Passion: “Footballers have passion. It can take a bit if the coach isn’t able to keep them involved in their project. This is definitely not my job, nor for the players. Not for you who like to talk about football
Analysis: Girona’s team plays well, has a good offensive behavior… I think it’s not nonsense to say that we have to defend well because they handle the ball well
Renner: “He’s efficient. He did with us before the start of the season, and for me he is a quality midfielder, so far I think he has not been able to show his best form, but there are players who are able to show it before, for character, and others later. There are examples of players who exploded in their 30s, for example. He has the quality of playing in a top-level team
Working with Camavinga: “I want to be clear: what I said is that when the game is open, he shows more for his qualities, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t do well when he starts. It’s less centered than Cross, e.g. “He obviously doesn’t have Cross-reading, but each one has their own individual characteristics. And Modric is not always the first, Kroos is not always the first, Chuamini is not always the first. Having said that, it’s satisfying and exciting to have a player like this. At his age, with a quality like this, there is not much in Europe
Miguel Gutierrez: “What happened with Miguel is that he started the season because we lost Mendy. He did really well with the first team. He’s a player like the others, and we’re evaluating him for the future. We partly followed it. The contract is clear: if he does a good job, he can come back. He is a player who still has an assessment from us
How will Barcelona’s elimination in the Champions League affect: “I have no idea if it will affect him or not, but I am clear that he will be a contender until the end to win the league. I have one thing very clear. During that. In the season there are good and bad moments and losses .. but it is clear that it will be a battle with them until the end to win the league
Transfers: “We are not thinking about the winter market, we are not interested in the winter market. This squad wi continue until the end of the season and will not change
Muttalib: “Courtois said we have to be more aggressive and focused. That was fair, and it wasn’t a fierce criticism
Benzema: “Yesterday he trained and after training he was not comfortable. He had a test and everything worked fine, he doesn’t have any kind of problem. We have to take into account the feeling of the player. Still not 100%
Avoid Relaxing: “You have to think that you have no advantage. Sometimes it is also difficult to recover physically
Camavinga: “I think he makes a bigger difference from the bench because the game is more open and he can brag about his qualities more. This is not his fault. It’s not that it plays worse when the match starts, but it’s different because it can appear less when there are fewer spaces. In open games it makes a bigger difference
Fede Valverde, the best in the world: “Ah! I do not know. One of the best for sure. It showed high quality. It is a surprise for the entire football world to see a complete midfielder
Coach’s hand up to the break: “No, I don’t think it’s going to be noticeable anymore. The team is focused. There is a World Cup close, but the players are not talking about it. They all want to play and be available. I don’t see mental injuries in that sense. This team always shows its face and never gives up, and I think the same will happen in these four games
Goal assignment issues: “We took stock of what happened. It wasn’t the position issue, but the positioning from the set pieces, where we tend to be more powerful. From there, thinking about these games until the break to get the best we want to get into a good position
Analysis: “The team is good and motivated. After Leipzig we want to win. We will get almost all the players back, Modric, Ceballos, Valverde, Mariano… We will not get Karim back, it is still the case. A little early. Rodrygo had a little problem tonight, he didn’t train but it will be tomorrow
Benzema and Rodrygo did not train, the French will be absent while the Brazilian is very suspicious. Ancelotti will put us out of doubt…or not in a few moments. However… what would you rather “9” be
