On keeping consistent form…

“We have already shown this continuity, the six games prior to the defeat against Brighton indicate an even performance level. Unless we consider the defeat against Brighton a significant alteration in our form and I don’t think it is this way. I don’t think so, because I look at the performance levels of teams in a similar position to ours and there isn’t one who hasn’t had a poor performance level within five or six games. Apart from two or three teams, every team has gone through this situation.”

On fans returning for the final day…

“Of course it will be very good if that could happen. It would permit the contact between the fans and the players and how important that relationship is. It will also show an improvement in the situation in England. To be able to experience the fans at Elland Road in particular is an experience always worth living, even if the stadium will be partially occupied. It’s a way to experience how the fans behave with the players and that’s a very pleasing sensation. It’s one of the prizes, not an economic prize that is one of the most valuable things in football.”

On defensive decisions…

“Diego Llorente and Pascal Struijk have shown that they can live up to the level that the previous people who have played in this position were playing at. As you well know, there are other factors that are taken into consideration when you look at each game. In any case, what I always consider, what’s best for the team and what is best for each player that participates. There is nothing more important than to play with the participation of each player.”

On facing Harry Kane…

“Harry Kane has a stability in his performances throughout the whole campaign. To consider the performance he had against us such a long time ago, to say or look at how he’s evolved or not when he had that impact against us, it is not an exercise that is convenient because he has a regularity in his game that we don’t need to look back so far.”

On facing Gareth Bale…

“The last game is a good place to look at and judge how his form is. The qualities that he has are known by everyone and of course this last game is a point of focus given how difficult it is to score three goals. Also, taking into account that the goals he has scored showed the virtues that he has."
