Real Madrid No2 Aitor Karanka insists there's no tension between Jose Mourinho and the club's directors.
In the post-match press conference after the 1-0 win over Sevilla, Mourinho asked the Madrid hierarchy to do more to help him defend the team with regards refereeing performances.
"The coach has no personal problem with any member of the club. As happens in any place, there will be points of agreement and points of disagreement," Karanka said.
"We decided that I should speak. Mourinho spoke the other day and now I am talking. What everyone wants is unity. We are all in the same boat, and hoping to have a good game against Levante.
"In the end what the fans want, regardless of who is in the press conferences, is that come May we are at Cibeles (a fountain in the centre of the Spanish capital where Madrid traditionally celebrate their title wins). I don't mind coming out to speak. I am proud to do so."
Karanka added: "He (Mourinho) seems great to me. The coach is very keen to take things game by game. We are going to finish 2010 two points behind Barca and we want to put ourselves on track in the cup. He looks to have more desire than ever."
