Pre-season analysis

“Amazing confidence.  We’ve seen the team put on a very serious, compact performance in a lot of games.  With all the new signings that have arrived, we’ve done a brilliant job.  This is a great time for us, so we must make the most of it in the first League match, and continue doing as well as we have been doing.”

“On a personal level, it always helps receiving an award like this, particularly in this tournament, which is legendary here in Spain.  I’m also happy with my personal performance.”

Confidence

“The coach is giving me this confidence that you’re seeing.  I want to continue making the most of these minutes in the best way possible, in order to maintain this level of continuity.”

Start of LaLiga

“We can’t wait for LaLiga to start on Friday.  No-one is more keen than us to start the competition as well as possible.”
