Cristiano Ronaldo’s daughter Georgina Rodriguez goes viral for her revealing moment
“We are focused, have a lot of energy and the desire to play fundamental games. We want to return to the stadium and continue the fight for La Liga. We want to reaffirm this motivation with a great game.”
Bernabéu atmosphere
“I very much respect the opinion of the Bernabéu. I understand that the fans are hurt and disappointed, but I will ask them to support the players. The great achievement was achieved because the Bernabéu was with the players. I will ask you to be on our side and support us, and I hope this season ends the way we want it.”
“Early rise” to head to Valdebebas
“I always come to work early, but of course I have a lot of work to do. I came here to work, so I’m going to do my best. I’m going to work the necessary hours to put the team in the right position and win every title possible.”
mbappe
“He is getting better and will join the team.”
manual labor
“If anyone wants my words to be a criticism of Xavi and his coaching staff, they would be very mistaken. At Albacete we lacked ideas, physicality and many other things, but I was responsible and I will continue to be responsible. It is an honor to work with Antonio Pintus and I will strive to bring the players back to their best in all aspects.”
Message to Vinicius of Albacete
“In that respect, the team was made up of players who could play. The only reason they stayed was because of injury or injury effort. I appreciated Vini’s effort because I know where he’s come from and I know the effort he’s put in. He never stopped going forward and asking for the ball… He is a leader and that is what I need from Vinicius and what I want to see in him. I have read a lot of criticism about youth players, but you will always put me in front. “The youth academy in Madrid is the best in the world. ”
albacete team
“Those who remained in Madrid could not travel. All those who could travel could. Those who stayed could not travel and risked injury.”
bellingham
“We have been training for a few days and we can see how talented he is and with his ability to play football he has to become another leader of the team. I like mobile players and I will ask him to be important and influence the game. I want him to go on the pitch and be clear about what he has to do.”
Valverde and right back
“What I’m lucky about with Fede is that he’s going to do well as a goalkeeper. He’s a kid with great ability to play football and he’ll do well anywhere. The other day he was in his natural position, but I’ve had a great captain in him and he’s played where he’s been asked to play. He will play in many positions. I like teams that are mobile, with a full-back inside and outside. For me, Valverde is what a Madrid player should be, and he embodies the spirit of Juanito.
bystander attitude
“At Castilla, I don’t even have to raise my voice to be heard. Here, on a pitch that screams, it’s hard to be heard. I spoke to the players who were on the touchline. It’s hard to hear your voice. My main job is to talk to them during the week and make them understand what they need to do. I try to be a calm coach and not get carried away by emotions. I miss them not hearing my voice.”
What do you want to see in Madrid?
“I want a team that is going to win from the first moment, a team that is definitely going to go after the opponent’s goal. Regardless of the fact that we have a football idea to work on, we want to communicate that. We want to be a team that conveys passion and enthusiasm.”
Reflection after decluttering
“I understand that people look for culprits, but I try to find solutions. When things don’t go well, it’s because the players have to be better. If they didn’t do it, it was because I couldn’t do it or they didn’t understand what I wanted. I feel very responsible for what’s happening on the field. I wouldn’t change anything about that loss in Albacete. I would give them anecdotes in the locker room. We talked about how many years it took us to win in Europe.”In the cup competitions, I’m world champion, European champion, I’ve won a lot…and this is my 10th very important European Cup. When we won, I got on the bus and my teammates who had been there for a year said, “Let’s go to another game, right?” I said to the locker room: Captain, who was already thinking about the next game, the past doesn’t matter.
what do you need?
“Coaches need something we don’t have, and that’s time. But I don’t need anything. The situation doesn’t make me tremble or doubt for a moment. I sleep well, I get up early, but I go to bed early too. Don’t worry about me.”
failure threshold
“I don’t set standards. My teammates have asked me about my failures, and I say the same thing. With each failure, I’ve grown and questioned myself. Failure brings you closer to where you want to go.”
rodrigo
“He won’t be able to come back. He’s recovering from a very big effort. Let’s hope he’s back soon. We all know about his outstanding quality. Many of his moments remain in our memory, but in the last two months he has regained his level.”
