Today marked the fifth anniversary of Marcelo's debut with Real Madrid. The Brazilian and Rafael Varane talked to the media in the mixed zone about the victory over Granada.
Marcelo
"I want to stay here many more years. I've always enjoyed myself here and today was very special for me, especially due to the victory. I give my all in every training session and match because I feel very proud to wear this shirt. I fight ot play many more games."
"Tonight's victory is important. We knew how to react. Our Copa del Rey match against Malaga will be complicated and we must rest well in order to fight for a victory and reach the next round."
Varane
"I'm glad to play and give good performances. Sergio Ramos is a very good player and we compliment each other to perfection. I hope to be a centre back here for the next ten years and that what Mourinho said comes true. The manager helps me improve and he knows exactly when he must use me. We centre backs can't afford to make any mistakes. It is a difficult position, but I continue to improve with the help of my teammates."
