Álvaro Morata will start this Saturday against Poland . After a difficult week after the whistles received by the Spanish fans at La Cartuja , the Juventus forward has received public support and confidence from Luis Enrique . “You have to take criticism calmly, respect them and keep working,” he says.
Far from hiding, Morata has been the player who has shown his face in the press conference prior to the second match of the National Team in the group stage of the Eurocup. The appearance was held at the Hotel Torre España in Seville, where the national team is staying. “I couldn’t go a week without talking,” he says.
Whistles
«I face them very calmly. I have been working since the Sub 17 to play a European Championship. You have to accept criticism, respect it and keep working. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s game. We can do something great, we all think about it. You have to listen little, read little and work ».
Thoughts
«They are plays so fast that you don’t have time to think. I do not consider that I made a serious mistake. The goalkeeper dipped and had to adjust to the stick. I have to put in more work. I will give 200% as every time I put on the National Team shirt ».
Psychologist
«It is normal that when you draw it costs you to rest. I have repeated it many times. With Joaquín (the National Team’s psychologist) I talk about everything, he is a person who cares about me. I have a very long career so that people’s opinion can make me sadder. If I mark, I will be happy for the people who have shown me affection, but I am phenomenal ».
The most important thing you’ve ever done
«Look at the documents of a house that I am looking to buy. Being with colleagues, playing the Play … Everything that is done is important for coexistence ».
Lewandowski
«I like football and therefore I like him. He is one of the best forwards in history. When I have been lucky enough to play against him I have asked him for shirts. I would like to have many things about him, but I do not have them… I am Morata. He is a person that I admire. Hopefully from tomorrow it will be phenomenal.

Gerard Moreno
«It is easy to get along with him. He has shown the player that he is. We can all play with everyone. Whoever does it will adapt easily because apart from the fact that we are great players we have a very good personal relationship.
Idea of going out to the media
«It was everyone’s decision. He couldn’t go a week without talking. When it is proposed to me, then go ahead. The only reality is that I am here and that I am going to give everything for Spain ».
Ramos calls him ‘Moratowski’
“He has always called me that out of affection. It is a reference for me. If there’s a game on TV where Lewandowski plays, you have to stop and watch it.
