Unai Simon: Yamal has a lot of room for improvement, I hope he can manage his reputation well

Recently, Unai Simon was interviewed by Ser Radio. He talked about the current situation of the national team, La Liga overseas games and discussions about the national team goalkeeper position.

There is always a lot of controversy surrounding the national team

"Although we only want to talk about football, we understand the situation in the real world. I wish I could just talk about football, but I can guess the direction of the problem."

You have played 52 times for the Spanish national team

"Hope it continues to increase, preferably Add another game against Georgia. "

Do you think you are the main goalkeeper of the national team?

"I am currently playing, but there are two other high-level goalkeepers, both Remiro and Raya. We are all ready to guard the team this time. Does matchday help you?

"I think it helps the team, September is difficult for Athletic Bilbao, and winning before matchday is also good for us."

Athletic Bilbao's rotation policy

"We have a team that needs to rotate, we can't just play with 12 or 13 players throughout the season We know that this year's Champions League will be very difficult, and it is true. The coach has to find a balance between the competitions, and we have to be ready to play at any time."

The absence of Nico Williams

"He is one of the most decisive players in our team, although we did not win in his absence, but he came back. Then we won against Mallorca. He is an important player for us, he is unique and we want him to be on the pitch all the time. "

Atletico Bilbao furious over Nico Williams' injury

"As players, we are in two dynamics. If a player is injured during international duty, clubs are understandably angry. This is a problem for the club, but if he gets injured at the club, it is also a loss for the national team. This is modern football. I understand the club and the fans, but injuries are not an option. "

Regarding Flick's remarks

"I don't know whether the players reported I reported my discomfort and the training plan here is quite flexible. Trying to get the players to compete at their best, they really take care of the players here. "

Do you think your club is putting pressure on the national team because of injuries?

"During the European Cup, I injured my wrist, but I decided to compete. Athletic Bilbao always asks if a player is fully fit and if not, they will inform the Football Association. "

On the goalkeeper position and Juan Garcia

"I'm not the one who decides who plays. I think Juan Garcia performed well. By the same token, any goalkeeper who performs well should have a chance. The head coach must lead three goalkeepers. Juan Garcia is great and all three of us are great. I don't believe in the pressure of big clubs. I know the manager very well and he doesn't care much about outside opinions. "

Just like the examples of Valdes and Casillas

"Having teammates like Remiro and David Raya made me improve. I learned a lot from them, especially in terms of passing, which is an inspiration to me. I know Juan Garcia will probably compete for my spot, but whoever plays, the team is guaranteed. "

About the game in Miami

"I don't like this arrangement, if both clubs put money before the wishes of their fans... I don't know. No wonder a club like Villarreal would play Barcelona somewhere else instead of at home in front of their own fans. It undermines the fairness of the game and I hope it doesn't happen, but if it does it's acceptable. "

Whether it destroys the fairness of the game

"Maybe Villarreal fans don't think so, I think playing at home makes you very strong. And to face Barcelona in a neutral venue full of opponents' fans, I think it will affect the game. "

On Morata's loss

"It feels strange that he is not in the team. He has a lot of experience and respect. We all miss him but the manager has The decision has been made and I hope he can come back soon. "

About Yamal

"What we see on TV is what he conveys to us. He is born with football talent. In addition to his skills, he also knows how to play football. This is something he was born with, and he has a lot of room for improvement. Hopefully he can manage his reputation well, but I think he has a clear mind and hope to see him soon. "

About Nico Williams not moving to Barcelona

"Obviously, I would prefer him to be at Athletic Bilbao rather than other clubs. But I hope he is well and I hope he is happy. I would also be happy for him if he accepted another offer, although I would be sad, he is the ball A role model on and off the field. ”

San Mames’ tribute to Palestine

“It was very beautiful, I think it was the first club in La Liga to pay tribute to refugees.” I didn't get to see it on TV, but I heard it was very touching and a great sign of respect for the Palestinian people. "

About Laporte's joining

"I miss him very much in the national team. He makes life interesting and I am very happy about his joining. "

About the penalty shootout

"I think luck always plays a role in this situation, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, and hopefully we can resolve the game without going into a penalty shootout. "
