Valencia is playing really well. It has a great team. We can't ignore Real Madrid either. It's a long way behind but it's also showing signs of a revival. We can't relax because we have to recognize that both teams have improved.

We know how they play. They have a very closed style. It's important to score a goal, and as soon as possible. If they score first, just like the last game, it will be difficult to win.

Samuel said he didn't want to continue but we wanted to convince him that he should not let them (the racists) get to him.

We want to win the title as soon as we can. We don't go into any game with a calculator, we always go out to win and try and take each three points as they come.
