The Real Madrid striker was one of the stars of the evening, having signed a brace which sentenced the match. After the game, Van Nistelrooy was happy with the victory and pleased with the attitude of the team in the second half. “At halftime, neither us, nor the manager, nor the fans were satisfied,” stated the Dutchman.
“Five goals is a good result for us. We did not do well at all during the first half, but we more than made up for it during the second. We changed our mentality, played stronger, pressurised... and the goals finally came.”
“At halftime, neither us, nor the manager, nor the fans were satisfied.”
“Ecija were no pushover; they played a fine game. They pressed us with order. They took advantage of the fact that the distance between our defens¡ve and attacking lines was enormous.”
“Concentrating during the penalty shot was essential after I had missed the last one.”
“Ronaldo and I geled well. Ronie hasn't played in a very long time, but he should be calm. We are happy that he scored, but especially because we won.”
