Esquire’s cover star Dani Carvajal gave an extensive interview where he spoke in detail about all the current football news. while he is recovering from an October 5 injury in which he suffered a torn ACL.a torn external collateral ligament and a torn popliteus tendon in his right leg.
“Now I practically walk without crutches, now I can go to the gym, ride a bicycle, I am gaining degrees of bending… These are short goals, but I am achieving them.” I am happy. This should be seen as a long-term thing.“The football player admits that despite the seriousness of the injury, he remains positive. maybe this can extend my career for several years…” hopes the football player.
The Real Madrid captain claimed to have received many messages of support, but there was certainly one that pleasantly surprised him. “It was from Cholo Simeone. A man who loves football and whom I admire a lot, apart from the competition, obviously.. I think we share the vision of watching this sport with great emotion and I remember that message as a special moment,” recalls a grateful Carvajal.
However, it should not be forgotten that Dani Carvajal was one of the voices thatand objected to a massive football calendar that there are many football players in the world. “At the end of the day, it’s not just the games, it’s the travel, the concentration, the little time at home. You just can’t keep up that level every three days. But hey! We are not responsible. What we see is pure business. more games, more money, more people making money.”
Golden ball
The player of the youth team of the Whites is aiming to go to the world club championship. At least, that’s his goal. In any case, the eight months of operation will end in June. for now, Carvajal continues to smile as he recalls what was the best moment of 2024in which we should not forget that he chose to win both “Golden Balls”.
In this regard, Carvajal refused to answer any questions regarding M the prize eventually won by Citizen Rodrigo. Basically, “because what I say will be misinterpreted.”
“I can only say, if I am not mistaken, I believe it I am the right back who finished highest in the Ballon d’Or“, he confirms.
Florentino Perez spoke about the voting system, journalists and the organization of the award ceremony.
However, it is not decided what to keep: scoring in the Champions League final or winning the European Championship. “Scoring a goal in the final of the Champions League is something special that will go down in history. To score a goal in the 15th and do it with a header from a corner, without being a tall player, was a very special moment for me. I think it’s equal to winning the European Cup. For me, playing with the national team and representing your country is a great honor, and winning a big title with Spain was incredible.
As for his future, he has no problem mentioning that he might even follow in his brother Joselu’s footsteps if he ever thinks about not wearing the white jersey. “It didn’t seem crazy to me. I have already said that if I ever leave Real Madrid, I will not play in Europe, I will not compete against Madrid either in the Champions League or in Spain. And that would be a likely destination“, confirms Carvajal, who misses stepping on the grass with his teammates.
