Vini Jr.: "It's one of my most beautiful goals"
“We did really well right from the off. This is a tough place to come, but I can score whenever I play here," said the scorer of the opening goal.
Vini Jr. was named Player of the Match in Real Madrid's fixture at the Ciudad de Valencia - and it was well deserved. It's not just about his opening goal, but he posed a constant threat for the opposition defence, and reflected on his performance for Realmadrid TV: "Luka Modrić taught me to shoot like that, we miss him. I'm strong at that kind of finish, I hope I can keep scoring more goals. It's one of my most beautiful goals, I don't think I'd ever got one like that before. It was a lovely strike and I'm delighted with it."
“I'm really pleased with the performance and the win. We played really well from the off, with our pressing and on the ball. If we play like that, we're always going to win. This is a tough place to come, but I can score whenever I play here."
The derby
“We're really hungry to play. Now we have to rest up and enjoy this win. I hope we can do a job on Saturday. We've won every game so far and we want to keep it up until the end of the season so we can build confidence and win trophies, which is the most important thing."
Keys to the collective performance
“Defence, a togetherness and teamwork are key. If we keep this up, I think we'll be successful come the end of the season."
