Cristiano Ronaldo
“He has improved just as the team have. So, what can I say... This is the first time he has scored 5 goals in a game and that is good news for everyone: for him, for the team and in terms of the upcoming fixtures”.
How the game played out
“We wanted to play the full 90 minutes as if the contest wasn't over. We killed off the game in the first half but continued in the same vain in the second half. The players did well, and showed respect to the opposition by playing the same way right until the last minute”.
Physique
“The team are very fresh. Resting players for the sake of resting them makes no sense. The players will rest when they are tired and there is a risk of injury. The team are in great shape. We have never been in such good physical shape, especially not last year. I can't use 12 players. If someone isn't 100%, he won't play”.
Fans
“It's clear that when the fans are behind us like they were today it is going to help. It depends on what the players do on the pitch. Today they showed good attitude and the crowd appreciated that”.
James
“He played very well. It didn't look as though he hadn't played for two months. He showed his quality, intensity and his ability to keep possession. He is a very direct player and always shows great vision and awareness”.
Modric
“He is a decisive player in terms of moving the ball quickly. Luka has a great knack of changing the direction of the play by spreading the ball to the wings. Today we utilised the wings well, especially the left flank”.
