Carvalho heads behind in his second youth

The Madrid came to a crucial encounter with Valencia with a defense that no one could have imagined when the season began. Not one of the headlines in the running, with Carvalho, with the fingers his minutes this season, in the center of defense alongside another alternate. However, the Portuguese showed that despite his 34 years, with office and work you can always make up for the inactivity and jumping into the field to put out any fire. "Injuries were a problem, but I have time to work well and was ready to play," noted Portuguese.
The Real Madrid players do not give eliminator sentenced. They know they have taken a giant step, but do not rely on a team that gave them a lot of trouble at the Bernabeu. Carvalho, who is returning to regain some prominence to the heavy casualties in the rear, remember that is another duel in Mestalla: "This result is not definitive. It was important not conceding a goal and Valencia will have to make to have it easier, "noted center, who is not afraid to be self-critical. "We could have done a little better. We could have done a third goal but we won fairly. To win the Cup you have to be more consistent in the league and that's what we want. "

7 games: one League, Champions League and another five of the Portuguese Cup sum

I train every day for it, "the defense that the referee does not see that last night was as unfortunate:" In the last few games we have done with one less. In this game the referee has been good for both teams. "
Butragueño, meanwhile, also blamed the defeat of Valencia to arbitration:? "This is football. When you have chances at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid and desaprovechas, then what happens is past, that the Madrid takes his. The team has offered very good signs "
