Real Madrid

Esteban Granero talked shop with Bwin.com and analysed Saturday's match in Getafe.

"The cushion we have in La Liga will not be a reason for us to relax. We know we still have to play practically the entirety of the return leg and many of our games will be like finals. The one in Getafe will be the first and we cannot afford to drop points anywhere. You win the title by winning every game."

"It is always difficult to play at the Coliseum because it is a complicated venue. Other teams are always especially motivated to face Real Madrid and Getafe also happen to play good football. They usually complucate things for us. We're having a good run in the championship we must keep up. We must showcase the same attitude and keep scoring. We have to continue to be competitive and I believe we will win if we give 100%."

"I've always felt important on this team. You don't feel important just for playing, but also for being part of this squad. Having a small squad forces all of us to be ready at all times because we can play at any given moment. I've been playing more lately and I'm happy for that."

"Mourinho connects with his players in a special way. He manages to have a tight bond with his players with great ease thanks to his character, demeanor and way of treating us. I don't know how he does it, but he always manages to keep us in top form, focused and in full support of him so that we all row in the same direction."

"Morale is as influential on the game as technique and physical preparation are. You cannot train psychologically in any specific way and it is always something with room to improvement."
