Adnan Januzaj is a 'gamer' on the field … and also outside. The Belgian player dominates the language of social networks and likes to use it to interact with followers of the Royal Society, something that is appreciated in these complicated days of home confinement because of the coronavirus health alert, also because in his talks in his Instragram account he leaves more than a juicy headline that he does not usually give in his press conferences of Zubieta or Anoeta. “The final of the Copa del Rey is going to be played for sure and we are going to win it,” says Januzaj. The first direct arrow to the heart. Without contemplation. Without mincing words. It started strong. It is only the beginning.
Because later Adnan Januzaj argued his strong statement. “I love playing the derby against Bilbao, because there is a lot of pressure and I like that. I think we are superior to them, although in the final we will have to have a good day, And that doesn't always come out, “he says, very sure of himself. And then he adds. “I would never go to Bilbao because it would make my teammates sad”, judgment. Although logically not only did he throw darts at Real's historic rival, he also had time to talk about his soccer tastes. “For me the best player is Cristiano Ronaldo, but my favorite is Pogba, because I grew up playing with him.” And he also had good words for his former team. “Manchester United is my second team after Real.”
Later, Januzaj revealed to the realistic followers some curiosities of the current staff of the Real and his stay in San Sebastián. He spoke of Imanol Alguacil, acknowledging the clashes he has come to have with his coach, but also his great work. “I think Imanol is the best coach I have ever had, but sometimes he is also tough and we get angry”, He says; “Although it is normal,” he adds, smiling. Then he talks about his classmates. “Igor is very good but in training he gives a lot of shit when he tackles,” he jokes about Zubeldia. He considers that “Barrenetxea and Oyarzabal are the players who have the most future at Real”. And it is clear who would take a decisive penalty. “If there is a penalty in the 90th minute, Mikel (Oyarzabal” would always throw it. “It is not the only thing that the Belgian is clear about his teammates. Just as naturally he talks about his most partying teammates. “He would go with Remi (Alex Remiro), Moyaka (Miguel Ángel Moyá) and Nacho (Monreal), although I think his wife would not be happy”, he says with a mischievous smile. And Robin Le Normand, the central newcomer to the first team also had his faltering ration. “It is very good, but when we train and he is there, I don't put my foot in because I would be in pain for two or three weeks. “
And I also talk about physical work at home because of forced confinement. But, of course, he did it with his peculiar sense of humor. “I have damage to my ass from cycling so much and I'm tired of sleeping so much.” Of course, Januzaj has no reason to complain, he is sincere admitting that he is privileged: “I would not change anything in my life, I am very happy with what I have.” And to finish he makes a promise addressed to the followers of the Real. “As many of you are asking me for t-shirts, I am going to buy 50 and I am going to give them to the Real to raffle them. Do you think it is a good idea?” It will be necessary to pay attention to the social networks of the Royal Society and Januzaj himself. Notice to boaters.
