""They're all good, but we'd like to play against the usual starters. To enjoy them and then when we win (smiles) it'll be even more of a big deal," he told Marca. "It's a match to enjoy and, of course, to compete in, because nobody likes to lose in this sport. We're going out there and trying to win, and hopefully the best players can be there to enjoy it too. "It's better that he [Yamal] he plays. It would be wrong not to see him on the pitch.""
""That our motivation is important," he added. "To play a very serious, very tough game, to make things difficult, not to be afraid and to be brave, which doesn't mean we're going to do crazy things, but you're going to experience situations where you have to make decisions and if they're made out of fear, well, many times they hurt you.""
