00:02 We start the press conference.

00:08 We ask a question by way of intervention.

00:10 Before that, you must identify yourself with your name and the name of the person in the middle.

00:14 Hi, how are you, Carlos? Here, on your left.

00:18 Good evening, Ruben Cañizares, Diario BC.

00:20 I want to congratulate you for the victory and ask you what you think about Nico Paz's goal,

00:26 what he said to the lad after the game and what future does he have in the club?

00:33 Nico has done what everyone expected.

00:39 For him, it's a special night.

00:43 Obviously, he's a player for the future of Real Madrid,

00:52 because he has all the qualities that a player on the Real Madrid squad should have.

00:59 He did it very well.

01:01 He has contributed to the team in a difficult moment.

01:06 This is what we need from him, as from all the others who are playing,

01:13 fighting and competing to have the team at a good level.

01:21 Hi, how are you, Carlos? Here, Javi Gómez, Cadena Copes.

01:25 Live, in the match.

01:27 You, as a player, have played with many of the greats of history.

01:31 As a coach, you have coached many of the greats of history.

01:35 Have you seen a player with 20 years, with so much potential, with so much potential, in the future, like Bellingham?

01:42 The truth is that Bellingham surprises me every day, every game.

01:50 I think that not only us, but everyone is surprised.

01:55 I think that Bellingham is a gift for football, because it's not just a problem.

02:01 Obviously, the Real Madrid coach, his teammates are delighted with him, the fans are delighted with him.

02:09 But I think that everyone in football is delighted to see a player with this potential, with this positive image.

02:19 I hope I can continue.

02:22 Hi, how are you? Juanma Sánchez, Radio Nacional.

02:28 Congratulations on the win, on the first place, full of games won in this Champions League.

02:35 I wanted you to evaluate the performance of the team today, which started very well.

02:40 At the beginning, the second half was difficult, but it ended better.

02:44 And, above all, the performance in this edition, with those five wins. Thank you.

02:49 I think it was an equalised game, a competition against a rival that has quality.

02:55 It has shown it.

02:57 I think that, in terms of playing with the ball, we did well.

03:02 We didn't rush too much, but we managed to get out from behind.

03:07 Where we could have done better, for me, was in the defensive aspect.

03:13 I think the team was quite organised, but not as aggressive as we should have been.

03:20 When it seemed that the team didn't have enough energy to win, the game showed the opposite.

03:30 We had more energy than the rival, which allowed us to win in the last part of the game.

03:36 Hi, Carlos. Good evening. Olivier Lorenzo, El País.

03:41 Since you lost to Metropolitano, you've played 12 games, won 10 and drew 2.

03:47 Why this change? What mark did this game leave for you, so that you could have this good run and be in a good period of play? Thank you.

03:58 I think that the game against Atletico Madrid has shown some limits.

04:08 We conceded three goals with the centre-backs, because I think we weren't able to control the penalty area well with both central defenders.

04:23 We've changed that a bit. Sometimes, the break behind the back-line has to be cut in half,

04:30 which allows us to have the two central defenders more in the area for the centre-backs.

04:36 I think that the team has improved. Now we're doing quite well defensively, but we always have to improve.

04:45 I think that today we could have been a bit stronger, more forceful, especially when we had the blocker at the back.

04:53 Hi, coach. Good evening. Mario Larriba, El Diario AS. Congratulations on the win and the first place.

05:00 I wanted to ask you how tired the team is after the game you played today. Thank you.

05:05 How?

05:06 How tired is the team?

05:08 We're tired. We've had some players with cramps, but that's normal.

05:14 It's been a very intense, open game.

05:18 There have been a lot of transitions between Napoli and us, so it's been a very intense game.

05:31 We've finished the game quite tired, but we have time to recover until Saturday.

05:38 Hi, Carlos. On your left, Hector González, live from the Larguero de la Cadena SER.

05:45 You were talking about Bellingham's quality, with only 20 years, but you also draw attention to his youth as a leader.

05:52 For example, in the goal against Jose Lua, how he encouraged Jose Lua not to apologise and to stand up to the stands.

05:58 How is Bellingham in the dressing room? How does he play as a leader with only 20 years?

06:03 Bellingham is a young, serious, professional player who is in a very good shape.

06:09 He has adapted very well to the dressing room.

06:14 I don't see anything special.

06:21 He works hard and he gets on well with the others.

06:25 He has to improve his Spanish.

06:30 As I've said many times, no one is perfect. He has to improve.

06:38 Hi, Carlos. Here, Abraham Romero, El Mundo.

