Diego Jabalquinto (Mallorca) / Translation by Michael J. O'Donnell
Gonzalo Higuain scored Real Madrid's first goal tonight against Mallorca and shared his thoughts on the match wth the media in the mixed zone.
"What the coach tells us in the dressing room stays there. Mourinho is a natural motivator and it shows on the pitch. We gave our all after half-time due to things turning out badly for us in the first half. Thank God we managed to win."
"I'm happy for scoring and for earning a victory that keeps us in the lead."
"We knew the match would be complicated and that we would face a Mallorca side different to last year's. We must now savour this victory and rest. There's time enough to prepare for the clash with Barcelona.
