"We're colleagues and have a good relationship. I've visited him, we've met, but it's a private matter. I know the truth, and I'm keeping it to myself. I won't reveal it here. We have to wait. From day one, I've enjoyed working with Deco and Bojan. We don't just analyze the first team, but also the players from La Masia."
"We talked about Casado, Bernal, and Gerard Martin when I arrived. We share the same vision. This is one of the most important weeks of our season. We have to focus on the matches. We're all in this together. We've built a team for the future. We want everything to work and give 100%."
"I have a lot of respect for Newcastle, and we have to focus on tomorrow. I'm only focused on the match. We're in a nice hotel with a good atmosphere, and we've come directly from Bilbao. I'm sure you won't ask me about that after the game."
