Aymeric Laporte in charge of facing the press with coach Luis de la Fuente this Saturday in Geneva, ahead of the Nations League match that Spain will play against Switzerland, and highlighted how much he has become a part of this team. “I feel like an important player, like many others. The coach trusts us, he shows us that we are capable of anything. There are no substitutes or starters, although there are repeats. I feel privileged and having more minutes like I have now I feel like a piece important. I hope it continues for a long time,” he said when asked about his weight in the locker room and if he feels like a captain.
Although it is located in Arabia, Laporte continue to have the confidence of Luis de la Fuente and at the moment he is not thinking about returning to European football, although he is not ruling it out either. “Obviously it is a country that is very far from my environment, we think about its day and it will surely be something in the balance to reflect on in the future. If something comes it will be analyzed,” he explained, pointing out that during the summer nothing at Real Madrid despite the fact that there is speculation about his signing for the white team.
He also spoke Laporte about how overloaded the calendar is and the possibility that there are players asking not to be called up to rest. “Both in teams and national teams you always want to compete. You never want to be substitute or be left out of the list. When you’re competitive like that, you want to play every game. It’s hard to keep up with this rhythm, a person with confidence will definitely talk to the coach, who gives a lot of freedom to talk to him, but as competitors, which is the majority, we want to be here and in our club fighting for everyone,” he said in relation to this.
Looking ahead to this Sunday’s clash, Laporte is optimistic. “These past years I had Akanji as a teammate, who is a very good friend of mine, and that’s why I paid more attention. They have very good players and they have a very good team. Hopefully tomorrow we can beat them,” he explained.
Finally, Laporte He slipped that the grass on which the match will be played does not seem to be in the best condition. “I’ve seen the field from the outside and it seems to be a bit affected in many places. We will have to be very attentive to the bounces of the ball and not to slip. There are many factors at play that are quite dangerous, especially in the way of defense, it can be detrimental to both,” he concluded.
