Santiago Solari, who became the interim coach of Real Madrid after Julen Lopetegui was fired, held his first training session with the main team on Tuesday and later answered questions from journalists.
S. Solari was immediately asked if he would lead the team until the end of the season. The Argentine remained diplomatic and said that he would strive to achieve the set goals day by day.
Real Madrid will play their first Copa del Rey match on Wednesday, facing Melilla, a team from North Africa competing in the third division of Spanish football.
"The idea is to go to Melilla and play with both legs," - S. Solari expressed in a press conference.
Talking about the team's situation, the specialist shared his thoughts: "The team has been dealt a blow, but it is full of champions. The situation is definitely not easy, but we have the desire to change it."
"Working at Real Madrid is a great opportunity. This club is above everything. I played here, worked in various positions, and I know what an indescribable feeling it is.
Currently, it's not easy at the club, but that's where character comes in to change everything. There is not a single player in the main team who is not worthy of playing there.
Our goal is to fight for victory tomorrow," - S. Solari spoke in a press conference that lasted less than 10 minutes.
