Roig: “Now is when you have to keep your feet on the ground the most”

They are European champions …

Yes, we are European champions. We have achieved it, we are champions. With all that this means for the club and its people.

What madness at the end?

It was an incredible ending. I already said that in previous matches we were always zero to zero, so I said that we could draw and go to penalties. But what I did not think is that there were so many penalties, really.

How did you experience it?

I saw him at home, he was calm, since as we shot first and scored, things were more controlled. For me the problem would have been the other way around, because if they started and scored, it would have been worse. If we had missed any of the penalties, things would have been complicated, but since it wasn't like that, we could hold out well.

And the last penalty?

Once we were champions, I started jumping, I hugged my wife and went out on the terrace to scream, so I still have problems with my voice. At the moment I spoke with my son on the phone and I already began to see everything that happened on television, it was a very special night, and as I saw it on television, he could get along better.

And he could not see the final live. How was that heat?

The heat of not being in the final has already happened to me, it is true that it was a displeasure, but once I won the cup I was happy for the people, for those who lived there and enjoyed it. I am happy for those who were there, for the people who lived it here, the truth is that it is one of the great satisfactions for having lived this and that people could enjoy it.

And now that?

Now you have to put your feet back on the ground, get back on the ground and know that it is very difficult to do what we have done. We have won a title with a way of doing things, with a solid path and with a clear club and project idea, and that is the path.

They are going to ask them to win titles again, how are they going to handle it from now on?

Now we must be again with the discourse of knowing that this is very complicated and that without effort, without knowing where you come from, it is very difficult to achieve these objectives. We want to do things well, play a good role in the Champions League and be one of the teams in the League that can be with the best.

I mean, they shouldn't go crazy …

We cannot go crazy, we must know that the key is to always have an economic balance. The project must focus on the same bases, working well with the quarry and betting on making a good team that can compete with the best. But being aware that we are facing the best in the world, so winning the title we must celebrate it, but it cannot drive us crazy. The title is always to be in first, not to lose humility, and to be the same now as before.

He has a very special relationship with Pau, they are very close …

The relationship with Pau is very special, his video of the field towards me was incredible. On the day of the celebration he gave me his champion medal, he gave it to me, it is something very special. It is a pride to be able to have that medal.

And what about your future?

I don't know what will happen, let's see what happens. He is happy and very happy with us, he knows what it can be like next year at the club. We are aware of what is around him, we know that he is a sought-after player, but right now I don't know what could happen. He is satisfied and happy here, so we are calm. If something happens and it should ever come out, we know it must be a good thing for everyone.

Was the title thing something that you really expected when it arrived?

The idea was always to be among the best, to be in first class, to arrive in Europe and enjoy, winning the title was something we did not know. It is very difficult to win a title, it is very difficult to do so, it is something that cannot be required of a club like this to win titles. Only two teams win a European title every year, two from all over Europe, and one is us.

People want to touch the glass, take photos … Is it possible?

People must see the Cup, the photograph must be taken. That cup is theirs, so it will be available for everyone to see and photograph. In addition, we are going to take it to the towns of the province that want to enjoy it. The Europa League Cup belongs to the people, that's the most important thing, they are the ones who should enjoy it more than anyone else.

Are you aware of people's happiness?

The faces of the people on the street is something I will never forget. The happy and satisfied face of the fans is the best of everything I have seen and experienced these days. That happiness of the people is not paid for with anything.

Are they going to make a better team like they always say?

We are not going crazy. We are going to make a team with which to improve the team we have now, but that is something we always do and always say. We know that we must work to improve, but as I said, the budget and spending must be similar to what we have this season. We will work to improve, but we will not go crazy.
