After scoring in 3 consecutive games, Huang Qian forward Moreno said: I considered retiring due to injury, but I chose to persevere.

After getting rid of injury troubles, Villarreal forward Gerald Moreno has shown excellent form recently. He has scored goals in 3 consecutive games. In an exclusive interview with "AS", Moreno talked about injuries, Villarreal and other topics.

About scoring 3 goals in the previous 30 games but recently scoring in 3 consecutive games

I have been lucky enough to score goals in the last few games, which has helped me a lot psychologically. Not only the physical state needs to be improved, but the mental state is equally important. Being able to help the team through scoring goals and performing on the field gives me a lot of confidence. I hope to continue this form and contribute more to the team.

About the importance of a good state to one's own confidence

I don't worry about proving anything, I only care about how to maintain a stronger mental state. The past period of time was very difficult and even made me think about giving up. Frequent injuries and recurrences forced me to make psychological adjustments every day. The support of my family is very important to me and helps me through difficult times. I feel great now and hope to keep it that way.

As for whether I have considered retiring,

I will not deny it, especially after the comeback last season and this season, the pain was unbearable. Fortunately, my family and supportive people made me realize that football makes me happy and makes me special. Although I thought about giving up, in the end I chose to persevere.

As to whether I am afraid of getting hurt now

It is not so much fear as a lingering negative thought. This thought comes up every time before a game, but I try to focus so that this fear doesn't get to me. When I'm on the court, I just focus on the game and don't think about anything else. The good performances in the last few games have given me a lot of confidence.

On whether I’m looking forward to a good season ending with the World Cup

I’m just thinking about enjoying every game every day. Of course, it would be wonderful to go to the World Cup and forget the pain of the past. But it's too far away for me and I just want to focus on the game in front of me.

About the team's outstanding performance in the league

We have shown strong stability in the league, winning many games and only losing to Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Our goal is to continue to be competitive and win every game.
