Aperribay: “Illarra could go to Eurovision quietly”

Jokin Aperribay has gone down in Real history as the president with whom he won the third Copa del Rey. Hours after getting the title, digested the success and still savoring it, he attends the Diario As.

-Back home with the Cup …

It is a special day. The first after winning the Cup, a very important victory that we all wanted. And we must remember the understanding and closeness that the Royal had to the Provincial Council and the City Council in the most difficult moments in which we were gambling to be or not to be. They were decisive.

-Who do you remember after achieving this success?

Of all. Of the family and the fans that could not be in La Cartuja.

-How are you hours after winning the Cup?

Now I am relaxed, very relaxed, I want to be calm, because I am happy.

-How was the celebration party?

Neat and lively, but very lively. Really enjoyed it. As it had to be.

-What's left of the celebration?

With everything. The tickets of the players and Imanol Alguacil. Let's say it was all very emotional.

-There was an improvised artist …

(Laughs) Illarramendi, yes. The truth is that none of us knew about his trumpet arts, and the truth is that he could easily go to Eurovision. It is a phenomenon.

-What have you said to Imanol after winning the Cup?

Nothing special. I gave Imanol a hug, I congratulated him and we talked about everything, the next few months, the club, the next game, the future of the youngest and the project, because this I will not tire of saying is the beginning of a time very positive for the club.

-What do you say to the fans that have respected the restrictions so well in general in this strange celebration?

Thank you so much that this was theirs, and it's for them. That we have one more title, that we promised to bring the Cup home and we have done it. And although it was a celebration different from others, thank you very much for respecting the rules. Thank you very much for your understanding.

-And now you have to think about returning to the league and another derby …

Now to savor this title, and little by little start thinking about the next game. We do not want to look further. From the hallway, we'll see what they do. It's up to you.
