The Real Madrid boss was not satisfied with the performance and commitment his players displayed in the second-half against Eibar in their previous fixture. When he was asked for his views on the matter, the Frenchman replied.

"We have had games where we started very well and we scored two or three goals in half an hour. It makes it difficult for us to maintain this line, it is what happened against Eibar. We know the strength we have and I don't know if we want to kill the game quickly."

He then added,

"We have the quality to start strong and to resolve as soon as possible. If we enter the field well and with intensity we are very strong. I can be upset and it is normal, I am the coach and I want to see my team always play well. What happens in the locker room stays there."
