While commenting on his own position, former Liverpool boss said that he cannot stop stories about him in press, and again acknowledge the display of his players. And said that he has no fear losing his job, as per according to the Spanish media, he could be sacked in the after match Valencia draw, which is later confirmed by Real Madrid
“You’re entitled to ask the question but I think it is misguided. It’s a waste to only see the result,” he replied when it was pointed out Madrid missed the chance to pull Barcelona back after their Catalan derby draw with Espanyol.
“The effort made by the team deserves praise more than anything else. I can’t help that there’s speculation. What I can help is that the team works as they have done today.
“The team has made a great effort but unfortunately hasn’t gotten the three points.”
