Here are the key things that he had to say: A good moment for Villarreal \u201cWithout a doubt. The team has made a good start to the season. We\u2019re in a good place and we\u2019re continuing to work to extend the good run and to be able to go into the international break with another win.\u201d A lot of playing time \u201cI\u2019m very happy. All players want minutes and continuity and I\u2019m getting them. It\u2019s something to be satisfied with. I\u2019ve worked hard from the start, trying to quickly pick up the concepts that the coach wanted. I\u2019m trying to repay him on the pitch for the confidence he\u2019s showing me.\u201d On Marcelino \u201cHe is a very demanding coach. I\u2019ve come to a new team and I had to get used to his concepts. The head coach has been very attentive so that the new players adapt as quickly as possible to what he asked for\u2019.\u201d His role as a full-back \u201cIt\u2019s a demanding position where you cover a lot of kilometres. That\u2019s why I try to rest well and recover as well as possible. I\u2019m in good physical shape.\u201d A recently-defeated Real Madrid \u201cNow they\u2019ve lost a game, it looks like they\u2019re on a bad run. Madrid are always a very difficult opponent. However, we have to focus on what we have to do and follow what we are doing. We have the capacity to play a good game and get a good result at the Bernab\u00e9u.\u201d A wounded Real Madrid, the toughest rival \u201cPlaying Real Madrid is always complicated. Even more so when they\u2019re coming off the back of a loss. That makes them even more dangerous. We need to be on maximum alert, not concede chances to prevent them from scoring against us and try to find our own.\u201d Villarreal, strong away from La Cer\u00e1mica \u201cThe team has improved a lot and we need to keep that up. The opposition don\u2019t create so many chances against us, although the chances they do create are still quite clear-cut. We need to improve in that area. The team is working on that. We\u2019re going with the same idea of being ourselves, of being a brave team away from our own ground and going for the game as we have done in other games.\u201d Personal sensations \u201cI\u2019m really enjoying being here. I\u2019m very excited to be in third position and to be able to play in a team like this, which allows you to be in the top positions.
