—The Danish Super League is also stopped, but the teams do train.
—Yes, at the moment we do it in groups of four players, alternating one day on the grass and another in the gym. There is no confinement here, it is fine weather, you go outside and you see more or less normal life, although the shops are closed.
—What do they tell you from Spain, from Sant Joan, your family's town in Mallorca?
"From what they tell me and what I see on the news, it can already be seen that the situation with the coronavirus is as worrying as it is unexpected." Let's see if all this happens quickly. By complying with all the rules I am sure that it will.
—In football terms, you have had a difficult year at Copenhagen. You had a hard time adapting ...
-It is true. It is a different football than the one I was used to, much more physical, with other ideas, and then there was the language, which I did not understand. It was difficult, but now, before the break, I was finally fine. I feel calmer because I know that I have already managed to fit in well and with that football comes out alone.
—Víctor Fernández took your departure badly in the middle of the summer. He considered you a key piece. Remember?
"Yes, I knew what his position was." We had a talk and he tried to convince me to stay, telling me that in Zaragoza I could do great things. Staying was a good option, but Copenhagen was a chthat I couldn't miss.
—Did you ever regret leaving Zaragoza?
-Never. The decision I made was correct. It is that last year when making the jump to Zaragoza it also happened to me that it cost me. I know that little by little I pick up football and form and that my opportunity arrives. For me, Copenhagen was a difficult economic opportunity to reject and also the attraction of playing in Europe, although we stayed at the gates of the Champions League, but we reached the Europa League. Playing that tournament has been another dream.
"Did you plan to leave Copenhagen in January?"
"No, not at any time." I knew that the club trusted me and I was beginning to feel comfortable on the field.
"And this summer?"
—The future will be seen, Copenhagen is also a springboard to show my football and go to a bigger team in a stronger League. So I can't rule out going out this summer.
- To what extent have you been pressured to be the player with the most expensive transfer in the history of Danish football?
"I have hardly thought about it." Also, I don't feel the pressure to read and watch the news here either because they are in Danish and I don't understand anything. This makes it easier to disconnect. I have not noticed more pressure, not from the fans either, who are always very friendly. Here the fields always have many fans, in the normal matches there are usually about 20,000 of the 35,000 of the capacity, although in the Europa League it is almost full. On the street, you do notice that they recognize you but they are friendly and much more timid than in Spain.
—In that European competition your team's tie against Istanbul Basaksehir remained, pending the return, but the previous round you lived in Glasgow a night of glory, with a decisive goal included.
'Actually, it was my best night playing for Copenhagen. One of those days that makes the decision I made worthwhile. Now, I hope there will be many more.
- What they do not have easy is to reissue the league title.
—Midtjylland scores a lot of points (12) and there are two days left and the playoff. Here they are talking about trying to play again in May, although there are several options. It is quite complicated that we can be champions, but we must fight in case they fail.
- Zaragoza is very interested in them being, half a million euros in particular if Copenhagen as champion enters the Champions after the previous one.
-I know. They are interested in that economic part and I and Copenhagen are even more interested in what it means to be able to compete in the Champions League. Playing it would be much more than a dream come true, it would be something very special.
—How have you seen Zaragoza from a distance?
"Very well, they are where they deserve for the game they have made." Already in summer you could see the group and the atmosphere there was. I already felt then that great things could be done and they have shown it. With the players you have, it is normal for them to be on top.
"You trained with them about three weeks before leaving." Who has surprised you the most for your subsequent performance?
—Luis Suárez. I already saw that he was an area player, a scorer. He has shown it in the numbers, although I was a little surprised that he has scored so many goals. I am very happy for him, he is obviously the one who is standing out, but there are midfield players who are having a great performance like Guti and Eguaras, who are basic. The truth is that everyone was walking with the arrow up when the break came.
—He played a year in Aragon and another in Zaragoza. What does the Aragonese club mean to you in your sports career?
`` A lot, you just have to remember that he gave me the opportunity and I will always consider it as my home. At all times they treated me well and there in Zaragoza I met my girlfriend. All my life I will have that love and that thanks.
—Víctor Fernández's team was cherishing the promotion by being second when the break came due to the health crisis. What do you think LaLiga and the Spanish Federation will decide if the competition cannot be ended?
—The fairest thing is to try to finish as it is, that is undoubted, but with the situation that exists due to the pandemic it looks quite difficult and still as something far in time, because many people are catching it and it is dangerous to play in those conditions. If it ends up being suspended, each club will fight for its condition and Real Zaragoza has been up all year and I think that 31 days represent a lot of League already. I am sure this was the season to go up to the First Division and you have to fight for that promotion. Zaragoza, by club, by fans and by history, deserve it.
