Carvajal: 'The team is on the right track.'
'Despite doing everything we could to score, we weren't sharp in front of goal,' said the defender.
Dani Carvajal analysed Real Madrid's performance against Barcelona in the third match of the Soccer Champions Tour. After the game, the defender said: 'In the first 15 minutes of each half Barcelona were better and we didn't start the way we wanted to. Then we got the upper hand and created more chances. The team managed to get enough of the ball and win the ball up front. It was a demanding and preparatory match. We did things well and we're adapting to the new system.'
'We weren't sharp in front of goal but we did everything we could to score. The last two goals caught us off guard and we shouldn't have conceded them. Despite this, the team is on the right track and we got quite a few things right.'
Intensity
'These games are always high intensity and everything that happened on the pitch stays there. We're looking forward to facing each other in the regular season.

The full-backs in the new system of play
'We have to give the team width and be mindful of cover. This system gives us more freedom. We have full-backs that like to get forward so that's good for us.'
A team with a present and a future
'The lads we have now are no longer promising youngsters. They are enjoying a very good present and are capable of starting for Real Madrid. We have to give them all the confidence we can because I'm sure they'll give us a lot of joy.'
