Speaking in an interview with the programme El Partidazo on Cope radio, Kokorelia said: "We are currently the best team in Europe, after putting together a very good run of results, and the team is looking very serious. Are we better than Paris Saint-Germain? I don't watch their matches much."
The player who has impressed him most
He added: "The best player at Real Madrid? I could pick Mbappé, Bellingham or Courtois, but I'll mention a player I like a lot and who doesn't get enough attention, Arda Güler. He plays a lot and has great quality. When he is on the pitch, the team plays better, and our passing becomes more connected. He is the player who has surprised me more than anyone else."
Vinícius's runs
Asked to compare Dani Carvajal's contribution with that of Vinícius Júnior, and how much each helps him on the pitch, Kokorelia said: "I don't think Dani helps me more than Vinícius, but what he does is more obvious. Dani makes one run back, and you find him everywhere. Vinícius makes three runs, and then there's one he doesn't run, which is the one everyone sees."
He continued: "If Vini scored three goals in every match, nobody would criticise him. What matters most to us is that he returns to his best level, because when he is at the peak of his form we have a fantastic team."
The Real Madrid player defended his teammate, saying: "Vinícius has been producing exceptional performances for five years, and it's natural that he is going through a dip right now. I think he has the desire, and he tries hard in training, and that is what matters."
