\u201cI couldn\u2019t be happier with his performance. He is a fundamental player for us both on and off the field. I believe he should be just as important for the national team, especially in a tournament like the World Cup. We all know that there are moments when you need players like him. He is not only a legend of Real Madrid but surely the most important academy player in the club\u2019s history. For everything he has won, for the years he has been here, for being a player who laid the first stone in Real Madrid City<\/b>.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I\u2019ve always had a great relationship with him since he arrived and we shared a locker room. Despite what many people say about us sharing the same position, I have always treated him with care, respect, and admiration. I\u2019ve helped him in every way I could when we were teammates. Anyone who thinks I make the lineups for reasons other than strictly football-related or personal reasons must be someone who would be capable of doing that. It\u2019s hard for me to believe that there\u2019s a coach in the football world who doesn\u2019t make the lineup based on football reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carvajal\u2019s Minutes<\/b>
\u201cThis is very simple. I can only play with eleven players. When I put one player in, it doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m not happy with those who aren\u2019t playing. There are many players with whom I\u2019m being unfair. My goal is to feel that I\u2019m being unfair to those who don\u2019t play because they are working well. Every time they play, they show me that they can help. There are many I\u2019m being unfair to, and they deserve to play more than they are. But I can only play eleven and make five substitutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe other day, I would have also liked to reward more players in the second half with more minutes to give them the opportunity. I see them train, something no one else does, and there are many who are doing a great job every time I\u2019ve played them, whether it\u2019s for one minute or fifteen. It doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m not happy with those who play less than they deserve. For me, it\u2019s clear, evident, and I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s hard to understand.\u201d<\/p>\n
Should Carvajal Stay?
<\/b>\u201cWhen you ask me about this topic, I always answer the same. It\u2019s a matter between Carvajal<\/b> and the club. I would love for whatever makes both the club and Carvajal happy to happen. All I can say is how much he has helped me as a coach during these months and the group in situations that have not been easy. Whatever is good for Carvajal and Real Madrid<\/b> will make me happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trent
<\/b>\u201cHe is showing a great level. His performance is beyond doubt, and right now he deserves to play. When he hasn\u2019t, Carvajal has stepped in and done an excellent job. In every match, Real Madrid is fighting for its life, and so am I. Every time I put a player on the field, I must trust them immensely. Many times, it\u2019s not appreciated that when a coach selects a player, it\u2019s because they truly believe the player deserves it and, above all, that the team will win with them on the field. I don\u2019t give away minutes to anyone, and there are players I wish could play more than they are.\u201d<\/p>\n
End of the Season
<\/b>\u201cMy goal is for Real Madrid<\/b> to win every match it plays. The responsibility is to go out and win every game. For us, the six matches ahead are fundamental, regardless of what happens in La Liga. We have to make a huge effort. We know what the future holds in the coming months for the players. But I\u2019ve told them to focus only on Real Madrid. We must not only be very responsible and respectful of the badge but also of ourselves. That means giving one hundred percent until the very last day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vini Jr.’s Gesture in His Celebration
<\/b>\u201cYou\u2019ll have to ask him if you get the chance. He is ready to play tomorrow; he will be in the starting lineup. I feel privileged to have him on the team, and I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll have a great match and performance tomorrow, as he always does.\u201d<\/p>\n
What Do You Ask of Your Players?
<\/b>\u201cIn football, the emotional, mental, and physical aspects, as well as tactics, are all important. To win today, you have to be at a very high level in all these areas. It\u2019s important after this week to focus on everything we need to improve and to go out and give one hundred percent. That\u2019s all I ask of them: that when the match is over, we look back and feel that we\u2019ve given everything we had, that we\u2019ve done our best for an idea and for the team. That must also be the goal for tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Self-Demand
<\/b>\u201cIt won\u2019t be the only reason we haven\u2019t won matches. It\u2019s always largely my responsibility. I can\u2019t attribute it solely to self-demand. To win a game, you have to do many things well. Besides having great self-demand, you need to be well-prepared tactically and technically at all levels. There are many things we need to correct and improve to be capable of competing for the title.\u201d<\/p>\n
Milit\u00e3o
<\/b>\u201cWe\u2019re going to do an MRI now. From what we saw yesterday, it doesn\u2019t seem serious, and it could just be a scare, but we\u2019ll wait for the test results. In a little while, we\u2019ll know exactly the extent of what he has. It doesn\u2019t seem serious.\u201d<\/p>\n
Academy Players
<\/b>\u201cThe academy players have helped us a lot in situations where we\u2019ve needed them. The academy is doing very well. They are doing a great job, as we saw the other day with the Youth League<\/b>. The performance of all the academy teams, Castilla and its position… The players have shown they can help the first team. For me, it\u2019s one of the most positive aspects of the year. My confidence in them will always remain intact.\u201d<\/p>\n
Do You Understand That Players Might Think About the World Cup?
<\/b>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t understand it. I don\u2019t, and when I don\u2019t, I want to lead by example. That\u2019s what I\u2019m demanding from my players. We have to give our all because we are Real Madrid players, and that won\u2019t stop anyone from being able to go to the World Cup. Our requirement is to win these six matches. I would love to see that commitment from all of them, and I\u2019m sure it will be there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s \u2018Like\u2019 on a Post About Mourinho
<\/b>\u201cThese are things I don\u2019t even consider. It doesn\u2019t bother me if he gives a like to Mourinho, Julia Roberts, or anyone else. These things don\u2019t have the slightest importance.\u201d<\/p>\n
