After the extraordinary performance of the Spanish team to bring another European Cup trophy to the fans, the soul of the team, captain Morata was interviewed exclusively by the Spanish TV station La 1. His words were full of gratitude and emotion, not only expressing his deepest thanks to the fans who have been supporting the team, but also mentioning two seniors who have had a profound impact on his career - Iniesta and Bojan.
Feelings and trust
Morata began by expressing his heartfelt thanks to all those who put their trust in the Spanish team: "Thank you to all those who believed in us, we felt your trust from the very beginning. This positive message is a powerful motivation that will lead us to victory. I hope that the fans will be proud of the national team, as you can see, these 17 and 21 year olds, who with their talent and sweat have written a new chapter in Spanish soccer. I said before the start of the Euros that we have many good players and their performances prove it."
Memories of the Cup Winning Moment
Talking about the moment of holding the European Cup trophy, Morata's eyes glittered with tears: "From the age of 14, 15 when I began to enter the youth team, I have fantasized countless times about such a scene. Today, this has finally become a reality. All I can do is thank everyone, my teammates, and those who have worked quietly behind us to help us get here. This trophy belongs to each and every one of us, and it bears witness to our hard work and perseverance."
Dedicated to someone special
In the interview, Morata made special mention of two figures who mean a lot to him - Iniesta and Bojan. "I want to say hello to Iniesta, if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't be able to stand on this stage today. And Bojan, his help is equally important to me. The support of my family is what keeps me going, but Andres (Iniesta) and Bojan have had a far greater impact on my career than anyone could have imagined. I've long recognized them as players, but it was Andres' persona that really touched me, his encouragement and support that revitalized me. I now think of them with gratitude, and they are the ones who made me believe that no matter what the odds, things will eventually work out."
