MADRID, 3 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Spanish international player Juancho Hernangómez assured that the team is willing to “give everything and fight” in the World Cup since there are youngsters, among which is counted, “hungry” for more successes that give continuity to those of the 2019 World Cup and the European 2022.

“When you go as a favorite you have more chances of failure, because everything that is not winning is a failure. We, as always, are going to give everything. We arrive with the maximum enthusiasm because we are young, we are hungry, we want to go and give everything and fight,” he assured the media.

The man from Madrid is keen to start playing friendlies in preparation for the World Cup, which starts at the end of this month. “Tomorrow we start playing, then a couple of days off and then a great tournament in Malaga and Granada. I’m here to work, to give my best and keep fighting,” he was honest.

“We know that it is a very, very difficult path. The first group is also difficult, the second group even more, and then let’s dream. We have another year together, each year we get to know each other better, we have competed, we have fought many battles and We know our weaknesses, our strengths and we are going to go as a family, as a group, as a group to die in the field”, he assured.

Finally, he highlighted the level of the young people who are helping to complete the training sessions. “I am very happy and very proud of the kids who are training. We must give them a vote of joy and confidence, they are doing super well. Both the three who came last week and these three have incredible talent and in a few years they will be here competing and being leaders”, he predicted.

Regarding his signing for Panathinaikos and his reception in Athens as if he were a hero, he assured that it was an express trip. “The truth is that everything was a bit crazy, a very good reception from the people. At the airport and on the streets and in the city, well impressive, the truth is that I did not expect it. The truth is that I really want to start to play there in the OAKA with all the fans and compete for everything”, he was honest.
