Valverde's speech↓

How does Real Madrid cope with the European Super Cup?

Valverde: "Very much looking forward to it and wanting to start the season on the right footing. We are all very excited."

How is Mbappe doing? Can Carvajal win the Ballon d'Or?

Carvajal: "I enjoyed my break, personal honours are secondary, although exciting."

Valverde: "I will always follow the coach's instructions. I will do my best wherever the team needs me."

Mbappé as a teammate and player

Valverde: "He is one of the best players in the world. He will contribute a lot."

What is life like without Kroos?

Valverde: "We know what he meant to football and Real Madrid. I grew up around him and every word, every advice was an honor. It is an honor for me and my family to inherit his number. I will try to give the best of myself as a player, person and teammate. He is missed very much in the locker room, but life must go on."

Is the schedule full?

Carvajal: "It makes absolutely no sense. Considering competitions like the Club World Cup, plus the international break, it's impossible to play 72 games! The quality of the games would drop."

Valverde: "I agree with Carvajal, we South Americans fly 12 hours round trip. This year we have less time to train, but we try our best. Our bodies are overloaded."

Ancelotti: "What the players think is the most important. They are the ones who have to fly around."
