Daniel Carvajal spoke to the media ahead of the match in Belgrade against Serbia And Spain. The right-back will captain the Spanish team when the national team returns after being proclaimed European champions in Berlin against England.
Carvajal He began to speak the words of Vinicius: “It’s been ten years since my debut and tomorrow I can reach 50 games. I’m very happy. Regarding Vinicius, just say that we are totally against any situation of racism in stadiums. I know what Vini is suffering and we support him both internally and publicly. I think the League is improving and protocols are being developed so that the crazy people can’t return to sporting events. But beyond these people, I don’t consider that Spain doesn’t deserve to celebrate a World Cup. There is no doubt that Spain is not a racist country. Since I was little, I grew up with many nationalities in my neighborhood, in Leganés. “Spain is not a racist country.”
“It is clear that as a defender… in football, what shines is the goal. But well, to have the possibility of winning it, I am very happy, it refers to the great year I had last year. “My family and I are very proud,” he commented.
“It would be something very nice, ten years later, to step onto the pitch as captain of the national team. For me it’s something fantastic. My entourage knows what it means to me to be captain of Spain. I hope that tomorrow I can achieve it,” said the right-back.
Carvajal He also spoke about the calendar and the short pre-season he had: “The calendar is too demanding. After a summer break, I speak for myself, we have hardly been able to work. Only five or six sessions before the Super Cup. We are getting in tune with the flow of the games. Now I have a lot of energy, with a lot of desire.
The defender, who points the finger Carvajal, He commented on what he is like as a captain: “I hope that tomorrow I can be one. I try to maintain what brought me here. “I have nothing special, I just do what comes to mind at a given moment on a motivational, tactical, emotional level… I try to be a reference for the new generations, who pay a lot of attention to the captains.”
He also spoke about the level of Spanish football: “I don’t know. I think Spain is regaining the place it deserves in the world of football. Not just us, but also in women’s, in the lower levels, the Olympic Games… Europe will look at us with a certain envy.
Carvajal He also spoke about the new format of the Champions League: “It is a new format. When there is another edition, we will evaluate it. From my point of view, I think that the initial draw has a lot of influence on the general classification. In the past, you were in a difficult group and you had to go through. Now, the level of your rivals or their moment can greatly influence whether you score more points or not and the future of the next draw. It is the only one, but what I see in this format… and that there are more games.
