The goal-line technology that could disappear in Spain

“Goal-line technology? I think it’s important. A lot of things have improved since the introduction of VAR but they need to do better.”

The summer transfer window and the search for a striker

“Reinforcements for next season? We will do what we have to to improve the team. You don’t have to worry about that. A new striker? We are working on it. I won’t say names now. Joselu? I like a lot, but also Aspas and Morata. I like those who score goals.”

La Liga record

“La Liga? We lost focus after El Clasico. 12 points away…they had more continuity. The players weren’t up to par after the World Cup in January.”

The problems this season

“We haven’t had any problems in attack this season. We’ve scored the most goals [en Liga]. We had problems in defence.”

Nacho’s future

“Nacho? He’s still thinking about his future and what he’s going to do. The club have spoken with him about renewing and now the decision is in his hands.”

The performances of Tchouaméni

“Tchouameni was very good in the first part of the season, but after the World Cup he dropped his level. He is very important, he was spectacular in the first months.”

Mendy’s injury and the left-back position

“Ferland Mendy’s injury has complicated our season. We have to trust him and [Fran Garcia] will be very good. We don’t have to make a lot of changes in defence.”

His record at Real Madrid

“If I take stock of La Liga I feel bad but if I take stock of the four years at Real I would sign him with ten titles. I won 2 Champions League titles in 4 seasons here. I would sign at new.”

The future of Hazard

“Hazard? He has a contract. If he’s not happy, he should ask the club [de partir]. If he is happy, he will stay. It’s like that for all players.”
