There are two more weeks. Now we will rest for a few days and next week we will do some physical work.
The team is great, we won LaLiga deservedly.
Los Blancos are unbeaten in all competitions since January with the Spanish club’s young talent leading the way.
“This team has a lot of talent. It has a lot of quality youth. We have an opportunity to mark an era in the future by taking into account the value of youth.”
The coach also gave an update on the future of Germany midfielder Toni Kroos, who returned to the Germany squad after a three-year absence, as his contract in Madrid expires at the end of the season.
“Now we are not worried about what he will do, neither me, nor the club, nor Tony. Until June 1, that is the second problem. Now we are thinking about winning the Champions League.”
“A Ballon d’Or for Kroos? It can happen, anything can happen. If he wins the Champions League and Euro. I think he can do double. Germany can win with Kroos,” he said.
