Vinicius Jr: “We Have To Keep Working To Achieve Great Things This Season”
Real Madrid took all three points against Espanyol at the Santiago Bernabéu. Vini Jr, scorer of the first goal, analysed the victory: “We were calm enough to come back from a goal down. Whenever we get into a situation like this, we come out of it very comfortably. I’d like to win games more easily, but that’s the way it is and we have to keep working to achieve great things this season. Thanks to the fans for coming out in such numbers. We hope there will be even more on Wednesday.
“I’m very happy with the fans, the coach and for playing for the greatest team in the world, I’m very fortunate. I have to keep on working and improving to help all these people who love me so much.”
Worldy “It’s a move that I practice a lot, but in matches it’s always a bit more difficult because there are a lot of players marking me. Today I did well and I’m very happy.”
Liverpool “Positive sensations for Wednesday. We have to keep going like this, defend well and go out to win the game.”
Nacho: “It was very important to win today.” “It was important to win today. We came from a few games where the results weren’t what we wanted. This victory gives us confidence to face a very important and very difficult week. We’re looking forward to the upcoming games.”
“It was a great move, it’s true that I’m not used to making those forays forward, but it came off well and I’m very happy. It was a good win.”
Big matchday “For us right now, every matchday is important. We’re behind with a big deficit and it’s vital that we get every point we can to reduce it. It was very important to win because we know that next weekend is a direct clash. I’m happy with the win and we’ll do our utmost to try and win at the Camp Nou.” Bernabéu support “It gives me goosebumps. Everybody knows this is my home. I’m so happy because I’m putting together a good run of games and I can feel it from a fitness perspective. I’m really happy right now, as I said, the decision on whether I stay won’t depend on how much I play until the end of the season. Of course, if things keep going as they are right now, I won’t be able to find the same feeling as I have playing for these colours anywhere else. I like to live in the moment and I focus on things like this that make me feel fantastic”.
Tchouameni: “We want to win every game” “This was a big win. We want to win every game. We haven’t managed to win the last couple of league matches but we did a good job today and we’re happy. It was tough early on but we grew into the game with and without the ball and it’s a well-deserved victory”.
“I learn from Modrić in every training session. I’m delighted to have provided the assist, I watch Luka play with the outside of his boot day in day out”.
Business end of the season “Real Madrid will fight until the end for the LaLiga title. Every game is decisive and if we beat Barcelona, we’ll only be three points behind so we’re going out to win it”.
