Marcelo reiterated the fact that the league is far from over and admitted that the team needs to improve its accuracy on goal during today’s press conference.

La Liga chances:

Of course we have a shot. It is a tough competition. A five point deficit is quite large, but very surmountable. There are a lot of matches left and I think we can make it to the end. Barcelona appear invincible but they are not. I don’t know where their weak point lies, but I think we will eventually find it.

Recent defeat:

We must learn from our mistakes. There have been some matches in which we have taken a lot of shots on goal, but the ball didn’t go in. We need to fine tune our accuracy, but we are playing well.

Cristiano Ronaldo:

He helps the team in every match. He scored a lot of goals in very few matches early in the season. He isn’t in bad form. It is just a matter of time. He may score two or three in the next match.

Playing as a midfielder:

I like playing as a midfielder, but the coach knows that I am still a left back.
