“The important thing for me is that I am happy to be here. I knew that it would be difficult because it is all new for me.
“What matters for Madrid is doing well on the pitch and that is what we are trying to achieve. I am only thinking about working hard. That is the only way to get things done.”
On Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal: “They will play if I think we need them. It does not mean anything to me that they could pick up a suspension,” he added.

“It is true that they are on four yellow cards and will be suspended for the derby if they get another booking, but that is not important to me.
“I am only thinking about Malaga and will play the best possible team.”
“We have recovered well and are ready.
“It’s a tough and very good opponent. Malaga is a great team so we will have a difficult game just like the Roma match, but it’s the same every weekend.
“The important thing is to be prepared from the first minute.
Malaga’s Miguel Torres says they can get better off his former team.
“We can show the work we’ve been doing during the majority of play in matches, prove the team’s sacrifice and the desire we have to compete against the big teams.
“We’re up against a major rival and I hope it will be a highly-contested game. If we achieve a good result it will be because we’ll have played a near-perfect match.”
“It’s not going to be an easy match, it will be about collective growth, not individual, and I hope we interpret well what is required of this type of game
