"Vinicius Jr. has done very well after not playing much and that is the important thing for me," said the coach.
“It's a game suffered, the opponent had things and they have shown it. They do not deserve where they are on the table and we have lacked a bit of fluidity in our game, especially in the second part, that we made a round trip and that does not suit us. In the end we get a good result and it is very important for us. They are three very important points and to continue as we are doing ”.
Vinicius Jr.
“The important thing is that the player wants to score goals, it is his job and it is necessary to highlight what he has done, that he has done very well. He entered the game very well offensively and defensively, like everyone else. Also, playing less lately has touched him and he has done quite well. He always has to work and he does it. The goals come with confidence, the important thing is to make one and then enter this dynamic. But I see beyond, he has done very well after not playing many games and that is the important thing for me. ”
Does Vinicius demand that he score?
"No. The goal is a consequence of what the team does on the field, you can score one or the other, as Rafa today (Varane) I think there are 15 and those who have scored and I do not ask any of that because it is the most difficult. The important thing is what we always put on the board, it is work when we do not have the ball and work when we have it, and lately we are doing quite well. ”
"Valverde It has room for many years here, it is proving it. He is an important player, like everyone else. He is very young and at the time of playing it does not cost him, neither with the ball nor without the ball and when he plays he does it well. Now we are many. For example, in the middle, Isco He hasn't played today and I like that all players are ready because there are many games and I like that they are all involved. Today is what happened, each one when it is his turn does well. This is very long. We will have many games and every three days you have to do it very well. Already next week we have again the Champions"
Casemiro
“He has to endure again. Until when I do not know. Anyway it has 4 cards, we cannot change this. We are going to watch the games, they also asked me before how we are going to do with the sides, but the important thing today is to enjoy what we did today. We have to be happy about our game, and then we'll see what will happen next week. ”
Modric
“We always talk with the players. We know the importance of Modric. He has not had many injuries, he can endure a lot and many games because he has a physique to continue playing many games, but it is true that I have to do these rotations from time to time, but not to rest ModricI see him well. At his age I had it more complicated. He knows that from time to time we skip a game, but he can endure very well physically. ”

“I am lucky to be here with them. I take advantage every day, but it is they who fight in the field. We have a very good squad, it is important to train well every day and then play well and we are in it, but knowing that there is still a lot, and let's not forget where we come from. ”
Foul throwers
“There is an established order and it works before a match. To speak of this fault, it was a bit distant, and could also go to the goal, but yes, there is an order to throw the faults.
