My father also had some anecdotes about Maradona, although most of them are not suitable to be told publicly. He said that Maradona was the best on and off the field. Player."

Your father later became a coach, which had a great influence on you

Being able to get close to football as a child, coupled with the many years of football experience from my father and grandfather, gave me a deeper understanding of the sport. Being able to participate in those trainings was a great success for me. Incredible experience."

The early death of your father due to illness has had an impact on your career

It may be difficult for new players to adapt to coach Hilardes' tactics

" You have to adapt to the rhythm of La Liga and European competitions. Playing two games a week requires adapting to a new plan. Everyone must be ambitious, constantly improve themselves, and contribute more to the team. "

You have worked for many wealthy clubs. Playing for, working with many world-class stars

"It's difficult to choose a player who impressed me the most. In my position, Ramos, Pique, Thiago Silva, Terry and Cahill all left a deep impression on me. In the national team, Iniesta, David Silva and Busquets took the national team to another level. As for forwards, Benzema, Ronaldo, Diego Costa, Morata and Lukaku are all very good. Hazard and Pedro are also very good at Chelsea. Hazard failed to succeed at Real Madrid, mainly because of injuries. "

You became teammates with Aspas
