Morata, on Cristiano's future: “I see him at Juve”

Álvaro Morata has returned to the National Team and does so with great enthusiasm, as he has made clear in 'El Larguero' of Cadena Ser. In a strange season for him, due to the irregular course that Juventus is doing, He has talked about Cristiano, whom he sees frustrated by the results. Of course, he believes that the Portuguese will continue in the Italian team. Morata still does not know what will become of his own future: if he will return to Atlético or will he stay in Andrea Pirlo's team.

Recovered from cytomegalovirus: “Yes, it is a very normal thing. People talk without knowing. There are many people who have it, according to what the doctor told me. You have a day or two of fever, as my son did, and when you are older it is usually detect when your defenses are down. I was not feeling well. I was dizzy on the field. I had been two or three games that I was not well. I asked to go to the hospital, I had problems with my finger, spleen and liver. So I had to prepare as if it were a preseason. “

Atypical season: “Yes, it is quite strange and hard. There are times that I pass by the house once a week. Before you used to go with the family there and now you have to do other things. I have even started to paint. The children have fun and grow very fast. Let's see if the cars are in the garage when I get home (laughs) “.

Illusion to go with the Selection: “I'm very comfortable there in Italy, I feel at home, but coming back is always a tremendous joy. Now I can't see many people I love, but here in the National Team there is also a group that I really enjoy.”

The young people who join the Selection: “There are many new faces, many young people. You see Pedri and you can talk to him. At his age I was more confused. They look very mature. Both he and others, it's nice to see them and how they have reacted. Me when I came to the At first I didn't even see the ball because of how nervous I was. “

Three 'affordable rivals' ahead: “I think there has to be little evidence because in the last World Cups I have seen great teams that have been left out. Nobody remembers that Italy had teams in front of them that a priori seemed minor and were left out. We don't have to think about the It is true that the last matches against the Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany can be perfectly found in the quarterfinals, semi-finals or final of the Eurocup or World Cup and you have to get positive things out of all three. You have to also think about him. World Cup, not only in the Eurocup. “

The current level of the Spanish team: “There is France, Italy, which is always difficult … Holland, which I like a lot … We must not forget Belgium … Portugal is always there … In the end what we have to see is that we are not below any selection but we are not yet at the top. We have to approach it with a lot of positivity and a lot of encouragement. We are not worse than any team. It was seen that against Germany we beat them when they had a lead of 300 million euros “.

It is being a complicated year at Juve: “Small details leave us out against Porto. It's everyone's fault. If I head the first one I have, we will go to the quarterfinals. We must always look at the bright side. We have won a Super Cup, we have the Cup final against the Atalanta. We must take this year as a year of changes, many changes. These are things that can be improved and that's it. “

Barrage of criticism, especially Cristiano: “They have criticized us all but none of the team has all the titles that he has. It affects us all and whoever tells you no, lies to you. I am the first to know that they criticize me. He will also know that they criticize him. No I have to say who Cristiano is because you already know who he is ”.

His relationship with Cristiano and confidences about his future: “We talk about everything except football. We spend a lot of time together and when we are off the field we talk about how the world is. We try to evade a bit. We talk about the situation of the pandemic in Spain, in Portugal …”.

Cristiano's frustration with his team's sporting situation: “He gives that feeling because he is used to the maximum. It is not a Juve thing because if he were in another team he would be the same. I see him happy there but what happens is that he is used to winning and it is normal that he is having a bad time how am I going, but he is happy there “.

Cristiano at Real Madrid?: “I've never thought about it. Maybe 4 or 5 years ago a friend would have asked me but you already know that I am not going to answer. I want Cristiano to stay at Juve because I want Juve to have the best players. I wish I had him around or what would make him happier because I would be happy for him ”.

The continuity of Morata: “When you are yielded, your opinion counts for little. I was happy at Atleti and I'm happy at Juventus. At the end of the summer they will tell me. I am happy here. It is the beginning of a new project ”.

Best wishes for Atlético: “I want Atleti to win the League because of what it means to them. I talk a lot with everyone. I asked Koke how many games he has left to be the 'athletic man'. I wish the best to Koke, Saúl, Marcos , to Jan … When you're in there you realize what it means, what it represents. “

Past departures from Llorente and Suárez: “I can't quite believe that their teams didn't love them. Marcos was surely loved. Marcos didn't love the way they loved him. Luis Suárez everything he touches goes inside. So I hope they are happy and win the League”.

Mbappé or Haaland: “Mbappé has shown more than Haaland but Haaland looks like an airplane. They are two different types. Haaland will dominate the position of center forward in the world. I think Mbappé will do it at all levels because he has dribbling, power, he has quality and also when I have talked to him when we have faced each other he has shown me that he is a good kid. “
