Laporte: “Obviously, teams like Real Madrid are not despised”
Aymeric Laporte stopped by the El Larguero microphones to talk about various current events. One of the topics discussed was his future, with the Spain centre-back and Al-Nasr making it clear they would listen to a possible call from Real Madrid.
On whether he is bothered by being linked to Real Madrid “I’m not very aware of this. I read the same thing as you, so no problem. Sounds great. Obviously teams like Real Madrid are not despised.”
Criticism of his departure to Arabia and his nationalization: “My job is to play football and try my best. I’m not going to depend on what people think when making decisions in my life. If I make important decisions in my career or personal life, it is because I believe it is best for me.. Obviously, I’m not going to do anything to harm myself. It may or may not be right, but you should always respect it.”
Saudi football: “It’s a different culture, but I went to play football rather than do other things and it hasn’t gone bad yet. I managed to win the European Championship, and this is the most wonderful thing that has happened to me in my sports career. “The way the band played, the way we all felt from the inside… It was impressive.”
My idea is to return there
Experience in Arabia: “There are still a lot of things to improve. A few years ago they made big bets on football. It will grow gradually or very quickly, I don’t know, but I have seen the evolution. I can’t play on the radio here. There are some very positive things and there are a few more that would be nice to talk about. “It’s not something that can be improved, it’s something more specific.”
Press Relations: “I rarely saw journalists or newspapers defend my interests. Every decision I made was questioned, and every time I did oral interviews and then written interviews, I was disappointed because the headlines they make are the ones they want the most.” It’s your job and you have to speak up. This is what I perceived from within. This has never happened to me at a press conference; strange things don’t make headlines.
Follow in Arabia: “I have commented on this more than once. My idea of returning is there. My whole family is in Europe. Stay in Arabia or return: “My idea of returning is there.”
Play again in Spain: “That’s it…obviously.”
Stage at Manchester City: This is a team that we have won a lot with, but for me the European Championships were much more special because of the importance I had in the competition, because of the group, what we achieve at national team level, the spectacle and the spectacle. exceptional teammates. I have rarely met such a group. If I had stayed, I would have kept it. But it’s true that five premieres in six years is impressive.”
We have a team that will win the World Cup.
Homework completed: “We achieved what we wanted, namely qualification. We represent Spain and we cannot relax in any match. We must try our best and respect the people who come to support us. We don’t like to lose. and we will try to win both sides.”
Capable of winning the World Championship: “We have shown in recent years that we can compete very well to win the World Cup. This can go either good or bad as we know that in modern football weak teams can beat stronger teams. We will try, and we have the team for this. Our ambition and our goal is to achieve this.
Semi-automatic play clears up doubts: “Without seeing it, but with the help of the explanations that Clos Gómez gave, he convinced me at that moment.”
