The injured players: "I see it difficult for Dani Olmo and Asensio to be available for Tuesday's match."

The dressing room, an anecdote: "We handle the issue of the boots with a lot of calmness. Always with generosity and understanding because we are all equal and we all make mistakes. We even made jokes about it today."

Self-demand: "I ask all the players to make more effort each time because there is always room for improvement."
