00:00 Good evening, welcome. We start the press conference.
00:03 As you remember, a question by intervention and before identifying with your name and the one in the middle.
00:08 Hi, how are you, mister? Very good, it's Antonio Romero live for the Ser network.
00:19 Brayn arrived at the beginning of summer and it seemed that he had not aroused much enthusiasm among the people,
00:24 which was a reinforcement a little, with all due respect, of the lot for the squad.
00:28 And it is growing exponentially.
00:30 I would like to know, with your opinion as a coach, and if you expected this growth so huge of Brayn as a player in Real Madrid.
00:38 Well, after two years in Milan, I have seen him more powerful, stronger, with more character and personality.
00:48 Then he started the season without playing many minutes, but when he took, he had the opportunity.
00:56 He has always contributed, he has shown.
00:58 Now his level is a level where you can see that he has a lot of confidence in what he is doing.
01:04 He has scored an incredible spectacular goal.
01:10 It is as always, he has contributed.
01:13 It should be noted, obviously, the goal, as the work he has done with all the others.
01:18 Because the work has been hard, difficult, but the team was concentrated and has endured until the end.
01:32 Hello, good evening. Miguel Ángel de la Marca has joined a great game.
01:36 Can you say that he is the starting goalkeeper of Real Madrid?
01:38 Well, a goalkeeper who has done well.
01:40 He is very motivated, he has a lot of confidence.
01:46 Obviously, the fact that he is playing gives him confidence.
01:51 The game he has played has been an outstanding game, because in all situations he has done very well.
02:00 How are you, Carlos Martínez de Oquidiario?
02:04 The other day you highlighted the game against Meni.
02:07 And today you have played a great game, if not as good as the one the other day, even better.
02:11 How would you define it?
02:13 And what can you say about a player who is adapting to this position?
02:16 Well, he has understood very well what the team needs at this time.
02:22 It is a position that he is covering in a spectacular way.
02:29 It seems that he has always played there.
02:32 He is strong in the air ball, he is strong in the duels, he is intelligent in the position.
02:38 So, obviously he can play in this position, as well as he can play as a pivot in the emergency.
02:47 I think that the emergency that we have at this time, we have fixed it with a strong commitment of everyone.
03:02 That is, Chumameni, that is Nacho, that is Carvajal, the media, Valverde and Jamavinga do an incredible defensive work.
03:11 The extremists go down, suffer, sacrifice.
03:17 From this game I am going with this, that we are a solidary team with quality.
03:28 If you put the commitment to quality, something good can happen.
03:37 Alberto Pedrera, Radio Estadio de Nochebembe Acero.
03:41 I am going to read you a series of data, you tell me what they tell you.
03:44 In 35 games, there are 29 victories, 4 draws and 2 defeats.
03:47 Madrid has scored 83 goals, 15 goals to 0.
03:50 He has won all the Champions League games, a title and 28 injuries.
03:53 If you tell him this season, at the beginning, that they did not sign a striker and that he has run out of goalkeepers, what does he think?
03:59 Yes, it was impossible to achieve this.
04:05 We are achieving it, I don't want to repeat myself.
04:12 The squad is a squad that has good attitude, good commitment and quality.
04:22 I really liked how we defended.
04:25 Against a team that usually at home has to suffer, we have suffered.
04:35 We could have scored more, yes, but we could also have fit.
04:40 We left happy, taking into account that it is a small advantage, but we will have to take advantage of our stadium on the way back.
04:50 Good evening, Miguel Ángel Díaz, live from the Copa del Rey game.
04:54 There was a fight with the coach in the first half, because the ball was not thrown out.
05:00 If in the end there was an understanding between the two.
05:03 Why did the referee cancel the goal in the first minutes to Leipzig?
05:08 Why did he cancel it? The referee can ask.
05:13 What I understand is that it was an interference of the goalkeeper, who was behind.
05:20 The player was pushing the ball, which I think was a clear out of play.
05:25 We had a misunderstanding because they didn't take the ball out, which we did.
05:32 In the end he apologized to me and that's it.
05:35 Good evening, Rolvarela, live from Radio Marca.
05:39 What can you say to convince him to convert Chouameni?
05:43 He has put a lot of emphasis on defense, in a great central, although it is not the position he likes the most.
05:47 But based on playing and insisting, every day he grows more.
05:50 Yes, I think so.
05:53 I told him it was an emergency.
05:59 Let's see if I can find another way to convince him.
06:07 He does it for emergencies.
06:10 Let's see when there is no emergency, what he tells me.
06:14 How are you, Carlos? Here, on your left.
06:18 Ruben Cañizares from ABC.
06:20 Vinicius has seen a yellow card at the end of the game to protest or to keep a corner.
06:26 You have said on several occasions that you don't like that type of yellow.
