Llorente: I don t feel sorry for not being selected for the national team, because I haven t been called up for the whole season

Recently, Atletico Madrid midfielder Llorente was interviewed by "The World Sports", and he talked about the topics of not being selected for the national team, the Club World Cup, and Baenna's closest joining the team.

Individual and Team Season Summary

"From a personal perspective, I'm very satisfied with this season. I've got a lot of playing time, scored a lot of goals and contributed assists, which is the most important part of football. Being able to play continuously and show your abilities to the coach every weekend, this year has been very smooth for me."

" As for the team, we've performed very well at home, but we've had a lot of difficulties away, which is also our main problem this season. If we want to strive for higher goals next season, we have to solve this problem. Now we There is a Club World Cup, which is an important event, and we need to prove ourselves through it. "

Thinking about intensive schedules

" Indeed, the schedule of the game is very crazy now. I think the number of games every year has reached a very high level. Fortunately, I don't need to play the national team, but for those players who are going to play the national team just after the league is over and then directly participate in the Club World Cup, which is a big burden for them. "

"We have to adapt to this high-intensity rhythm and avoid injury as much as possible. Modern football has very high physical demands until one day we may really not be able to withstand this pressure anymore. But now, we can only keep working hard and take care of ourselves as much as possible. "

What it is like not being selected for the national team

" To be honest, I don't feel sorry because I haven't been drafted all season. So there is no expectation to be selected this time. I have always said that playing for the national team is a wonderful thing, but the most important thing is the club, the daily effort. If the national team's opportunity comes, that's good. If not, I won't feel sad or angry, I just treat it as As a reward. Since I haven't been called up for a year, there will be no expectations in the future."

Regarding the transfer market and the joining of Baena

"You may know the news about the transfer market better than me, and I don't care much about this. However, I heard that Baena's transfer is very close. As a player, I really hope he can join. He is a very outstanding player, and I believe he will help us a lot and improve our strength. Moreover, he is a Spaniard and is familiar with La Liga. These are positive factors, and I hope this transfer can be finally completed."
