Pre-Rayo press conference | April 22, 2016
- Kick off: Saturday, April 23 at 4pm CEST (✈️)

The support of Ramos to renew
“All I can say is thank you. I played with Sergio and we have a very good relationship. He’s our captain, he knows the club well. We both know perfectly well that my role is to give my best to ensure the team plays well and wins games. That’s all that matters at this club. Well, not only that, but it’s very important”.

Cristiano’s injury
“He won’t be with us tomorrow. He’s had an ultrasound and an MRI scan. It’s nothing serious, but he’s got a strain and he can’t play tomorrow. We’ll monitor it in the coming days. He always wants to play. If you play him tomorrow, it could work out, but he’s staying at home and we’ll see on Tuesday. From time to time you need to rest, but to have a player who always wants to play, help the team, and want more… it’s fantastic for a manager. There’s a lot of good to come from this knock. He knows he can’t play tomorrow, even if he wants to. He is focused on Tuesday’s match. Even if tomorrow was a final, I don’t think he’d play, it’d be a big risk”.

Cristiano Ronaldo untouchable
“Untouchable because of what his numbers show. He deserves to be untouchable. We need to be talking to the players constantly, considering that sometimes a player needs a rest. He gets a rest when he doesn’t play, and he does it brilliantly, perfect.”.

Varane
“I think Varane has been playing very well. He has shown what he can do and has enough confidence to play for Madrid and France.He had some problems when he returned from his injury, but he is very serious and professional. He always wants to improve. He is an extraordinary guy who is doing very well and I am happy with him.”

James
“I don’t see any problems with James – he is an important player. James is important for us. He played well and scored a goal against Eibar and Getafe. He obviously wants to play more, but that’s the same for every player who doesn’t play all the time. Of course, we have 24 players and I can only pick 11. Sometimes it looks like I always have to make three changes in a game, but I will only do so if I think it is necessary. I am the coach and I have to make decisions.”
