The defeat against Japan
“It wasn’t easy at first. We wanted to win, be first and continue with the good feelings. The coach had warned us that it was the most difficult game, that it didn’t matter what we heard, that we had that clear. And that’s how it was. Then they passed The hours passed and we began to see things in a different way. We are in the round of 16 and there are some very good teams that haven’t been able to do it. That’s why we have to really think that pressure is a privilege”.

its good time
“I try to be the always, without more. Everything goes very fast and things happen to me that I could not imagine. But I have many people close to me who help me. I know where I am, who I am and where I come from.”
“I only go out to play football, to give everything on the field. It’s true that despite my age I don’t shrink, I’m not afraid of anything on a football field, I just go out to enjoy and leave everything behind. I don’t conceive of football otherwise”.

“What am I going to say! He has known me for a long time. Anything he can say will fall short.”
“I agree with the coach when he says that football is a show, a spectacle. We want Spain to be moved by us, to feel proud of the game we play. Winning only wins one. And we’re going to try, but the the road is very important and I particularly feel very proud when people praise Spanish football”.
