Who did you remember on the day of its premiere with Portugal? “From my parents, my family and my friends. You always dream of singing the anthem in the green, which is the best thing a player can have, who dreams of playing with his country since he was a child. It is a spectacular sensation ”.

Next engagement. “Now we have a game against Valladolid and that is the most important thing. The debut with the national team is over and now I have to be focused on this game.

Grateful. “If I didn't get to be with Granada in the First Division, I wouldn't have been able to make my debut. I have to thank the club, the coaching staff and the teammates for my debut with the national team. They were very important to me ”.

Its evolution. “I am growing a lot, I am a more mature player and improving in several facets. We have to keep improving and in this both the coach and the club have helped me ”.

Do you talk about Granada in Portugal? “We have been Gil Días, Rui Silva and I. In the end they talk more because where there are Portuguese players they always talk. I'm happy with my debut because I had been called up for almost a year and I hadn't been able to play. They are all very good people and that and it helps set you up “

Share focus with the star of Portugal. “Of course it is exciting to play with Cristiano. He is the greatest figure in your country and that helps you. He is a very good uncle and a very good captain and is always there to help and give a friendly word ”.

Demanding schedule. “We know there are many games, but we are a team that adapts to or is proposed to us. That is good for everything, that there are many games and that way people are always playing. You have to be prepared because surely we are all going to play many minutes. “

How do you understand with the other centrals? “I'm very comfortable. I did not know Nehuén that much, but he is a boy who likes to work a lot and the other two (Germán and Vallejo) already knew them from last year and they are players with a lot of quality. That there is competition in the team is good because it makes you improve day by day ”.

Goals. “Keep growing every day. The season is long and there are many things to fight for and there is still a long way to go. If I am satisfied with what we have done, I will die. In the end you have to set goals in your career and continue adding what is what important”.
