Casemiro

“With Zidane he had a lot of relationships with the players, a father-son relationship. Like a friend. Solari does the same, he is being fair to everyone.”

“Of course we have respect for the rival.”

“I go for the ball as if it's the last.”

“Madrid always come back.”

“If we attack, we all attack.”

“For me it's a pleasure to be trained by Zidane. I am just very thankful for all he has been asking me to do and for helping me to evolve.”

“If you have a good midfield, you have a good team.”

“You have to respect Zidane, he's in the history of football.”

“They are among the three best in the world: Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar are the three best players in the world and I'm happy I have one of them playing alongside me.”

“You have to win on the ball.”

“When you hear the Champions League anthem, it gives you goosebumps.”

“Casemiro has to cover the gaps left by everyone. That's balance for me; to make sure the game doesn't go mad.”

“When I left Porto, I knew that I wanted to return to Real Madrid and play.”

“When you lose, you all lose.”

“This is football. There are days when you draw, there are days when things don't go well.”

“The shirt doesn't win you the game.”

“We know how important both competitions are, especially the Champions League since it's such a special competition, but we want to win the league too. We take it game by game - concentrate on our league games, win them and then start thinking about the Champions League.”

“At Real Madrid there is always pressure to win.”

“I had a dream to play in the Champions League, so every time I play for Real Madrid, and in the Champions League, I try to enjoy it as much as possible because it's the realisation of a dream.”

“Lopetegui helped me a lot, and I played all the time.”
