Munoz: If you can beat Real Madrid at home, it will be a huge encouragement for us

This Saturday, Real Sociedad will face Real Madrid at home, and the team's left-back Iron Muñoz talked about his opponents and the competition among the team in an interview with Marca.

You were shocked by the head injury against Oviedo. This is not the first time

"I did feel dizzy at first because of the impact, but then it was just a lump, and that's it. It took me some time to recover because I still had a bit of gastroesophageal reflux, but I felt fine and could continue the game. I did hit my head many times in the competition. I remember that I was bleeding when I was at Celta and injured when I was at home against Espanyol. I had experienced many thrilling moments in the fight."

What's more difficult after that is to recover from the shock or to defend Hatsham Hassan

"In fact, he performed well after the game, and I think he was a very good player."

The overall performance of the team was not good that day, especially in the second half

"I don't think we started Wrong, there are many opportunities to score the opponent's penalty area, but if you can't score, they put a lot of pressure on us with the support of home fans, and then our game became difficult. I think the team often performs well at the beginning of the game, creates many opportunities, breaks to the bottom line, and shoots, but unfortunately it was not converted into goals, but I believe these goals will come sooner or later, and the results will improve accordingly. "

You were all lagging behind in the first few rounds of the game, and they failed to reverse the score. It has been nearly a year and a half since the turn of the game. Is such a statistics putting pressure on you?

"I know we have encountered difficulties in reversing, and we are close to doing this in the game against Valencia and Espanyol. The team's reaction to the first goal was pretty good, and I hope this year can change this trend. I personally don't Paying too much attention to this data, but it is indeed a problem we need to solve. "

Personal level, you start in two games and come on as a substitute in another game, how do you evaluate your performance? "I am satisfied with my performance, but I will not be satisfied or relaxed because football will soon bring you back to the original position. Obviously there is still a lot of room for improvement, and we are still adapting to the requirements of the new coach and his team. All we have to do is make good use of every minute and keep improving, and prove to the coach that I am a member of the starting lineup. "

This year your competitor is Sergio Gomez, and many people think you are more defensive, and he is good at offense, especially based on your respective characteristics. "It may be so, but my personal goal is to provide more help on the offense and improve my data, I hope to show A different type of me, a me who can contribute in other aspects, and I will work hard for this. "

What does the left-back list introduced by the club since you joined? "This means that every year I have to compete with different players, and I have been trying to fight for as much playing time as possible with a healthy competitive attitude. In the end, I think I have seized the opportunity and went all out, and the club expressed confidence in me. The thing that almost left the team that summer was in the past. Although there was a lot of talk at the time, I neither wanted nor relaxed now, because I knew that once I relaxed, I could not maintain the level I should be. "

The game against Real Madrid would be a serious test

Answer: It would be a tough game, but we longed to get all three points, which is also a good opportunity to show our strength. Regardless of the outcome, I see it as an opportunity to unite and build confidence. It would be a huge encouragement for us if we could beat Real Madrid at home.

Vinicius was placed on the bench last time against Real Madrid, which caused heated discussion. Do you hope Alonso will let him sit on the bench again this time? Mbappe looks like he will definitely start

"Vinitius is obviously a top player. Usually he is a decisive existence, and his absence does have an impact. But this is Real Madrid, and we have also suffered from blows from Rodrigo or Dias because they also maintained a high level of competitive performance. As for Mbappe, he is a world-class star, very influential, and also a very professional and full of fighting spirit."

You said that defeating Real Madrid will have a great boost to the new season. Is this particularly important for Real Sociedad? After all, there have been many changes in the locker room this summer. "There are indeed many changes, at least for me, I have never experienced this situation, I have always been used to working with Arguacill, and he is very important to me, thanks for everything he did for me, and taught me a lot."

"But now we have Sergio Francisco, and he has proved himself a good coach. Some important teammates left, but the people we left behind are trying to convey positive energy and contribute to the best possible. I think the club's signings are done well, and the new players are both capable and hardworking. , their joining will be of great help to us. "

There is no European mission this season, and this has put a lot of demands on you over the past five years, but you must be eager to return to that stage. "Yes, this touches me deeply because such a intensive schedule and long-distance trip is really hard, but it is also wonderful because you can compete with the best opponents and experience new things. We have to fight for it, at least that is one of the goals I most eager to achieve. As for the Copa del Rey, we hope to be able to reach the finals again, and we have been working on it for the past few years."
