Liverpool slots
“Liverpool is a team with a new coach after many years with Klopp. Now with Arne Slot they are a very dynamic, offensive team, with the same dynamics. With a lot of pressure, a lot of arrivals, good counterattacks and lots of front speed.
Anfield
Playing at Anfield for them is a plus. They will definitely expect us because they lost in the final in Paris and in the round of 16 in 2023. They want a little revenge and we hope to win.”
Liverpool player to watch
“Salah is a special player. He makes a difference in Liverpool, he is very good and we have to keep a close eye on him.”
Hobbies
“I have my routines before the games, I make stretchers, I warm up in the locker room… Before the games or when we score a goal I touch the right post and the left post with my feet and then with my fists. I hit the crossbar to concentrate and focus, to activate the brain and play again.
The pressure
“In my career, I approach every match the same way. Nerves and adrenaline change in the final, that’s true, but for me every match has the same importance, the same value, especially in LaLiga, where the every match is three. I keep the same concentration and the same habits.
Favorite stadiums
“In Spain San Mamés and Benito Villamarín, there is always a good atmosphere there. I also liked the atmosphere in Munich last year, it was the first time I played there. A field I want to play and I have never been to. is Dortmund” .
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
“I am going to retire, with great sadness. I hope to stay connected to Real Madrid in some way, maybe in the youth team or in something related to goalkeepers. It is something I enjoy and if I can continue the association with Real Madrid to help and become an ambassador or “I would be happy to be in the quarry helping the kids.”
