The Rojiblanco team will be, with Real Madrid, the single Spanish representative in the contest and the mattresses want to stay away from the new and prestigious contest. This was shown by the French, in an interview with FIFA.
Impressions about the new Club World Cup
“What is most excited about this Club World Cup will be the first and part of it, because, for me it’s a pride and for the club too. Ultimately, we want to reach the United States and start our first game, which will be against Paris.”
Mix in styles and cultures that will be in competition
“I believe this competition, having it, has a lot of clubs from different countries, will see us a little what has been done in every country, in every championship. The fact that I really want to see all the games because I enjoy it.
Importance of this competition for Atlético
“For us, Atleti, who is present in that contest is very important, our goal. Last year we can get in and nothing, we want to make a very good competition. We know that there will be enough people from Atleti, from Spain or other countries, who will go to see games and us, right?
The goal
“I believe that, to start the contest, Atleti just needs to think about the first three games. And then, it will see, right? But we really want to be, to play it. And we dream of big things. And, no, it would be ours to prove it in the field that we can compete against anyone and we have a level to reach the final.”
Two games play in Los Angeles
“The fact that I went to Los Angeles once or two. As you know I am very nba lover, NFL, baseball I’ve started now. So, for me it would be cool to be able to play there, but I’m not a tourist either.
Will LeBron James go to any Atlético match?
“Well, it could be. We play in Los Angeles two games, in the Rose Bowl, it could have come, so he was invited and we wanted to accept him in some training with us, why not?”
The PSG match
“Well, the first game against PSG knows that it won’t be easy, but it’s good to enter the competition against a favorite in the contest. The fact is that they play well, to a wonderful level, but I think we’re a team that can hurt them and we see it in their house where we won the game in the last second.
What does it mean to win the World Cup
“Well, winning it for me, because it happens, I don’t know, lots of emotions, too much pride. As I told you before, that the first club World Cup, because it’s always important, isn’t it? Is it special, then, this will be my physical and mental well, and prepare it as well as possible to get the best conditions and help the team to win it.”
The World Cup and the development of football in the United States
“We know that the United States is a country of sports lovers, of any sport. Football is still not very advanced there, though in MLS it looks more, there is more, the teams, then, better work, and I believe that the Club World Cup in this country, will do football for sale more, speak more in this country and not, then hope Europe and Spain. ”
What he likes about the United States
“What I like about American culture is that there is no jealousy of people. They are sports lovers, enjoy sports with their family, and nothing, that, there is no jealousy between them and what I like on the street when I go with my wife or children, because there is always good words or good actions and it is something that attracts me.”
