At centre-back.

Aside from Javi López, who I already knew, the player who surprised me the most was Dani.

  • Which of the players in the squad do you feel the most affinity with?

The one I bonded the most with was Gato, as we used to travel together. Also, with Dani and Miguel, for our positions on the field. But the truth is that I get on very well with everyone; we were like a family last year and there was a very relaxed atmosphere in the dressing room.

  • What do you hope for next season?

On a group level I would like to maintain a family atmosphere in the dressing room and of course, to reach the goals we have set.

On an individual level, I would simply like to enjoy this beautiful category.

I would choose the match in Marbella. For our performance and especially because of the way we played.

Puyol and Sergio Ramos.

Suso.

  • Do you have any ritual before the matches?

I go onto the field jumping sideways.

  • Do you have any hobbies?

I have many, but most of them don’t go together with football… like Padel, Enduro, Snow etc.
