There will be a good atmosphere and we will face a good opponent. We are on a good dynamic at the moment and we will be at our best in Bilbao The goal is to win the match and for that we have to be at our best. Athletic Club is an intense team, with individual qualities and they are performing very well. ‘Spain”.

“I’m very good, especially when the team plays well and contributes despite the problems. We are fighting. Everyone knows that we don’t win anything in December, but we have to be in the fight and we are there despite the difficulties . Vini Jr., Camavingá And Alaba come back, we will fight even harder.”

Who would take a penalty at San Mames?
“Bellingham And Mbappé I will analyze it tomorrow and choose the one who is in the best shape to take it. This is not a matter of debate. Getafe’s penalty can be analyzed in two ways. Some see it as an act of insecurity and we see it as an act of responsibility and altruism. Those are two important things for us.”

“The selflessness of a great talent like Mbappé is an act that we greatly appreciate because it means that what could be the greatest talent there is in football is putting himself at the service of the team. I don’t see that as a lack of courage but as an important act for his teammates Everyone at the club appreciates it as an act of selflessness. This means he is on the right track.

The return of Tchouameni
“He is doing very well. He trained well and recovered well. We will see tomorrow where I place him. We have to think that the players come back gradually and that is enough. He has been useful defensively, both as a defender central and as a defender The defensive pivot is very important for us, he gives us height on set pieces because we lost height with him, Militao And Camavingá missing”.

The role of the right winger
“He performs more defensive tasks than the left winger. That’s why we don’t always play a winger, sometimes we play a midfielder or an inside player. Brahim And Bellingham have these characteristics. We have to adapt the characteristics to the system we have on the ground.”

Ceballos
“He played well like Asencio. He came on the pitch and showed his quality with a good attitude. He is a different type of player from other midfielders. He is less about energy and more about control He has a lot of personality and is not worried about having the ball. He brings more quality to the game.

Asencio’s rapid adaptation
“He has shown himself to be a reliable central defender. He does not lack knowledge of the position. His positioning is very good, he is confident and motivated. He has shown a lot in these four games and if I think about leaving him, on the bench, we will have to think about it one day I was surprised by his maturity and his calm when it comes to handling game situations. He is very confident and you never see him worried. already passed the crucial test and he can be considered an actor in this. domain team with all the credit because he deserves it.”

Bellingham’s goal contribution
“The team’s improved performance has allowed him to start scoring goals again. He has always played well, but now he is more stable up front. We are better in possession, we have clearer ideas and MbappéOur individual improvement freed up space and he took advantage of it. Except for a few games, his position has always been the same as last year.”

Competition between Fran Garcia and Mendy at the rear left
“These are technical decisions. I have every confidence in a player who helped us win two Champions Leagues. Fran is good in defense and also contributes going forward. He took advantage of the opportunity I gave him.”

The Libertadores final
“I watched the match. There was a fantastic atmosphere and an incredible first minute of play, with that kick. The attitude and commitment from Botafogo was extraordinary and I am very happy for Allan (a player who ‘he coached in Naples) and for Botafogo, a historic club in Brazilian football which won for the first time the Libertadores. If they advance, we will be delighted to face them in the final. Intercontinental. They put in an extraordinary performance and we congratulate them.”
