VINICIUS PRESS CONFERENCE
The 14
I am very happy about the last Champions League and want to win another one. The mister says that we have to defend our title well and do well for Madrid.
evolution
I leave that to the people. My head is clear and I want to be the best version of myself and I’m sure I can do great things again. The great players do them for a long time and I would like to do it for a long time.
their numbers
Of course I want to score more goals, but the main thing is for the team to keep winning. I am 22 years old and I want to evolve for this club that has given me everything. And for our people.
Celtic
A great team, with people who push a lot here. We have already videos of his 4-0 against Rangers. It’s my first time here and I want to play a great game and leave with the first three points in the Champions League
spanish passport
The club and the people of Madrid have always given me many things. I arrived when I was 18 years old and had just started my career and now I am 22 and it is very clear that people love me very much. I love being in Madrid and my family too, I hope to continue for a long time.
The jokes
I listen to the people who love me, who are with me every day, my family. I don’t care, I want to do things for my people, that’s what I work for and what I stop doing to be a great footballer. I hope to continue making goals and assists and continue to be here for a long time like Modric, Marcelo, Karim or Marcelo, who were here for a long time.
The group of Champions
A team that doesn’t stop running, that fights very hard. We have to watch some more video but we have things very clear, we have to play as usual and let the rival adapt to us.
Room for improvement
I have to improve in many things, I want to continue growing until the last day of my life. My teammates teach me a lot, Karim, who is 34 years old, continues to grow and that gives me a plus. It is very difficult, especially in the biggest club in the world.
The public of the Park
I love these games, playing with full stadiums and a lot of pressure. All the Madrid players love it and we hope it will be a great game.
ANCELOTTI PRESS CONFERENCE
The Champions returns
The match is going to be complicated, they, like us, are in good dynamics, they play with a lot of intensity. We are prepared, we know them. Ready to start the group well.
Respect
In this competition we will always be respected, because history will speak for this club. We started it with great enthusiasm, but we cannot think much further about the group. And then see what happens after the World Cup.
The world Cup
Until the World Cup we won’t have a problem, the players are ready and wanting to play the World Cup as well, but the question is how the players will come back after the World Cup. As of today we cannot know.
the forecasts
I’m not surprised, I see it as a good sign. Last year we had even fewer options in statistics, this year we have a little more. Like last year, we are going to compete until the end. And I hope it’s also in the final.
Easy group?
It’s not an easy group, we know all the teams well. Celtic are doing well and we have to respect them, like the other two. We have the memory of last year before the Sheriff, in this first phase there are many surprises. I think it will be a balanced group.
Rotations
Yes, it can be. It depends on what is meant by less common players (laughs)
Your experiences in Glasgow
We played Celtic in the group and then in the round of 16, we lost here and then we won in Milan after extra time. A magnificent stadium and a great atmosphere. As I love this sport, I love that my team plays in these atmospheres
Modric
There is no explanation. He is a fantastic player, with a great attitude, great quality, he has hardly had any injuries and this means that at almost 37 he is still one of the best midfielders in Europe. If he’s going to celebrate your 37th with a big party, I should be invited.
