00:00We will now start the press conference with the coach.
00:06Remember, one question per intervention and before identifying yourself with your name and the one in the middle.
00:14Hello, coach. Victorio Calero live for Real Madrid Televisión.
00:18The first home game of this new Champions League.
00:21How important is the game tomorrow against a team like Lille,
00:24which has won seven of their last eight European games at home?
00:31In this new form of competition, you have to add points.
00:36We are here to add points, taking into account the value of the rival,
00:41which is a team that plays very well,
00:44that likes to play with the ball,
00:48that has young, quality players.
00:51As always, in all the Champions League games,
00:55because now in football, in all the games,
00:59you have to fight, fight, compete.
01:02We are here for this.
01:05I think we are fine.
01:08We are convinced that our level can be improved.
01:14We are ready to improve it and get to the top.
01:21At the moment of the season, where there are many games,
01:26I see the team quite well.
01:30Good afternoon, coach. José Luis Sánchez for Juve de la Sexta.
01:33I wanted to ask you about Simeone's words the other day,
01:36in which he asked for a sanction for Courtois for his celebration of the goal,
01:40after receiving the chants of Courtois, Moretti and the launch of objects.
01:43I don't know what you think of Simeone's request for a sanction.
01:45As always, I respect everyone's opinion.
01:51I think the issue is quite clear.
01:56The party has been violent.
01:59The violent cannot be in a football field.
02:04The violent cannot be in society.
02:07This is what has happened.
02:10As always, I respect everyone's opinion.
02:17What has happened has been seen by everyone.
02:23I just want to say that the violent cannot be in a football field,
02:28nor in normal and civil society.
02:34Fernando Burgos, Onda Cero.
02:39I want to emphasize a little on what the Real Madrid captain and goalkeeper said,
02:44almost equalizing the launch of objects to the celebration,
02:49which they understand as a provocation by Thibaut Courtois.
02:52How can these statements be analyzed and equate both behaviors?
03:01I repeat, talking about other things, about what has happened,
03:06is a bit like deflecting a bullet.
03:09The bullet is that the violent cannot be in a football field.
03:13I'm not talking about the violent of Atletico.
03:16The violent of any team.
03:18Football does not need this type of character.
03:22Football does not need violent.
03:25They are unnecessary.
03:27So it is better that they stay elsewhere, that they are not dangerous.
03:35I'm not talking, as I said, in general,
03:39whether it is a violent of Atletico de Madrid, Real Madrid, Barcelona or Villarreal.
03:46It does not matter, exactly the same.
03:49The violent is better that they leave us in peace.
03:58Miguel Ángel, Día de la Cadena Cope.
04:02I'm sorry to insist on the matter, but you,
04:05Courtois' behavior the other day seemed impeccable.
04:09Do you understand that Simeone, although he did not want to justify
04:14what fell behind his goal, says so?
04:19Pretend that, of course, as he turned and celebrated it,
04:23then yes, that can happen?
04:25I am respectful, I answer you, but as I told you,
04:29to answer this, Courtois' behavior,
04:33when during the game they shouted, I do not know how many times,
04:38death, is to deflect the shot.
04:40It's simple. I do not have to add more.
04:47Good evening.
04:48Good evening.
04:49A question in French.
04:51Very well.
04:52I wanted to know what was the image of Lille?
04:55What image do you have of Loss?
04:57How do you see this club?
05:00I answer you in Spanish, it's better.
05:05Lille is a great club.
05:07I think it has done very well in recent years.
05:11Many players have come out of here, of great level.
05:14I think it is still a team that competes in France very well,
05:19that competes in Europe, is in the Champions League.
05:22I have a lot of affection for the director,
05:24who has worked with me in Paris, Olivier Letang.
05:28It is a club to which I have affection.
05:35How are you, Mr. Andrés Rubio from Televisión Española?
05:38I wanted to ask you about Kylian Mbappé.
05:40It seems that he evolves well from his injury.
05:42I do not know if he will play tomorrow for a minute.
05:45Yes, he has recovered well, very quickly.
05:49The truth is that he has only trained individually yesterday.
05:53The truth is that he has not stopped for a long time.
05:57He has not lost his condition.
06:00Today we are going to train him.
06:02He will do all the training with the others.
06:05Then we will take a decision together with him,
06:08the most appropriate decision,
06:10taking into account that the last thing we want to do is to risk.
