Real Madrid

Bernd Schuster was satisfied with Real Madrid's performance against Hamburg.

It's important to win these matches.
It is easy to see that we are having trouble finding our rhythm, but we've got the talent. It is time to suffer against teams who have been training longer such as Hamburg, who in two weeks begin their season. We were more fresh in the second half after making some substitutions.

How did you find Robinho?
We had to give him minutes because he had trained for several days. He'll be fully integrated little by little. He will play some tomorrow as well. It is important that he finds his form as quickly as possible.

Have Real Madrid really signed Van der Vaart?
I don't know. I don't have that information.

Will any of your internationals play tomorrow?
No. It's hard to return from vacation and immediately start playing. I played in many tournaments when I was a player. It is now the preseason and I don't want to run any risks, especially having won this match and having players who have only been in training camp for a week.

Do you want Cristiano Ronaldo to play for Real Madrid?
Ask any coach here and he will say yes. He's a player that all coaches want on their team. He's a great player. Because Real Madrid demands winning, it always needs the best.

Will any players leave if Van der Vaart is signed?
I'm not too worried about that. We'll have to deal with it when it happens. I am only thinking about these matches and our trip to Colombia, where people are waiting to welcome us with open arms.

Will Robinho leave Real Madrid?
I have spoken to him and he knows how important he is to our project. He's a phenomenal player and we're not thinking about whether he is going to leave or not. He is working hard and today played for the first time, during which we saw the real Robinho.