06:44 To continue with Bellingham, today he played with the boots that Zidane used in his time.

06:50 He's five years old and has a powerful start.

06:55 I'm not going to ask you if he's going to be better, because that's almost crazy.

07:00 But when you see Bellingham, do you see Zidane or is he the player that most resembles the Frenchman?

07:07 It's difficult to compare. I think it's difficult to compare two different generations.

07:15 What I see is a different arrival that Zidane didn't have.

07:26 It's a quality that Zidane doesn't have.

07:31 I think there's a difference.

07:34 This is modern football.

07:36 I think modern football wants more physically strong players like Bellingham,

07:45 who are able to cover a lot of space very quickly.

07:50 Hi, Carlos. How are you? Fernando Burgos, live from the radio stadium Noche de Onda Cero.

07:57 We have on the programme Feliciano López, a Spanish tennis player who won only four Copa Davies.

08:02 He wants me to congratulate him on the win against Italy last Sunday.

08:08 He wants me to ask you about Bellingham.

08:12 After three and a half months, he's scored one more goal than the 14 goals he scored in the season at Dortmund.

08:18 He's considered, despite the 100 plus 30 million, a cheap footballer.

08:28 I'm not going to get into the subject of how much money Bellingham has spent.

08:34 The truth is that it's been a spectacular signing for the club.

08:40 Greetings to Feliciano.

08:43 We Italians had a very good weekend with Sindler, the Copa Davies, Bagnaglia, who won the motorcycle.

08:55 We're very proud of this.

08:59 Hi, coach. José Guadalajara is right.

09:03 Rodrigo has gone from liking to score goals to scoring every ball that comes into the area.

09:08 What part of the coach's responsibility is yours?

09:11 No, I don't think so.

09:15 I've seen many forwards with a bad run of form, with bad moments.

09:25 You have to have confidence.

09:30 The player has to keep his arms up.

09:32 I don't think Rodrigo has ever kept his arms up.

09:35 The day he scored his first goal, it was a click that made him do what he usually does, which is score goals.

09:45 He's changed because he's a very good player.

09:53 It was just a matter of time.

09:56 Hi, Carlos.

10:00 I wanted to ask you about José Lu, who was frustrated today.

10:07 How did you see him in the dressing room?

10:10 Was he happy with the goal?

10:12 Or did he keep going back to those failed chances?

10:15 He also apologised to Bernabéu.

10:17 Yes, but in the end he did his job.

10:21 Not just today.

10:24 I don't ask a forward to score goals.

10:27 When he has the chance, he has to be effective.

10:32 José Lu has worked very well in the first half of the season.

10:38 He'll keep working.

10:40 Scoring goals is good for him, but a player has to apologise when he doesn't work.

10:49 He's always worked very well.

10:56 Hi, Sergio.

10:58 Despite the defeat, the team has scored three important points.

11:02 Do you think you can get another player back for the next game?

11:07 I don't think so.

11:11 I think we can get Luka Modric back in the game against Betis.

11:19 But we'll prepare for the game against Granada with this player.

11:27 Hi, Carlos.

11:30 The game has been won.

11:32 The qualifying phase has been outstanding.

11:34 Congratulations.

11:35 But I'm sure you'd like to correct that your team has been better in the first and second half.

11:42 Yes, we have to evaluate all of that.

11:47 We're satisfied.

11:51 I think we could have avoided two situations.

11:57 We'll evaluate that.

11:59 But we've been lucky enough to score two more than our rivals.

12:04 We'll take the last two questions.

12:07 Hi, Carlos.

12:08 A player who plays like this, who covers the field in depth,

12:13 is he already the best or is he destined to become the best?

12:18 We have to keep in mind that he's 20 years old.

12:24 But as I said, he surprises everyone.

12:29 I think it's not hard for me to say that he won't be a meteor.

12:38 We're talking about a great talent.

12:41 A modern player.

12:43 An ideal player for today's football.

12:47 It's a football with intensity.

12:49 It's a football that needs players who cover the field quickly.

12:55 He has these characteristics.

12:59 Last question.

13:01 Hi, Carlo Bianchi from Football Press.

13:04 We're finally able to speak in Italian after so many times we've spoken in Spanish.

13:08 I wanted to ask you, having so many injuries and seeing how the team reacted,

13:14 does it make you think you're better than last season?

13:18 I think that players have come in who have improved their quality.

13:28 Like Joselo, Fran Garcia, Brahim.

13:34 All the players who, because of the injuries, are contributing to the team.

13:45 We're having a good time and we're doing everything to keep this going.

13:55 Thank you.
