MADRID, 19 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish footballer Pau Cubarsí, defense of FC Barcelona, tries to “capture” his usual “tranquility” also “in the game”, both with the culés and the national team, being the protagonist of a professional career in which “everything is happening very fast” and in which it integrates a team where he would give Raphinha the Golden Ball.
“Some striker tries to look for me. They try to get you out of the game or want to chat a little, but I am for the game. To chat, after the game,” he said Wednesday during an interview in ‘The great game of Cope’ with Juanma Castaño. In a few days, Cubarsí will play with Spain the quarterfinals of the Nations League before the Netherlands.
“I have ever fallen from these, but it is not important to give them importance. I laugh and I leave,” he admitted before pointing out that very few things make him nervous. “As such, no. I try to capture that tranquility in the game inside the field,” said a Cubarsí who is on his way to beat records in number of games with Barça.
“Against the Barbastro in Copa del Rey I made 50, which I saw it on Instagram. Now I will take about 60 and long. Everything is happening very fast. I have also changed physically, but technically you always have to improve things. I still have to improve a lot, but I have changed enough,” insisted the 18 -year -old Blaugrana central.
“I have always had the sleep perfectly,” he said about his poise, confessing that in his Masia room he sleeps 10 hours as “minimum” to be “happy.” In addition, his routine has barely varied during the ‘red’ concentrations in Las Rozas (Madrid).
“Here life is calm. You train in the morning and sleep in the afternoon, so more or less the same. But you know new people when you come new. Then you meet people who see them in the field in LaLiga day by day and very well, a very healthy atmosphere and a great family,” he described about the call of Luis de la Fuente.
In fact, Cubarsí never imagined being a key piece in the first team culé being so young. “I thought I would be there playing with Barça Atlètic. Maybe some opportunity, but settled in the first team I would never have expected it,” he said about it.
Thus, it is difficult to keep your feet on the floor with 18 years. “It can happen because we are young and the whole theme we do not get along, but the family is also very important and the values that have transmitted since childhood, that makes a difference,” he argued.
“We are all favorites for the Champions League”
With Barça he is fighting this season for all titles, the most desired the Champions League. “Now we are in the quarterfinals, there are the best eight, so we are all favorites,” he replied about the culé candidacy, status that for Lamine Yamal is quite older.
“I agree with him, but at the same time not, because every game is a world. There are the best right now and anyone can beat you and you can win them,” he clarified his statements before focusing on Lamine’s performance himself: “It was always good.
On the other hand, he valued the plan of his coach Hansi Flick with such high play. “In the field it looks easier than from the outside. I have seen some game so it has touched me and I say ‘What madness!’, It looks very nervous. But in the field you are calm with the line and it depends a lot on the concentration of each one and especially on whether the ball is tight or not,” Cubarsí explained.
“When you have pressure you can throw the line up because you know that, if you have pressure, you can’t hit easy- but when you hit easy, you have to throw a little back because they can catch you,” he added on how he implements Flick’s ideas in the Barça rear.
Who to give the Golden Ball was another issue of debate. “Right now, for season and how it is taking place, I would tell you that A Raphinha. Lamine already understands me and I would say that A Raphinha as well, I think so. This year he is stopped,” Cubarsí praised the Brazilian striker.
He then pointed to Raphinha himself and the Uruguayan defense Ronald Araujo as leaders in the Barça costumes, and also stressed who leads in the Spanish team: “Here Morata is number 1. He is a good guy, always from day one he already welcomed me. We had a very good relationship and I am very happy with the treatment he has given me.”
Finally, Cubarsí said about how a Real Madrid vs Barça would be in the Champions League final of this course. “For the show, I would tell you that it is the best Champions League end; for the people who like football, because it is the best. And for us, I would tell you to come the one who comes; because if we are in the final, it is because we can opt for it and that the one who comes comes,” he finally repeated.
