About Ansu Fati
"Ansu is one of the players we are paying attention to. He has scored a lot of goals now, we know him very well and have evaluated his performance. If there is an injury, we are not sure whether he will come on as a substitute in the second game. We are happy for Ansu , This is good news for the national team. "
"I am not worried, we have many options. Players such as Jesus Rodriguez and De Frutos are all in our plan. Choose from 50 players and even form two or three national teams. The only thing that worries me is player health. "
Laporte returns to La Liga
"First of all, we hope that the weather will not affect the game tomorrow. This is related to the safety of local residents. I always think the more Spanish players playing in the domestic league the better because it is the best league and we can pay more attention to them. Laporte has proven to be world-class in Saudi Arabia, and now that he is competing in the Champions League and La Liga, we will see the best of him. "
Team Leadership
"We have a team that is in an excellent maturity stage. Team. Players such as Oyarzabal, Merino, Ferran, and Olmo all assume important responsibilities within the team. Team roles are well distributed and there is no individualism here. "
Central defender combination preference
"If I could choose, I would prefer to equip a full-time left central defender and a right central defender. Both Kubasi and Lenorment are capable of playing on both sides, but a player's adaptability in multiple positions is also important, allowing us to be flexible in emergencies. "
Coaching Mentality
"I handle work in a very natural state. 'Balance' is the key word and this helps me a lot. You don’t have to take it easy when you win Recognize the best, and there is no need to belittle oneself when losing. I ask my players to give their all - as long as they give their best there is no failure and I always have peace of mind. I do not mentor others, only share experiences. Criticism is always there and I take it in stride and keep a healthy distance. I have the freedom to make decisions, and any mistakes I make are my own fault. "
Praise and Expectations
"I always firmly believe that my players are the best. Although the level is high globally, we have the best players. After promotion, we will try our best to win the World Cup, but football is full of variables and the road to winning is never easy. "
