Aymeric Laporte He spoke before the duel that will face Spain in Switzerland. The team will face the Swiss team on the second day of the Nations League, after a draw against Serbia. The central defender spoke about the load of matches, stressing that, despite the load of matches, they want to “be” on all of Luis de la Fuente’s lists, “fighting for everything.”
The footballer was asked about his season in Saudi Arabia and whether the European Cup helped him vindicate himself, despite being in a minor league – in quotes – like the Saudi league: “Always winning a trophy like the European Cup vindicates you as a player. . . ” That suited me very well. Over time, with all the games I’ve played in the national team, I haven’t given anyone much reason to doubt me. I’m very happy with what we’ve achieved and on an individual level as well. The game I’ve shown over the years… Yes, it’s done me good.
French but naturalized Spanish, Laporte He has been a regular in the national team in recent years. That is why he was asked about his weight in the dressing room: “I feel like an important player, like many in the team. The coach shows us that we are all capable of anything. There are no substitutes or starters. I feel privileged. Having more minutes, I feel like an important piece. We must continue and I hope for a long time.“.
The footballer was also asked about the busy schedule and the load of matches. He did not hesitate to point out that they had not “I spent a lot of time on vacation” but that the team, despite the tension of the matches, always demands the best. “A draw is like a defeat. We are a winning team. We have just won a European Championship and the demands are maximum. “Sometimes we have these kinds of games where they fall back, especially in the second half, and that doesn’t give us a chance to win the game,” he said.
On his future and the possibility of playing in the Real Madrid, Laporte indicated that “there has been no approach, no rapprochement”, but did not rule out the possibility of returning to our League: “Today I managed to be here, being in Saudi Arabia. It is a country far from my environment and my family. It is something he thought about when I left. We will surely have to think about whether to return or not. Now they have not gotten too close and are looking to the future, If the teams arrive, it will be analyzed and there may be opportunities.“.
Laporte speaks to Switzerland
Spain will face Switzerland on Sunday. Laporte assessed the rival team, specifying that he follows them thanks to the fact of having shared a dressing room with Akanji: “In recent years, I have had Akanji As a partner, that’s why I pay more attention to Switzerland. They have very good players. “I hope I can beat them tomorrow.”
But Laporte He did not want to miss the opportunity to throw a dart at the calendars. However, he acknowledged that footballers want to play everything, regardless of the load they have: “Both in the national teams and in the clubs, you want to compete. You do not want to be a substitute or not be on the list. Despite 30 or 90 games a year. It is difficult to keep up with this pace. There are a lot of games, a lot of travel and, if you raise your hand, some could talk to the coach, we are free to communicate with him, if someone has a problem, raise your hand and he will see it, he is open to anything. But as competitors, who are the majority, we want to be here and fight for everything.”
