Nacho sits alongside his current coach Santiago Solari for a traditional pre-match presser ahead of the Viktoria Plzen match. That's what the defender has to say, as quoted by ESPN FC reporter Dermot Corrigan.
Lopetegui
'Lopetegui is one of best coaches I have had, a great coach, and whatever he does [next] he will have success for sure.'
Will Solari stay?
'It is never easy when a club changes a coach. Solari comes from within and has started well. The players are happy with him but it is not our decision to make.'
Current mood at Madrid?
'We are picking up confidence bit by bit. Not easy at Madrid when you go a few games without winning. But now we have won two on the bounce, with two clean sheets, and are feeling better.'
Vinicius' progress
'Bit by bit [Vinicius] is getting used to life at Real Madrid. It is not easy to be a starter at Madrid, with all the pressure that comes with that. With calm and patience and the help of everyone he can be a great player.'
Are Madrid looking for a new defender?
'At Real Madrid we are used to hearing names - all through the year. When you have a bad run, it's not easy. But we're all here to fight for this jersey. If a new defender has to come in, I’d like it to be someone from here, like Mario [Hermoso].'
