The most important thing is that we worked as a team. That’s what we have to take with us for the next few games,” the defender, who is a doubt for Sunday’s game, told the club’s official website.
“We’re taking on board what Zidane wants. We’re improving and bit by bit we’re getting to the physical level the coach has in mind.”
While, Victor Sanchez has warned his Real Betis teammate that Real Madrid can make things miserable for them.
“They’re always a dangerous opponent. We have to be very strong defensively. We have to play a serious game and not allow them to create chances,” the midfielder told Espanyol’s official website.
