Spain’s national team captain: “Wanted to come up with an injury and not go to Euro 2024”

Spain’s national team Alvaro Morata, who was a team captain for Euro-2024, acknowledged that he was fighting depression and did not want to go to the European Championship a year ago.

“It starts in your body and you don’t know what is happening. You have a leg hurt, you can’t breathe. I was afraid to go to bed because I thought I would not wake up. I was afraid of everything around. ”

“In the match could not normally monitor where the ball is. It all started during Chelsea’s speeches, it was a difficult period. I had a lot of bad thoughts, terrible thoughts about what to do with me. ”

The player did not want to go to Euro-2024, but the legend of the Spanish national team Andres Iniesta, who had depressed during his career, advised Alvaro to go to the tournament and good emotions to help himself.

“I thought about making an injury and not going to the euro. He felt very bad. But in the end everything happened well. Victory with your team at the European Championship is the best thing that may not want to give depression anymore, ”Morata said.

Last season, the player performed in Milan and Galatasarai.
