Daniel Carvajal has said he was pleased to get the three points against Real Sociedad on Saturday and get off to a good start in an important week for Real Madrid.
Los Blancos take on Sevilla during the week at home before heading to the Vicente Calderon next Saturday in what will be crucial clash in the title race. The 10-time Champions League winners haven’t beaten Los Colchoneros in five attempts – since their famous win in Lisbon last May. They were recently dumped out of the Copa del Rey by Diego Simeone’s men.
Speaking to the media after the 4-1 over David Moyes’ side, Carvajal said it was important to get off to a good start this week.
“This is a very important week for us with three matches, two of them at home. Today was the first round and we won. Although we started with a slight lack of concentration, we were then able to make a comeback. Sometimes you have bad days, we are human, but today we got our form back,” he said.
He also defended team mate Gareth Bale, who was booed by some section of the home crowd after his missed a couple of easy chances.
““He is an ambitious player who contributes a lot. Last weekend he practically gave us the three points and today he provided an assist. He is really important for us. We all want to score and do well and of course James understands that,” he stated.
