“Real Madrid? We’ll see when the Cup ends.”

MARCA attended Alphonso Davies’ press conferencecaptain of Canada’s Copa America opener against Messi’s Argentina early Friday through Saturday in Spain.

And how could it be otherwise, I asked himWe turn to Real Madrid: “Sorry, Alfonso, if the question is taken out of context, but in Spain they talk a lot about you. What can you tell us? To which the Bayern left-back responded in surprise: “Sorry, but I’m focused on getting my team far in this Cup. “I put all my energy here and when this tournament is over we will see what happens.”

Davis will captain for the first time in an official match with Canada vs Albiceleste: “I love my country and there will be a lot of emotions when I lead my team in an official match for the first time. This will be an exciting day in my career and this is what I dreamed of.” since I was a little.”

They also asked him aboutHow are they going to stop Leo Messi?and the Bayern defender, whose contract expires in 2025, responded with a succinct “we have to defend as a team.”

Alfonso proved to be a taciturn captain, despite being awarded the captain’s armband by a vote of his teammates by the Canadian coach. Technician Jesse Marsh talks about Davis’ abilities as captain: “He cares a lot about his teammates, trains very well and always encourages the team. I know he is very young, but he is one of our leaders and will take part in the 2026 World Cup.”
