"Objectively, our distance is seven points, imagining which I don't want to imagine seven that could turn into 10, obviously that would be a giant step towards our chances vanishing. But I don't want to be pessimistic. As long as it's possible, we'll go with everything we have."
"It's a very important game. It's early March, there are still a lot of points to play for. Classics are always important, but they are nothing more than that. The season is very long and there are still a lot of games to play."
