Ceballos: "The team persisted and was rewarded"
"When the added time was given, the fans, once again, helped us score the 2-1," said the madridista.
Ceballos entered the field after halftime in place of Asencio and played a key role in Real Madrid's victory against Rayo Vallecano. After the match, the midfielder said on Realmadrid TV: “It was a hard-fought win from start to finish. We improved as the game went on and finished in the opponent's half, with 10 of them packed inside the goal area. The team persisted, and we were rewarded with the three points, which were vital for us.”
The importance of this victory
“After the game the other day, these three points were crucial to stay in the fight for the League. We played a good match, and I think the team should continue to improve.”
How are you feeling after the incident with Pathé Ciss?
“I’m feeling a bit sore, but I’m okay; it was just part of the game. He apologized; he went for the ball, and I anticipated him slightly. I think with a couple of days of rest, I’ll be ready to continue. We need to go to Valencia and win.”
The Bernabéu
“It wasn’t easy. The atmosphere was a bit tense because we weren’t creating chances, but little by little, we improved. When those nine minutes of added time were given, the fans, once again, helped us score the 2-1. It was partly thanks to them.”
The schedule
“For us, it’s very important to rest and return with energy to train and face the match against Valencia. We have an entire week free, which we haven’t had in a while. Now it’s time to approach the matches in the best possible way, aiming to collect three points each time and go for the League.”