06:31 And now that the yellow crosses have arrived, they can be dangerous.
06:36 What do you think of that?
06:38 It was not a yellow card to protest.
06:40 It was a yellow card because he did not take the correct distance in the ball.
06:44 It was to waste a little time.
06:47 This is not a protest.
06:49 So I don't complain about this.
06:52 How are you, Carlos?
06:55 Mario Cortegana from Athletic. Congratulations on the victory.
06:57 About Brahim.
06:59 What did you think when the first reaction was invented?
07:03 What did Carlos think?
07:06 What did he think of the game?
07:09 What do you think?
07:11 Do you think it's a muscle problem?
07:14 I think he had a blow in two parts.
07:18 In the ankle, in the ankle.
07:20 They will do it tomorrow.
07:22 I don't think it's a muscle problem.
07:25 The first thing I thought when I started the race.
07:30 I screamed, "Don't lose the ball."
07:33 The truth is that I have not lost it.
07:36 Hi Carlos, Jabran Romero, El Mundo.
07:41 What do you think of the physical condition of the team?
07:44 Lucas Vázquez and Joselo have made two changes.
07:47 One of them due to the injury of Brahim.
07:49 I don't know if he was already contemplating that change.
07:52 How has the team seen him physically?
07:54 And how do you see it at the moment?
07:56 The team is fine.
07:58 Today was a very strong test.
08:05 Leipzig plays with a lot of intensity.
08:09 With many transitions.
08:11 We have avoided this at times.
08:15 The block has always been a low block.
08:18 Obviously more compact.
08:20 We have not given them the opportunity to take advantage of their speed.
08:25 The team is very good.
08:28 We have players with a very high level of physical performance.
08:34 Hi Carlos, Manuel de Juan for El Diario ASE.
08:39 You commented in the interview that they have been able to tie and advance.
08:45 What have you seen in Leipzig that catches your attention?
08:52 Or do you think you have to put the accent on the face of the return?
08:55 Nothing new.
08:57 It is a team that attacks well.
08:59 In my opinion it is well organized.
09:01 The ends are inside.
09:03 They push with the sides.
09:05 I have two strikers with a different profile.
09:09 But very good in my opinion.
09:11 The fact that we have kept the goal to zero has been very good.
09:16 It means that we have worked well.
09:18 We have a small advantage, but we have to play the return match with the same commitment and attitude.
09:28 Hi, David Alvarez from El País.
09:33 The U19s have had a great performance today.
09:36 They have made nine stops.
09:38 The other day against Girona, the most scoring team in the league, they did not shoot once between the three sticks.
09:46 What does this difference attribute?
09:49 Is it something more of the rival, of Leipzig?
09:51 Or is it something in the defensive structure?
09:54 I think it has been more ...
09:56 We have suffered a little more the positioning of the two ends.
10:00 We had to cut this position with Camavinga and Valverde.
10:04 In the first part, Camavinga was not always in the correct position.
10:10 Then we fixed it.
10:12 But it is normal to suffer here.
10:14 Here they push a lot, attack with many players.
10:18 Suffering is normal.
10:21 It was expected.
10:23 Hi, Carlo Chion Sabani from Managing Madrid.
10:27 Congratulations on the victory.
10:29 I know it was not an easy win, like it was against Girona.
10:32 I wonder if you can explain what you thought were some of the defensive problems and why Leipzig got so many good chances tonight.
10:39 As I said, Leipzig have good players in front. They are well organized in front.
10:44 They attack with a lot of players.
10:46 So to control defensively the game was not easy.
10:52 We needed to have a collective job from everyone.
10:56 And we did. We did not concede.
10:59 And this is good for us.
11:02 Let's do the last two questions.
11:04 Hi, Carlo. I'm from Italy.
11:06 I'm from Spain.
11:09 Did you think about the idea of bringing in Ibrahim after Bellingham?
11:13 Was it just a tactical or psychological decision to give him confidence?
11:18 I think that all the times Ibrahim has played in the Judge's Square, he has done well.
11:25 He did not want to change the system.
11:28 He wanted to have both ends, Vini and Rodri, open.
11:31 He wanted to talk about the width of the pitch.
11:36 Ibrahim has had a more central position.
11:39 He changed his position a bit because he scored from the right.
11:44 But his work has been good.
11:47 Last question.
11:49 Hello, this is John Jackson from Tanzania, Africa.
11:52 You have a very big fan base in Africa.
11:55 People are expecting, probably a lot of people are hoping that Real Madrid is going to win the Champions League this season.
12:01 What is your answer to that hope for African fans of Real Madrid?
12:07 Of course, when we start the Champions League, when we are in the last 16, the hope is to try to win or to try.
12:14 But to win is really difficult, really complicated.
12:18 We have to compete as we competed tonight.
12:21 And to try to do our best.
12:28 Thank you.
