Unbeaten record
“We are on a good run, and against Turkey we have the chance to extend it to 31 matches without defeat. Personally, it would be 41 if I’m not mistaken. It’s a positive figure for me and for the team, and I hope it continues.”

Squad rotation
“This is very positive. It doesn’t matter which player is on the field because the National Team keeps winning and maintaining the same style. This is part of the team’s success. It is very difficult to be among the 25–26 players selected by the coach, which is why we maintain such high competitiveness.”

🎙️ "La @SEFutbol tiene un estilo marcado y una racha de triunfos que es difícil mantener".

➡️ "Da igual quién juegue, todos lo hacemos bien y eso habla del gran nivel de los futbolistas españoles".

Individual awards
“Individual awards depend on the votes of others. I always try to work at my best level and perform well to be considered for such recognition. Being among the nominees is a good sign, as it shows I am doing things correctly.”

Team level
“It is very hard to select only 25 players because the quality in this National Team is incredible. Fortunately, Spain has many talented players who could be called up at any time, which constantly pushes us to perform at our best. We cannot be complacent; we are one of the best teams in the world.”

World Cup
“I’m looking forward to playing here, at home in Seville, with my friends and family. It’s a very special feeling. If we qualify, I hope Luis de la Fuente calls me up: it would be a dream I’m trying to achieve.”

🎙️ "Estoy deseando jugar mañana en Sevilla con mi familia, mis amigos y mi afición viéndome en casa".

➡️ "Sería un sueño poder jugar un Mundial".

Club vs. National Team styles
“I feel equally comfortable in both. Both coaches like to keep possession. Luis de la Fuente and Luis Enrique give me the freedom to drop back to receive the ball and join the attack… I am fortunate to be coached by both because their styles suit me.”
