Julen Lopetegui Pre-Match Presser:
“The only recipe is hard work, persistence and belief. We're up against opposition who have won two in a row and have improved in many respects"
"We're very excited about the game, we're playing in front of our fans and we want to win it."
“We're focusing on our strengths to make things happen on the pitch and we're confident we'll come through the game with a positive result"
Nervousness?
“We want to play well, create chances and take them, and make sure the opposition have fewer opportunities."
January window
“The solution lies in the fact I have absolute confidence in all the players and we're convinced we're going to have a good season."
Getting injured players back
“We didn't pick up any injuries during the international break and we're coming back with more guys fit than when we went away."
Gareth Bale
“He's managed how he felt very sensibly, he hasn't forced himself with the national side."
Isco Alarcón
“He's a exceptional player. He had appendicitis but he's got over that now. He's another weapon for the team. Us coaches love to have as many players available as possible. We're thrilled that he's recovered and ready to play again. We'll decide tomorrow”.
Karim Benzema
“Physically, he had a bit of discomfort but he's had two full sessions back with the team. We'll see how he's feeling. Psychologically I think he seems perfectly fine”.
Toni Kroos
“He's a player who can adapt to playing different positions and has had some amazing games playing as a centre midfielder”.
