MADRID, 27 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The striker of the Spanish team Álvaro Morata, scorer of the winning goal against Portugal that gave the pass to the ‘Final Four’ of the League of Nations, underlined the “attitude” of the team to play a “difficult match” and recalled that they were clear that when they have to “measure up” they usually do.

“It was a difficult game, you just have to look at the players Portugal has, but I prefer the attitude of this team. We fought until the end and look at Nico Williams, it was his second game and he was key to taking advantage of the tremendous pass from Carvajal and I had to push her”, said Morata at the microphone of ‘La1’.

The man from Madrid stressed the “great effort” of the national team. “We knew that when we have to give the stature in games like this, we give it, and above all that if we lost or didn’t pass, it had to be giving everything on the field and that’s how it has been”, he underlined.

“We will have time to think about what is coming and especially those who are lucky enough to be at that event, now it’s time to enjoy the moment. There are already two competitions in which we have been there and they have escaped due to details. prepare for the future in the best possible way and enjoy today because it’s not easy to win here”, added the Atlético de Madrid footballer.

Morata confessed that they had “no pressure”. “This morning I was a little nervous and I saw that there was a very good atmosphere. I calmed down to see my teammates so calm, we are a good group and we deserve it,” he said.
