Thiago Alcántara highlights the strength of the group. The Liverpool midfielder spoke to the media at a telematic press conference in which he stated that one of the keys to the team is that they all see themselves as “starters and substitutes.” “Everyone wants to help in whatever way,” he adds.
The midfielder of the national team made it clear that, despite the situation they have lived with the positive Sergio Busquets and isolation are carried out, they are willing to do whatever it face to “be well prepared” to face a European Championship to which they go “positive for a long time” and with “a beautiful combination” of youth and seniority.
“We have been living this for a year and a half and we are already used to doing a de-escalation in our teams . We have such a beautiful competition ahead of us, whatever they throw at us, as types of training, we are going to do it as long as we are well prepared, “said Thiago.
The Hispanic-Brazilian recognized that the “inconvenience” of everything that is happening “is not being able to have a normal coexistence” and that they know “perfectly what is really important.” “If something affects a person in the team, the important thing is that we are all willing to help and reinforce them to focus on what we have come, which is to play football,” he was sincere after another new alteration in the days before a debut in a great date like 2016 and 2018.
After the message full of optimism sent by Luis Enrique , the Liverpool player clarified that they have been “positive for much longer, not for a week.” «This is a group that has been growing and developing the football we want for this important competition. We are positive for the human group that there is and for how we are working, “he said.
For Thiago, without Sergio Busquets they lose “an experienced player .” «It is very important to have him on the squad so that he can give us his point of view in the most pressure situations, and at the individual and football level we already know the defensive and offensive quality that he has. We are waiting with open arms for him to return and may be lucky enough to be with us, “he said.
“Step by step”
«In each competition you play, you gain experience and see things from a different perspective. In this group we combine youth in hunger and the experience of some, and that is a very beautiful combination. Now we have to shape our football and we have to think that we are the best and be faithful to the idea we have, with that I think we can go very far, “added the midfielder.
In this sense, the ‘red’ footballer knows that “at this level it is difficult” to win titles because they play “against the best in the world.” “We are fighting every time to achieve these objectives, but we do not have to think only about the end but in the short term and given the experience of the last games to go little by little,” he stressed.
