Álvaro Morata, Atlético de Madrid player, This Tuesday he presented his foundation’s charity golf tournament and reviewed various current events in front of the media.
It even got to the point of insulting you…
“I haven’t even seen it, to tell you the truth. I’ve already said, I can’t control everything people say about me. I’m very happy this year with how things are going, we have a great group, a good team selection too and that’s what matters. Others can affect me to a certain extent, but I can’t please everyone.”
Now he looks more mature before the criticisms
“Yes, sure. It’s a shame that I’m having this moment now at the age of 30, that we’re losing strength. But there are many examples that races last longer and longer. I’m fine, I’m beautiful. physical and mentally and therefore “I was able to finally understand that I can’t play for what people think.”
They told him that he was selfish for a purpose not allowed in Norway.
“It was the same goal as in Atlético-Feyenoord, the same offside. I wouldn’t have allowed it either if I didn’t touch it. I knew it was from the defender and that he wouldn’t allow it, I was in the same position as Ansu. It’s the instinct. If I don’t score goals it’s because I don’t score goals and if I push him to score it’s because I’m selfish. I can’t control what everyone says.”
Morata’s choice?
“No… Better that about the selection of Gavi, of Pedri, of Lamine, of all the young people there are. Above all, it should be the National Team of all the Spaniards. When we are with the people we notice of us. it is a lot and we will need them to be with us in the Euro Cup and in the following years. We have come from a transition that has not been easy, we have behind us the best players in the history of our country. It is complicated, but there are reasons to trust and players like “They have a bright future and the present of the National Team.”
Aitana Bonmati misses the extra support from the men’s team.
“If he says, it’s because he feels that way. The men’s team helps the women’s team a lot, it’s not just those who come out, it’s been a long time. I’m the captain and I’m in charge of seeing all those things, this has been going on for years. helping and if you have something to tell us or that we can help with, you know we are available.
Do you understand that the referees call you some fouls?
“I know that refereeing is difficult. I often put myself in the shoes of referees, I talk to them after games and I know that it is a very difficult job, even more than us. It is complicated. There are many times depending on how you play in a team or other you see it one way or another.
Do they whistle differently to Madrid and Atleti?
“There are many more players who can answer. I didn’t really answer either, they each have their own thoughts or what they will write.”
But is the relationship with the referees easier in Madrid?
“Same. They always know what I think. I work a lot to improve many things, I have to work on body language. Sometimes it seems like I’m more nervous than I really am, because then I don’t respect them. It’s very difficult to be a referee and have my highest respect.”
Do you see the option of winning a title close to Atlético?
“It’s impossible to see it closely, there’s almost a whole season left. It’s true that in the team we have an amazing atmosphere, all the people who work at the club are the same. It’s important. It doesn’t make you feel. close, but the sensations in the locker room are positive and that certainly helps.
Which would you enjoy the most?
“The Champions League is the Champions League and for Atlético it will be fantastic. The League must also be incredible to win with Atleti, even the Cup or the Super Cup. We have to fight for all the title, we have the squad for it and we will give it our all.”
Are you staying at Atleti?
“It’s impossible to say that because we don’t know what will happen in the future. This summer I was in eight different teams and I’m still here. I’m very happy and I’ve said it many times, We can have a good season . , I hope so and we have a lot of confidence.” .
Lesson learned from the previous break, what Simeone says.
“From the next training session we will talk about it. We know what happened to us in Valencia and what is at stake this weekend.”
What do you think Atleti will renew Cholo?
“It’s not a decision I had to make, but I’m happy because he deserves it, because nobody represents Atleti more than him and I think he’s the perfect coach for Atlético de Madrid.”
