“We are going to make 5 or 6 changes. I would like to give Walter Benítez the chance.”

“That Garnacho can play among the starters is a possibility.

“When a new kid comes in, we need to see how he gets along and how he understands his team mates. The trainings are worth it but it is very important to see them in the matches and these friendly matches help with that.
