Reflections on Football Career and Motivation
You look back and say, 'Jeez, look, I don't know if you're aware that at 16 in the Euros, at 18 in the World Cup,'
is that easy for you to process?
No, it's not easy. Always…
I think it's typical that at night people get nostalgic, so
I look at my photo gallery and see photos with my mother going to training,
when I played at La Torreta,
with my father, with my friends,
when…
when my friends would take me on the train, so…
There I have all my family, my mother, my father, my grandmother,
my cousin Moja, my friend Soja,
everyone, everyone has helped me a lot and that's why
I share it with everyone, now that I'm here.
And do you look at those photos in your gallery very often? Have you seen them these days, for example?
Yes, a lot, a lot, at night.
And if I send them, they send me photos and...
and we really enjoy those moments.
And what does that mean to you? A feeling of being good with yourself? An extra motivation too?
Yes, a motivation, I mean...
I have to give it my all, that's for sure, it makes...
Like I said, in the previous World Cup, I saw a photo showing that during the previous World Cup I was in class
and me with the iPad watching the Spain vs. Costa Rica match,
so, how am I not going to give it my all?
I want to win it and...
I was going to do my best to do it.

Echas a vista atrás e dices, joe, fíjate, no sé se eres consciente de que con 16 años en unha Eurocopa, con 18 en unha Mundial, iso é fácil de asimilar para ti? No, non é fácil. Sempre... Eu creo que é o típico que pola noite a gente se pone así nostálgica, pois miro mi galería de fotos e veo fotos con mi madre iendo a entrenar,
cando jogaba na torreta, con mi padre, con mis amigos, cando... cando me llevaban en tren mis amigos, entonces... Aí eu levo a toda a mi familia, a mi madre, a mi padre, a mi abuela,
a mi primo Moja, a mi amigo Soja, a todos, todos me han ajudado moito e por iso lo comparto con todos, ahora que estoy aquí. E iso lo ves moi a menudo, esas fotos en tu galería? Por exemplo, ahora estes días las has visto? Sí, moito, moito, polas noites.
E se las envío, me envían ellos fotos e... e disfrutamos moito esos momentos. E iso que te supone? Unha sensación de estar bien contigo mismo? Unha motivación extra tamén? Sí, unha motivación, o sea... Tengo que darlo todo, iso sí, hace...
Lo que he dicho, na anterior Mundial he visto unha foto de que na anterior Mundial estaba en clase e yo con el iPad viendo o partido de España contra Costa Rica, entonces, como no voy a darlo todo? Quiero ganarlo e... Iba a hacer al máximo por hacerlo.
