National team goal: “The one with the most continuity is De Gea and for me it has to be that way. Luis Enrique has a choice of young and more expert 38-year-old goalkeepers. David has an experience that is surely the one who is the most prepared. Kepa is going to pass it by worse for the signing of Mendy. There is also Asenjo, Pacheco … There are many names. “
Offers to go to Spain: “Yes, but none came to fruition. The culture in Spain sees a 38-year-old player as much older than he is in Italy. Here respect is different. In Spain they see you as an older player.”
Vertigo to withdraw: “When I have it very clear and I have six or seven months left, I will call on someone to help me. I want to prepare myself psychologically for whatever comes next. I will get the title of coach but you have to be prepared for when overnight stop entering a sports center. “

Assume playing less: “It's a step that helps. There are people who retire like Zidane playing a World Cup final. I was a starter three years ago and then I went to Milan. Last season it was a satisfaction to play at Aston Villa. Now in Lazio assume that you can't play every game and you have to get used to it. “
