The only thing that matters to me is competing and trying to win the game ahead of us. Nothing more. ”
17:02BEST GIMÉNEZ AND SUÁREZ“We have had to win without the best Giménez or Luis Suárez. It is a state of mind, of confidence, of security of those who can play. But speaking of their hierarchies, being both at a high level, the team has great strength in both areas. Giménez needs the team to defend well and Suárez also to have opportunities. ”

If I have to play tomorrow , I will support inside or outside. I am looking forward and looking forward to this tournament and what remains “
16:56PLAY IN SAUDI ARABIA“Everything is respectable. I don’t think anything about what others say, like Raúl García. Everything that is growing the club in terms of image and representation is important. The tournament is like that and you have to play where you play. It’s a semi-final, We don’t think about where we play. All the fans are going to support us wherever they are. ”
16:55FAVORITE POSTER“It’s going to be an intense, beautiful game, we’ve known each other for a long time. The only thing that worries me is how to get into the game, bring the keys that the coach asks of us. The issue of favoritism or not is put by others. What worries me is to put what the coach asks me to put those keys and be able to win “.
16:53OBLAK AND HIS RACHA“Jan we know the level of player he has, he is the best goalkeeper in the world. This year we are not having the fortune of saving him because he touches one and enters or they mark us, but he is seen with enormous security. He is the second captain. We see him strong.
