Pablo Laso and Velickovic analysed Real Madrid's victory in Seville.
Laso
"Our attitude was positive from the start and we broke the game with our defence. You really want to win the game that follows two straight defeats. It's easy to say the team doesn't defend when the game has few points. We find it harder to run if we don't defend well and we have to look for other options. We're happy because everyone helped out. Everyone did well."
"The Copa del Rey is a very attractive championship. The eight best teams in Spain face each other in one weekend. We'll have to recover to be fit to play it because it will be an open tournament."
"Our game with Fuenlabrada will be tough and difficult. They always maintain their competitive nature despite losing players. They will be very ambitious to win the Copa."
Velickovic
"This is a very important victory for us just before the Copa del Rey. There are no easy games, but we earned a solid victory tonight, which will be important in future games."
"Every minute I play is important because I missed three months. I have to take things slowly and develop my game in each game."
"We've faced Fuenlabrada three times this season and know them well. There are no easy wins against them because they are resilient and always fight to the end. Facing them in the Copa will be complicated."
