He told UEFA TV :
“Yes, it’s satisfying to work together.”
“First of all, I want to congratulate the opponent. I think they played a very good game, especially in the first half. We were stuck, we struggled to find our own way and we didn’t find our rhythm.”
“In the second half, we made amends and found more space. After we scored the first goal, the space opened up even more and we were able to find space behind the defenders.”
“To be honest, coming back after being away from the field for so long is difficult. Plus, many of our players didn’t practice much and their legs were exhausted towards the end. But the most important thing is to win the game. We are very happy.”
As for teammate Vinicius Junior, who did not play the full 90 minutes and was substituted, if he had stayed, he might have scored more goals. The Uruguayan midfielder believes that there are still plenty of games to play, so he can let off steam. At the very least, he can provide him with assists.
“After working together for several years, we got to know our teammates better both on and off the field.”
“I know we had a great striker last night who could get the attention of the opposition defenders. So the midfielders had to exploit that, find space, make runs into the box and ‘Vini’ always made the right decision. Thankfully that was the goal.”
‘ Los Blancos ‘ will play their first La Liga match at the weekend away to Mallorca (18 August ) with the aim of defending their title. Despite knowing it will be a challenging season Super Cup
