H an important Victory although the first half was a bit difficult as V Yad Le defended with all 11 players in the Box Real Madrid eventually managed to break the deadlock with a goal from Valverde mbappe's debut might not have been what we expected but he'll get there for sure what are your thoughts and feelings after finishing the first half without scoring a goal but scoring three in the second half I have a good feeling now that the game is over um I think we should be happy with the result especially considering the difficulties we faced in the first half I believe we have greatly improved our defense in the first half our Pace with the ball was very slow and lacked intensity without looking for shooting opportunities in the second half we played with much more movement and activity in attack simply playing faster with the ball you were critical of your defense in the previous game against mayorca are you more satisfied with the work today did your players do what you asked of them do you think the team played better defensively yes I do think so the team was much more Compact and quickly regained possession of the ball when we lost it uh defensively we played much better compared to the game against mayorca and this also includes the forwards who also play a role in the defensive aspect of today's match I believe everyone did it much better as a unit we saw that you had to show your frustration to finally get valver to take the free kick that resulted in the first goal of the match why was he hesitant to follow your directions nowadays um scoring from a free kick is much more difficult than it used to be valy has an excellent strike and we need to take advantage of that scoring directly from a free kick is very complicated because the wall Rises and it's challenging the idea of making a touch before shooting makes things easier and vver executed it very well from now on I won't force him but he definitely needs to take these shots for a player as complete as Killian mbappe has proven to be in his career do you think playing as a central forward might harm his Effectiveness in the game even though he has the freedom to move on the field don't you think this role might penalize him in some way no absolutely not he's an outstanding forward moving very quickly and effectively with the ball attacking the opposition's defensive line because of this he had three or four chances to score today creating space with his movements in this position he will score goals just as he always has it's not necessary for him to play on the left or in the center he will end up scoring goals regardless not everyone debuts and scores a goal at the bernabo at just 18 years old as endrick did today what can you tell us about him having seen him in training and talked with him over these days he seems very promising yes he is indeed promising yes he has great potential and he showed his quality in the goal scoring opportunity he had he's very quick with the ball and Powerful when striking it and these are his main qualities I think he's a penalty box Striker because he's very very dangerous in tight spaces what does it mean to have a player like Valverde a player who does his job no matter where you place him on the field he's already scored two goals this season and although you've said you don't want to set targets have you done so with Valverde Valverde is a very important player and continues to grow um he's a player who shows he has personality within the team it's not difficult for me to say that he's a player who can't be replaced by another I mean he's an Irreplaceable player this is due to his quality personality and strength we're very fortunate to have him on the team and when cross left he chose the perfect player to wear the number eight not in style but in personality to replace him what has changed with arig Gooler that made you decide to start him in today's game at the bernabo this game is part of the project for his development as a player I think we need to give him just like andri a few minutes on the field so that they can adapt well to the team and continue evolving steadily day by day so every day and every game they play will be a good opportunity for them to progress and reach Real Madrid's level do you think Lunen will stay with the team with just a few days left in the transfer window yes I believe so he'll stay with with us after the few minutes Brahim and endri played and scored does it put any pressure on you to start them in the team's attack no of course not I don't feel any pressure at all I'm happy that the players who play fewer minutes are ready and take advantage of the minutes I give them on the field so I don't feel that kind of pressure when making the lineup although as I've said many times making the lineup is complicated I'm a player who is never a starter as Lucas Vasquez but in training he's one of the best so making a lineup is complicated it has been before and always will be until the day I stopped coaching this is something that bothers me as well because it makes me a bit sad to leave someone out but choosing who starts the game is my responsibility after Bellingham had some issues in training when did you decide that ariger would start in today's game or perhaps you had already decided beforehand sorry I have another question when Bellingham is unavailable will Iger be your first choice to replace him today Iger played as an attacking midfielder switching positions with Rodrigo he can also play as a right forward I had the option of Fielding either Brahim or Arda but I thought it was a good opportunity for our to especially because we were playing at home and it would be a good chance for him to start and he had a good game today
