Aymeric Laporte stopped by the microphones of El Larguero to talk about various current affairs. One of the topics discussed was his future and the center back of the Spanish team and Al-Nassr made it clear that he would listen to a possible call from Real Madrid.
On whether it bothers him that he is linked to Real Madrid “I’m not very aware of it. I have read the same thing as you, so there is no problem. Sounds good. Obviously teams like Real Madrid are not despised.”
Criticism for his departure to Arabia and his nationalization: “My thing is to play football and try to do it as best as possible. I’m not going to depend on what people think to make decisions in my life. If I make important decisions in my career or in my personal life it will be because I believe it is the best for me. Obviously I’m not going to do something to harm myself. It may or may not be right, but you always have to respect it.”
Saudi football: “It is a different culture, but what I have gone to is to play football not to do other things and so far it has not gone badly for me. I have been able to win a European Championship, which is the most beautiful thing that has happened to me in my sporting career. “The way the group played, how we experienced everything from within… It was spectacular.”
My idea of returning is there
Laporte
Experience in Arabia: “There are still many things to improve. They have bet heavily on football a few years ago. It will grow little by little or very quickly, I don’t know, but I have seen evolution. I can’t play here on the radio. There are very positive things and there are a few others that would be good to talk about. “It’s not something that can be improved, it’s something more specific.”
Relationship with the press: “I have rarely seen journalists or a newspaper defend my interests. All the decisions I have made have been questioned and whenever I have done spoken and then written interviews I have been disappointed because the headlines that are made are those who want to be seen the most. It is your job and you have to make people talk. That is what I have perceived from the inside. It has never happened to me, strange things do not appear in the headlines.
Stay in Arabia: “I have already mentioned it more than once. My idea of returning is there. I have my whole family in Europe. Stay in Arabia or return: “My idea of returning is there.”
Playing again in Spain: “Now that’s it… obviously.”
Stage at Manchester City: It is a team with which we have won a lot, but for me the Euro Cup has been much more special because of the importance I had in the competition, because of the group, what we are achieving at the national team level, spectacular teammates and exceptional. I have rarely encountered a group like this. If I stayed I would keep this. But it is true that five Premiers in six years is spectacular.”
We have a team to win the World Cup
Laporte
Homework done: “We have achieved what we wanted, which was qualification. We represent Spain and we must not relax in any match. We must push ourselves to the maximum and respect the people who are going to come and support us. We do not like to lose and we will try to win both games.”
Capable of winning the World Cup: “In recent years we have shown that we can compete perfectly to win the World Cup. It could go well or badly, as we know in today’s football, inferior teams can beat superior teams. We will try and “We have the team for it. Our ambition and our goal is to get there one hundred percent.”
The semi-automatic game clarifies the doubt: “Not seeing it, but with the explanation that Clos Gómez gave, it convinced me at that moment.”
