Spanish forward and captain Álvaro Morata was also asked about his future next season. “My future? I want to win a title with Atlético Madrid,” he replied.
“I feel ready, we are training well and are very eager for this game to come. I can’t wait.” Two days before the Spain-Italy match, Álvaro Morata expressed this in an interview with “La 1,” the main public television channel in his country.
Meanwhile, despite scoring a goal last Saturday against Croatia, the former Juventus forward continues to face criticism (especially on social media) for his performance with the Spanish national team, of which he is now also the captain.
“They are not criticisms, but expressions of hate and anger,” says Morata.
“I accept serious criticism because I am a professional, and it is part of the game. Sometimes I agree with it, other times I don’t, but it helps me improve,” explained the forward.
His name continues to be the subject of transfer rumors: will he leave Atlético Madrid?
“There are many things that carry weight,” Morata responded.
“And they are important. Then I want to win a title with Atlético Madrid,” said the forward, who spoke about his childhood idol.
“It has always been Fernando Torres, and when I meet him, I still have difficulty talking to him. I feel embarrassed. But I am proud to be close to him,” he revealed.
