12:49BARCELONA is surprising: “It’s hard to change the system after working with the same system all year. Small details are where you can surprise your opponent. In general, changing the system will just surprise you”
12:48XAVI, STONE IN THE SHOE: “It’s hard to have individual duels between coaches. They beat us in the last three and now it’s up to us to win”
12:47 p.mFAVORITE: “I don’t know who is the favorite because the match is equal”
12:47 p.mCOMMUNICATE ELEVEN: “Nothing special is said to those who remain on the bench. This group of players are not one of those who ask for many explanations. It is a squad that has a lot of competition and they understand it for that reason my office, although it is always open, usually empty.”
12:46 p.mCAMAVINGA OR TCHOUAMÉNI: “It’s always difficult to choose because the footballer’s mentality doesn’t change and they all want to play from the start. Tchouaméni contributed a lot in defense and Camavinga, with the ball in small spaces, has quality. Camavinga took his chance and Aurelien is back to his best level”.
12:44 p.mRUDIGER STATUS: “Antonio is fine. Yesterday he trained alone and today with us. And to start from behind, Alaba has a good ball out but the one who should be the best, even though it’s hard for me to say, is Courtois.”
12:43CHANGE OF SCHEME: “No. I’m not thinking of changing the system”
12:43ASENSIO Y CEBALLOS, CABINET FUNDS: “I think that each one has to evaluate the role they have and when you want to renew the contract you have to make that assessment and if you want to renew it is because this situation motivates them”
12:41PLAYERS OUT OF CONTRACT: “I don’t particularly work with them because it doesn’t affect them and they show it. Asensio, whose contract is coming to an end, played a fantastic game at Real Valladolid”.
12:40 p.mCONTINUE TO MADRID: “I’m not talking about my future like I said in the previous press conference”
12:40 p.mGAME IDEA: “The idea is not to go crazy looking for the goal because you can do that in the 90th minute. In the first leg we controlled the game well although we didn’t rise and we need to improve that but no. It will be crazy. We have to the match is complete because that’s the only way you’ll know you’re going to score goals.”
12:39 p.mCONTRIBUTION OF LATERALS: “We have a very busy left wing with Vinicius and that’s why we don’t ask the winger for much. On the right wing it depends. If we have Rodrygo, he’s very busy and if Valverde is there, who plays more inside, we ask the right wing more deeply but also depending on what is in front of them.
12:37 p.mENERGY AND PHYSICAL: “It’s important to have energy in these types of games. You also have to get the ball out from the back but you also have to have experience and the veterans will help us, but there are many important aspects”
12:36 p.mCHANGES TO ELEVEN: “In the last two games, we did well against Barcelona. We came close to winning the last game at Camp Nou and that’s why I can make the same line-up or not. Let’s see”
12:34 p.mCLASSIC IMPORTANCE: “El Clásico is always the most important game. For everyone. And that is because there is a very important rivalry. It is a game that allows us to play a final and we will do everything possible to win.”
12:34 p.mAPPOINTMENT OF ARBITRATOR: “What a question. It’s an issue I’d rather put aside and focus on preparing for the game and nothing else.”
12:33 p.mUNTOUCHABLE MODRIC AND KROOS: “Yes, they are untouchable. But Modric was also untouchable in the game against Valladolid and he did not play. I have to think about all the resources I have on the bench, not only the starting 11. The start of the game is not the most important thing, but to be the main character and that’s also for players who don’t start the game”.
12:32 p.mTEAM SITUATION: “We’re good. Motivated, focused and ready for the game. We’re very confident”
