“I don’t think Luis Enrique looks at the shirt of those who come …”

Dani Carvajal has given an interview to The spar, from Cadena SER, in which he reviews the news of the National Team, before the important matches of Spain against Greece (Thursday) and Sweden (Sunday) in which there is a direct pass to the World Cup in Qatar next summer. He has also referred to Luis Enrique and the absence of Madridistas in the last lists, their status, the situation of Real Madrid, the departure of Messi, the arrival of Xavi, Sergio Ramos, Benzema and the Ballon d’Or, Mbappé or Haaland …

First of all, how are you?

The truth is that very well, very well physically, mentally … The truth is that when I saw my colleagues, the staff, everything that the Federation includes here, it seemed that it was coming for the first time.

Due to injuries he has missed some appointments, but Luis Enrique remembered the other day and made it clear to everyone that whenever he has been well, he is a fixture for him …

Thank you for the words. That it comes from you is very important to me. It is a great emotional boost in order to be in the National Team. Now, to show him that confidence with good performances.

He also hinted that you have changed your diet plan, your preparation … I imagine that you are looking to not relapse. What exactly has changed?

In the end, when you relapse from injuries and spend a season a bit in the shadows, you try to look for all kinds of causes from diet, rest, way of working, dosages when entering with the team in games … A little practically everything.

And what have you eliminated from the diet?

I’m not eating gluten, no wheat, and no cow’s milk. Everything is vegetable milk. No red meat. Some things that would not be easy for some people to eat, but what our sports diet is is not very influential either. In the end, vegetables, fruit, fish and chicken I can eat.

Everything is to be in the National Team and in that World Cup event. By the way, in this group there is finally someone from Madrid, there were many who said that Luis Enrique was not taking anyone from Madrid. Carvajal has returned and there is already someone from Madrid …

Yes, well, it has been a bit the subject of debate. I don’t think the coach will notice the shirt worn by each selected player to be here. In the end, he has shown that his philosophy is that a player who is at full capacity and a player who is fit is the one who comes to the National Team, the one who can help the team. In recent months it has not occurred or has not been considered that any player from our team should be here and it has been.
