MADRID, 28 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish men’s futsal coach, Jesús Velasco, has admitted to finishing 2024 “in the best possible way” by being “where I wanted to be”, after having “lived many different situations” that he has already left behind, but in the slipstream of the three victories achieved in his first three games at the head of the ‘Roja’ bench.
“It has been a year in which I have experienced many different situations and I finished it in the best possible way because I am where I wanted to be. Now we have to try to enjoy and try to perform to the maximum,” he declared to the official media of the Royal Spanish Federation of Football. Football (RFEF).
“For me it’s all quite new. I try to prioritize all the activities that I would like to do and give priority to those that I consider most important, a little planning and learning how to act with this new facet of my career,” he confessed upon becoming a coach after a long career directing clubs.
Regarding the objectives and guidelines of his project, he advocated “playing to win knowing that you can lose.” “We must keep our feet on the ground, work hard, train well and try to compete in the best way,” Velasco said during the interview broadcast this Saturday.
Likewise, he shared his wishes for 2025. “First of all, I ask you for a sense of humor. If you see things with a sense of humor, they are going well. And if everything goes well, you are more cheerful and happy. As soon as there start to be problems health, work, things not going well with the national team… it’s all more complicated,” he argued.
“In sports, achieve the objective of qualifying in the best possible way and try to finish each of the windows with good feelings,” he alluded to the events of the qualifying phase for the Euro 2026. “We have to go, little by little , learning from each one and understanding what needs to be done and what needs to be left aside a little more,” he finally referred to those windows of the European calendar.
