If today you also consider that the holidays have been extended, as in Getafe: “Absolutely, no. Today we have delivered. It is not our type of game because putting quality in this type of game is not possible. We have shown the face of a team that usually plays with quality and that today has put it down and fought It is what it had to be. I repeat: if you don’t fight here, you lose, as happened last year. “

Hazard, without confidence: “I hope to see Hazard with confidence soon, he has to have more confidence because he has the quality to do it. Little by little I think he will return. It is important that he is doing what he is doing, his conditions are much better than in previous months. I hope he can return soon to his best. “
