00:00There are 30 very good players, and it's a joy and honor to be selected.
00:19It was a year of a lot of change.
00:23At the end, to get out of your country is a beautiful challenge, but it can also be a bit of a shock.
00:31Obviously, having to win a title like the Champions, it makes the balance very good.
00:38But even before that final, the balance that I did was very positive.
00:45I think what I was looking for was to have that challenge, I got it.
00:52Also, I adapted it quite quickly.
00:54Everyone in the club helped me a lot.
00:57The truth is that at the level of learning a new language, a new culture,
01:04at the beginning, there was a lot of change, but as I already said, they put it very easy.
01:09I enjoyed it very well, I enjoyed it a lot.
01:11There have been moments that are not so good, obviously, but the balance is very good.
01:18At the level of selection, we have classified for that final phase of the Nations League.
01:23And in the Euro, despite losing that final against Inglaterra,
01:31I have several compis and I have to congratulate them because they have won two Eurocopas and that has a lot of merit.
01:41Obviously, we wanted to win and it was the goal.
01:44But we also have to value that it was the first time we went to the semi-final and the final.
01:50Obviously, we don't agree with that.
01:52We want more and it hurts the final.
01:55But I think it's a generation that keeps making history and we need to learn from the errors and look forward
02:02because we are already thinking about winning again.
02:05I think that at the end, we need to adapt to all situations.
02:10I think that the ADN of the Barça, that we always want to have the ball,
02:15that we want to be associated with, to attack, is the football that I like.
02:19It's true that in Inglaterra, there are a lot more open games, with transitions above and below,
02:25but that has also made me work and improve my defensive field more when I'm in a more delayed position.
02:33But at the end, every game is different.
02:36You change the selection, the club, and what matters is to adapt to each context
02:41and from there, try to win.
02:44I think that no one ever gets tired of winning.
02:46At the end, we are professional footballers, we love competing
02:51and obviously, you work every day to try to win.
02:55Everyone wants to win, that's why it can't always happen.
03:00But obviously, I hope I will win many more titles,
03:07those that I have, those that I have left, and that's the goal.
03:10The truth is that it's a very prestigious prize,
03:14and there are only 30 players, you see all the players that have left out,
03:18that are top-level, and it's an honor.
03:22Obviously, it's a pleasure to recognize your job.
03:26Well, there are 30 players very, very good,
03:29and it's an honor to be selected.
03:33It would be wonderful that now, the fifth consecutive team
03:36will stay in Spain.
03:39But at the end, what we have to do is play and win
03:43in our teams, in our clubs, and from there,
03:46there are judges, there are people who decide,
03:49but that doesn't change your job in the day-to-day.
03:53In Spain, there has been a very big change.
03:56The talent has always been there, but maybe a little bit
03:59a little bit, maybe, in that sense.
04:01And I think that, well, that all the context that we have now,
04:05that we have now, that we are having,
04:07that all that talent can be developed.
04:10And at the end, we have very good conditions,
04:13in clubs like Barça-Madrid,
04:16in the selección, now in the federations.
04:19At the end, we can be able to heal that talent,
04:22work it, teach it.
04:24And I think that, at the end,
04:26obviously, the fruits have been seen.
04:29It's been many years of a lot of work,
04:31and now, there is this generation that is winning.
04:35And I think that is the mix between talent,
04:38and the work, and all the different staffs,
04:42and professional staffs that, at the end,
04:45help us and teach us,
04:47and that very competitive and winning mentality.
04:50In the next season,
04:52that league that has resisted us this year,
04:56is something that makes me a lot of joy.
04:59Obviously, winning the Champions also,
05:01and we have this Nations League with Spain.
05:04As I said before,
05:06everything that is winning,
05:08it doesn't go well.
05:09If you are putting goals,
05:11or helping other ways,
05:13I'm obviously very happy.
05:15But, well,
05:16I hope it will be a season with titles.
05:19Now,
05:20we've already rested a little bit
05:21and we're going to start again.
