"When you are on a winning streak you feel very confident. As for now the championship is far from finished. There are lots of games ahead. The fact we won against Real Madrid was important for us. Yes, we will arrive in good spirits. And we hope to continue this way."

"It is true we started with difficulties in our defence. We have rectified a few details. Nowadays, we are more solid in our defence. We arrive to the Club World Cup and it will be different because we don't know our rivals. But when you are confident then you can face anybody."
