"Above all, we take fewer risks. We are more vertical now and we rely on that a little," he said. "We stay compact in defence and in attack we try to be more clinical and be more effective."Asensio then praised Solari's communication, saying the coach was clear with what he expected from his players. "For now, as far as I see, he doesn't talk much," he said. "But the words he says are always effective and he gets to the point telling each of us what he wants from us."He gives off tranquillity and confidence, which is important, especially considering the circumstances we were in." Madrid make the trip to Eibar on Saturday in their first game after the international break, before travelling to the Stadio Olimpico three days later to face AS Roma in the Champions League.</blockquote>
