Brahim: “I'm in great form at the moment and I know I can still give a lot more”
The forward spoke about his derby goal to Realmadrid TV: “Everyone was up for it and I saw that I had the chance to score, I won the race and finished well”
Brahim came off the bench and helped Real Madrid to victory in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup as the forward scored the team’s fifth goal: The madridista was interviewed on Realmadrid TV from Riyadh and analysed his goal and his current form: “I'm in great form at the moment and I have to keep it up. I know what kind of player I am and I know I can still give a lot more. I'm happy with what I'm doing, but I'll be even happier with what I'm going to do.”
“We have an incredible dressing room, where we help each other and we're one big family. We support whoever needs support and give love to whoever needs it. It's unique. I'm so grateful to have a great dressing room and to see how easy it is to be with these great teammates, with these stars, at this great club and the affection I receive every day.”
On his goal against Atlético
“It was a throw-in. Everyone was up for it and I saw that I had the chance to score. I'm a fast player and I ran towards the ball. I saw that I could win the race, I got there first and finished really well. To finish the way I did makes it even more incredible. It wasn't easy because I was running quite fast, but at that moment I scored easily.”
Praise for Joselu
“He saw that I was going into space and he put it where he had to. Joselu is an incredible player, a good person and yesterday he scored and assisted. Not bad going.”
Physical side
“I'm feeling good and physically we're looking great, fine, and ready for every minute of the game. That's very important and it shows that we're all very well trained, very well prepared and physically and mentally strong.”
“You work a lot on the physical side. With what happened to my shoulder, I've managed to work even more on my upper body. We have really good staff, who tell you what you have to do and tell you what is best for each one of us.”
His second spell at the club
“I came here after some great seasons at a great club. I'm more experienced and motivated, hungry to win trophies and to give my best for the greatest club in the world.”
