Spain, Euro 2020: The terrible confidentiality of the conspirator Alvaro Morata
The euro seems far behind us, and yet the competition with which Italy has conquered the Old Continent ended only five months ago. And if there is a player who has been shaped by this competition, apart from the players of Squadra Azzurra or the survivor Eriksen and his partners, it is of course Alvaro Morata. We can say that the La Roja striker went through all the emotions during this tournament. Conspired, praised, criticized and then taken again to heaven, the Juventus player has not experienced an obvious EM. In an interview with El Pais, he returned to these few weeks with La Roja.
“Whistles are uncomfortable for everyone. When my family or friends would try to make them lose their sense by saying, ‘You didn’t whistle, it was the change of coach’, I would reply, ‘Imagine my cousin working at the gas station when they got it. started hissing and cursing at him for spilling gasoline. ” There is no one who is perfect, we are not machines, I know what is expected of us. Not all respectful criticism or hissing can piss me off even if it bothers me, but there are some things we need to push forward like the hate we show sometimes. There is a problem with education, I saw children with their fathers and they were full of anger, and his son is learning about it. But I think things are changing, people are realizing that there are limits. On the pitch they can insult or spit, but when I’m outside, or my wife, with our children, no, it’s different, ”said the player, trained at Atlético and Real Madrid.
It must be said that after the first meeting between La Roja and Sweden, the one who still belongs to the Colchoneros had come to like it. Then he washed his image a bit by scoring against Poland before doing the same in the round of 16 against Croatia and then drawing against Italy in the semi-finals. He then missed the penalty which allowed the Italians to slip into the final. But for him it’s no longer about hiding or ignoring the mental health issues that players may be facing. “For me, winning the European Championship would have been a victory, but we have managed to recover from this already tragic situation,” said the one who does not want “the players to hide”.
“Sometimes I would get up in my room and I didn’t want anything. By the time I was going downstairs for breakfast I would meet my teammates or call my wife on the phone and get that urge back. While I was the most watched person in Spain, I scored a penalty against Slovakia which we hit well but which could have eliminated us. Then, against Italy, I shot the one who eliminated us, but I think there are few people like me who would have given anything to win with Spain. […] I’m not 20 anymore, I can’t worry about these things anymore. But it was hard because I was in my room and got the news, I don’t even want to talk about the media… You get messages like “Look at that boy what he said about you”. It’s complicated, but I had teammates who treated me like another player in the group and not like the one that everyone can get off, ”concluded the striker. This shows that the dream of playing an international tournament with your country can quickly turn into a nightmare …
