Valverde: "We were patient and found the goal"

Fede Valverde analysed Real Madrid's
Position on the pitch
"The coach asks me to try to connect with the winger playing alongside me, to try to make one-two passes, to follow the ball and drive forward. Never stand still. Today we tried to play much more down the left, because according to what we had seen in the videos and what the coach had asked for, we were going to find much more space, we were going to have more players free. When Vini Jr. came on down that wing, we created a lot more. He attracts a lot of defenders, which gives other players much more space to play. After that, we worked well”.
On Mbappé
"Try to enjoy it, give him a lot more passes, let him enjoy himself like the other forwards. Let him be as close to the goal as possible to score as many goals as possible. I'm always happy when anyone scores a goal because it gives us all the victory."
The coming week
"It's important now to rest after this match, which was quite tough. It's a week in which every player wants to play these matches. When you're a kid, you dream of playing these matches. We're going to really enjoy the Champions League match we have against Juventus, which for me is going to be a very nice evening with our fans, and then prepare for the big match which is what we all want".
