"After analysing the match, I think it was a very complete performance. We managed to overcome the high press with 1 against 3 every time, which is always difficult because you have to control the ball. We played a very good game, we could even have scored more because we created clear chances. I'm happy, it was a very high level of play and we lived up to our supporters' expectations."
"Normally, when a very important match comes around, everyone is nervous. For me, as a coach and with experience of this type of match, it's more important to stay calm than to get too excited. We were able to welcome our supporters today and their energy was fantastic. We understand the importance of these matches and the rivalry between the two clubs. Today was a wonderful moment. We had a very good training session. Connecting with the fans' energy is one of the most important things for me, when you take in and receive the fans' joy because you make them happy and proud."
"I don't know if the gap has widened. A single football match, especially away from home, is difficult. In a single match, different circumstances can be important. We're calm and relaxed, here to play our game and try to be better than them. It's difficult to say where each team stands when it's only the fifth league match of the season."
"The pressure is on all the coaches, players, supporters... These are different matches, matches we love to play and coach... We love going to the stadium and seeing the passion. It doesn't matter who the favourite is, we have to prepare for the match as usual. All the matches have been difficult, especially away from home, but we're used to that. We know how to prepare for this type of match and in the opening minutes, we want to overcome the pressure."
‘‘Our mentality is that the team is greater than any individual player. That’s what it means to be a real team. At this moment in time, and throughout last season, we’ve shown that personality as a team, that DNA, and I think that’s something our supporters love.’’
