“I’m happy because the team has worked hard and shown character”, he added.


After making a winning start to life on the Real Madrid bench, Solari spoke to the media after the match against Melilla: “I don’t like to put a mark on the performance. The team played with a smile on their faces, they were keen and committed. The final score is a result of that. It wasn’t easy, but we worked hard and played with those characteristics. The pitch was heavy and they pressed very high”.

“We have to be happy. The players are committed to the shirt and to the fans who are with them. I’m now a part of this group”.

Vinicius Jr.
“He played the ninety minutes, he is a great young talent who has just arrived. He’s living in a new country, adapting to another style of football and to a new world at Real Madrid. We can all see his talent, but football is made up more things. I’m happy with the whole team, which has worked hard”.
