Mariona Caldetey: “In England I found what I was looking for”

Mariiona CaledenteAnd he is one of the stars of this eurocup, with two assists with Vicky and Alexia against Portugal and a goal against Belgium as a first warning that he has a lot to say in this contest. Recently winning the Champions League and the best player in England, his name sounded with more strength for the gold ball.

Mariona, eleven goals in two games, do they expect too much to start?

We work for there and hopefully all the games will give way but we know the difficulty of the eurocup and we also know it’s not enough, that it’s just useless. So to continue working with the same thinking, we want to continue to do it properly.

How do you try not to loosen the rhythm and not lower your arms?

It can be seen that no matter how much you have a hundred percent, any choice hurts you. We have very examples of Portugal and Belgium in countries, which we need to overcome strict matches. Now we made it as if the two games played have been easy but the truth has been so good. We know that there should be maximum attention because any game can be complicated from the group stage, a bad game will take you home.

The goal is very distributed, up to seven players scored, how do you appreciate it?

We’ve just mentioned this before, that in comparison to previous eurocups, there’s always a disability losing Spain’s goal … And now, so many players who are easy to score are great. And that’s not just a player with all that responsibility. We have many records and we can score goals in many ways and that strengthens us.

At a personal level, two assists and a goal, how do you feel?

Well, enjoyed a lot. When we play well and see that we flow as a team, we all have better time, all good things come out. I enjoyed the first two games but wanted to go more.

He started playing from the right end, a less common position, though against Belgium he changed to the left, how would this paper fit?

We have a lot of players playing more on the left and ultimately you have to adapt and change what is needed in each game and what is considered Montse most appropriately. Ultimately, anywhere, we all want to add and have to adapt. I played right and so did Pina and Athenea. The best thing is that we have many different weapons and we cannot predict that sense.

It is inevitable that his name will appear on the candidates for the gold ball, how do you appreciate being on that list?

Obviously this is an honor to talk to you good, but eventually the challenge is to win the Euro a title we have not achieved and we enjoy and so many names of this sound sound because there is a very good person. The talent in Spain is not somewhere else and to us we are better. What you have to do is to strengthen and go for that euro.

Do you think this eurocup can be decided to decide on the next golden ball?

Obviously these tournaments always decide many things. Hopefully we are good and that means the names here are stronger. Obviously this is a honor that can make a lot of illusions, but as we focus on the collective, which will lead us to safe success.

Many talk about Alexia or Aitana, it seems that the fame always falls into both of them, does it feel in the shadow?

There is also a lot of talk about them because they deserve, for everything they do, for what they contributed and what it means to us. By how ‘Ale’ started the Euro, it was seen that it was at a brutal level. It’s a team game: one day is one that carries awards and another is not, but we know we all need ourselves, from first to late and as I said before, we are getting better, stronger.

It was his year after winning champions with Arsenal, what does this title mean for the club after many years without lifting it?

The fact is that this is a rush because the league has escaped us, like glasses. In the champions we were a small return back, we seemed to be a small ball. But eventually it was a very nice moment for the whole club and hopefully we will trust to go more next year.

Is it hard to beat Barça on an emotional level?

I am not a nervous player and that day the truth is, the sensations are very rarely emotional and mental difficult. But it’s true that once the game starts you just think about the party’s plan and what you should do. I win at Barça is always hard, she has the best players but we got a game perfectly.

He was appointed best player in the English league in his first year, in front of companions like Alessia Russo, Blackstenius or Beth Mead How do you appreciate it?

Supercontent and grateful. In England they received me very well, I feel loved and appreciated and I have a great time. It’s true that this is a strange football than I have to adapt, but I learned a lot and they can easily do everything. I look forward to appreciating your work.

How’s your adaptation? What is the most expensive cost to you?

Well, little of all, from the winters that at three are done at night to the theme of food differently and the disability at a social level, I have been to Barcelona for ten years with many friends out of football, universities and other environments and in England I am not surrounded by football at all times and sometimes it is difficult because you want to disconnect and you can’t. It is true that I have family and friends visits, but in the day -to -day it is something next to the sun and food is a great change.

Do you feel that, finally, when you leave Barça, can you act as a leader and opponent on a team?

It was true that in Barça I always felt appreciated and loved and out of the doors I probably didn’t have that role of so many names, but at the game level I always felt important and things in England came out, the game took place more for me and I was left with which I was able to grow up and become a better player than a year ago.

Did you find, then, what am I looking for?

I wanted to get out of that comfort zone and, yes, I found what I was looking for and I also won a champions league with another club. And hopefully we will take more popularity in Europe and start winning leagues as soon as possible.

In England you are working well, can you continue to learn from them?

Yes, we know that the English Federation is an example by how they manage and move, but the point that we are here will be very happy, they treat us how this group deserves it, it makes everything around us easy and you see the results and the performance we provide. We hear and support. It can always improve but we are privileged.
