Álvaro Morata spoke clearly about the situation he lives with the Spanish team and the anguish he feels for not having been at the expected level in this European Championship. The forward admitted that he does not sleep well, that his family receives threats and that he is the first to demand more of himself than he currently does in the field.
«I did not sleep for 9 hours after the game against Poland. I have received threats, insults to my family, I hope my children die … I’m fine, maybe a few years ago I would have been more screwed up. I have spent a few weeks isolated from everything, “he commented.

On the other hand, Morata did not cut himself when analyzing the whistles he hears in this European Championship. «People whistle at me because it is what they hear, but I give everything. I give my life for the national team. If we had won 3-0 against Sweden or Poland, the stadium would have done ‘the wave’. Everything I say or don’t say is interpreted. I wish people would put more in my skin, “he explained.
In addition, the forward spoke of the penalty he missed against Slovakia and how bad he felt about it. “I am very proud to take a penalty after they called me. Casillas, Raúl and Reina and many more have told me not to give importance to criticism, “he explained.
Finally, Morata does not rule out Spain in the fight for the continental scepter, giving value to his teammates. “I don’t think we are one step below Germany, France or Portugal. Nor do we have to think that we are better than anyone else. I sign not to play anymore, or score, and be European champions, “he settled.
