way because it is the game we have. It is a good match to vindicate ourselves. We want to change the situation and that is what we are going to try ”.
Most delicate moment as a coach. If you like to go as a victim to the Camp Nou: “I don't like being a victim or anything. Each party has its history. It's the beauty of football. Bad moments can happen, but the good thing about football is that you can take it out and change the situation again. This is what we are going to do, think positive ”.
Lack of trust: “The work in 48 hours is rest and prepare the game. What is going to change is the game itself: start strong. Confidence goes with what you are going to do on the field ”.
How he sees Barça: “It is a team that has always been strong. Each coach has his things, but Barça is always Barça. It is a competitive team that knows how to play and can complicate things for you. Then I will not go into the details of what they are doing. We are going to have a difficult game. ”
What you need to do to reverse the situation: “It is finding the solution. I am critical of myself, I am the engine to improve. We can all change things together. After a loss as a coach, most of the criticism comes from me and normally. I don't look at the past, I'm interested in what's ahead and we have the opportunity to play a good game. “
More motivated than ever: “We do not enter the field not to win, we always enter to win. Sometimes things don't work out for you for various reasons. But the good thing is that there is a party and what party. We have to put our concentration and dedication on the pitch ”.
The two faces of the team: “There is no easy game, but sometimes things don't go the way you want. The other day we entered well, then they scored a goal and it was more complicated. Madrid have always had ups and downs and this club always wants to show, every time it is their turn. And tomorrow is an important stage for our image ”.
If you feel the support of the club and the players: “Yes, of all. I have won many things with the players, they have made me win many things. I will always be to death with them. They are the ones who fight, run, fight. I do feel the support. But the important thing is to change our chip because we have had two difficult games and we have a game to change things. Football is beautiful because there are complicated moments, when things get a little worse, those with character, quality … We have to get that out ”.
In debt to this wardrobe: “No, I do not think so. I'm the coach and around the team they say a bit ugly things. And I am the coach to decide, nothing happens. Let's try to do things together. I always say the same thing: nothing changes. We work to try to change things. When there is a bad game you have to get together, not only in football, in life. We want to be together and try to change what is negative into positive ”.
Meet with footballers these days: “We don't want attitude to be the problem, it won't be the problem. Even in both these games. We have lacked things, but the attitude… my players always want, they have motivation and concentration to do things well but from time to time things don't go the way you want ”.
The future is played: “It is what is said… I will not deny it. That changes? Nothing has changed. In the first stage the same, it does not change. What I have to do is my job, give 100%, everything I have inside. Nothing else”.
How to improve: “In all the games where we do it wrong, criticism is normal. It seems normal to me if we lose. It has always been like this, history does not change. Criticisms do not make me change, what has to make us change is to think that we have a very important game and that we have to change things ”.
