Carvajal: “That season I was the best right player in the world”
Dani Carvajal, The right-back of the Spanish national team walked through the microphones of El Larguero de la CER this Thursday and reviewed the news of the team of Luis de la Fuente, which reached the 1/8 finals of the 2024 European Championship in Germany, and Real Madrid.
As for his future, he commented: “The day I have to quit is when I will evaluate whether I want to continue competing.” and added that “The moment I leave Madrid, I will either end up here or I will not go to another European club.”
Regarding his teammate, Brazilian Vinicius, who is currently competing in the Copa America with his national team, he said: “he trains less than 50% of what he does in games” and the one he will use next season, Mbappe, noted that he was a striker “with whom I have, without a doubt, suffered the most.”
Regarding the farewell to Nacho, Carvajal admitted that “I’m very sad about Nacho, but the Champions League is growing and it’s important…” He added that “I know it was difficult for him to make the decision, but I think this is the best thing for him.”. And about Joselu, who is also leaving Madrid, he said that “He will have fewer opportunities and the offer he received is undeniable.”
He joked about his secret to always being in peak physical shape: “If I said it, everyone would do it.”but added: “It’s diet, rest, a little bit of everything… having children and being a father makes me freer.”
And the Spanish national team believes that style depends on the coach and the players, because “The type of player influences you: with strikers like Lamin and Niko, football becomes more direct.” And he showed that “De la Fuente tells us that you need a ball to do damage.”
About himself he said that “I think that in the season I’ve had, I’m the best right-handed player in the world,” because “I think so… if I don’t believe in it, who will?”
