“There is no other than Bielsa trains a great in a year or two,” says Herrera

The exrojiblanco Ander Herrera He is one of those crazy soccer players. The now PSG player was pending until the last moment of the closing of the transfer market of this window. “Surprised, or more than that, resigned with that brutal power of the Premier, gaped with investments like Leeds (from Marcelo bielsa), who is a recently promoted ”, he launched. It must be remembered that he left Athletic in his day to sign for Manchester United.

Speaking to the Ser, the Bilbao native also admitted that “what I breathe at the club is that it was spent two or three years ago, it cannot be spent again, I myself came free (to PSG). It is not that our sheikh does not have, that I think he has a lot, but you have to comply (with financial fair play) ”.

About the last Champions, Herrera He commented that “it was a shame, we had had a practically perfect season. It is true that here we are forced to win the national titles and it seems easy, but then you meet Olympique de Lyon that gets into the semi-finals of the Champions League.. That adds value to what we have done here. The final was a shame, we didn't do the ones we were clear about in the first half. And they put it in, we must also recognize the merit of Bayern, they have had a fantastic year and they have a great team ”.

When it comes time to hang up your boots, you have more or less thinking about where you can direct your steps. “I can't see myself on the bench although I do not close the door to anything, but now I think I will not be a coach. It is a very complicated task. The ball hits the post, goes out and the work of the whole week goes to hell. It is not easy, the egos of footballers, and the environments of footballers, of young boys, are complicated. I would suffer a lot from day to day having to manage changing rooms, especially at the highest level. It would be more of a sports direction ”, explained the midfielder, who recalled that with his father Pedro Herrera, Zaragoza's sports director when he was a child, they watched videos and games before signing. For example, those of Gustavo López or Kily González.

With respect to BielsaNow at Leeds, he told an anecdote and linked it to his vision of where he sees him in the near future. “In my last year in Manchester, Juan kill I wanted to meet him. We went to eat with him in Leeds, I asked him to see if we could get together and chat about football for a bit. I was excited because Mata, who is a good friend of mine and a soccer fan like me, met him. That I learn and have the opportunity to share with him. It unites me (with Marcelo) I would not say a friendship, but a very good relationship. I asked him if he had changed a little with respect to the way he squeezed, at least in his time in Bilbao. He told me that yes, the workouts were no longer two and a half hours long, I had lowered the piston a bit. So, if that is true, because the results are there, there is no other that trains a great next year or two years from now ”, he recalled Herrera.

The PSG medium has not entered the last calls of the selection, but does not lose hope. “I would love to represent my country, I was delighted when I did. I work for it, but I understand that you have to have a regularity to play Sunday yes, Sunday too. We are going to try, we are going to try to be in all possible lineups, work … I think the Champions League went very well for me, perhaps I had some hopes after the Champions League, but we must respect the work of the coaches. You have to respect Luis EnriqueThere is a very good selection and what is breathed and the feeling that it gives from the outside is very good. You have to fight to try to be there and, if not, to support from outside ”, he said.
