Santiago Solari Presser before the game against Real Sociedad:
“Footballers aren't machines. It's tough when you have to play a game every three days and we have to be ready for that and go out and compete.”
“The key thing in the league is that we continue to climb the table, we've moved up from ninth to fourth and have to keep closing the gap because it's a battle right until the end. It's in situations of adversity that your character shines through.”
“The LaLiga season and the campaign will be a battle until the end. We've got a really busy month ahead of us, because we now have a game once every three days.”
“The most important thing is that we keep our energy levels up in the matches and that we start to welcome the injured players back. It's also important that we don't pick up any more injuries.”
“I'm expecting to see an attractive team, with individual talents and Sociedad are an attack-minded side. They've recently brought in a new coach and that can always mean a change in playing style and system.”
“Marcelo has had a tough first half of the season after suffering three muscular injuries. He's gradually recovered. We then had the trip away for the Club World Cup and the Christmas break. He's gradually got back up to speed.”
”It's important that Marcelo doesn't pick up any more injuries because he's a key player for the club and this team and we have to look after him.”
“Our approach to all of the competitions always involves trying to produce high-energy and focused performances. That said, the opposition and their make-up is always different and the players aren't machines.”
“Each game involves us adopting a new approach. Nobody is involved in more competitions and has had less of a break than us this season.”
“The players give their all and are fully committed. Bale played all of the second half in Vigo with a swollen ankle. Karim is one of the most generous players I've ever come across. Lucas runs 14km each game. Carvajal has a massive heart.”
“Modric had fever and 39°C and yet he played against Villarreal. There can be no doubt about the players' commitment to the shirt.”
“It's the nature of this league, every team and each match are tough. Ours is one of the most attractive and competitive leagues in the world. Our aim is to continue to cut the gap at the top.”
“Bale? We think that it's just a minor one and that it's nothing to be worried about. He will undergo tests today and we'll know more then. We hope that he's back and involved soon.”
“Every member of the squad could feature at any time. There are some players who have a pedigree, a past and trophy cabinets full of triumphs. We also have a lot of young players who have to clock up minutes to earn a status.”
“I believe that Isco's a player with that much quality that he can operate anywhere on the pitch. Sometimes it's not all about making the difference with pace, but rather by using your quality, creativity and technique. Each player has their own qualities.”
