The Madrid derby is a special match, as always. There is nothing new in the run-up to the game. The opposition have all the quality they need to fight for this competition, just like us. I'm going to field a line-up where I can combine quality and collective commitment. The two things are what lead to success during the season and the trick is to combine them.
This season we've had more quality than commitment and we're working to equal that. There's a lot of pressure, but it's a match that everyone is going to watch. It'll be very competitive and a spectacle of football where we'll be the protagonists. We have to dig in and fight for the team.
These are the games you have to celebrate or endure a bit of suffering when they are over. We haven't been at our best in the games against strong opponents. Those who didn't play did intensity work. Today we did some tactical work. Tomorrow we'll watch the videos, today we watched the videos about the opposition and tomorrow I'll propose the strategy to the players.
This evening we can watch TV to relax. Tebas can rest assured that nobody has lost his head. We've asked for an explanation of what happened in order to improve the system. From what I hear, not everyone is happy.
They say that the system favours Madrid, but when Madrid wants to change it, they reject it. We'll have to ask them. We have requested the audio recordings. On some occasions they have released them and on others they haven't. We haven't asked for something that is secret. It is a situation where we want to know how it has been handled.
