According to the athletic, Lucas Vazquez was interviewed by the media about his performance this season and his outlook for the Champions League semi-finals.
Vazquez said: "You have to know that playing at Real Madrid is a difficult thing to do, so you have to be patient, the key is to be ready when the opportunity comes. I think it's the best season of my career and you can tell from the stats. I didn't play many games in the beginning and I was more and more in the starting lineup after The Camp Nou got the chance, which gave me a lot of confidence. ”
'In the world of football, you can never stop learning and improving yourself physically and technically, this season I played at full-back, full-back, winger, which made me a more competitive player, I feel very good and full of confidence.
"You have to adapt to all kinds of situations, this season is full of difficulties, a lot of injuries, the outbreak of the new crown, the situation of the players is very unstable, you have to contribute everything to Real Madrid. The players know how to unite when necessary and show real cohesion. No one is irreplaceable, and everyone gets the opportunity to play because of good performance. ”
Regarding Zidane, Vazquez said the legendary Real Madrid coach has excellent communication skills and charisma.
Vazquez said: "Zidane will not hide from you, he will let you know clearly what he wants of you." I can tell you that Zidane would communicate with me when I wasn't getting a chance, boost my confidence, and he told me, 'Stay calm, Lucas, you'll get your chance.' Keep working hard, and everything will naturally come to fruition. 'It gives me a lot of confidence and it's the secret to keeping all the players ready at all times. ”
"Zidane will give advice to the players and let the players make their own decisions. He has a detailed plan for the game, so you can clearly know what he expects of you, and at the same time, he gives you a certain degree of freedom, he allows the players to have their own performances, and ultimately he helps the players become the best version of themselves. ”
Previously, Vazquez suffered a cruciate ligament injury in a collision with Busquets in the national derby against Barca, which also led to him having to spend the Champions League semi-finals between Real Madrid and Chelsea in the stands.
Vazquez said: "It's a mixed feeling, it's a pleasure to reach the semi-finals, but not being able to play is always a tough thing, but the most important thing in football is always the team. ”
"Chelsea started off very strongly, they pressed very close, they controlled the ball, they created a lot of chances and we were lucky not to concede a second goal. We were a little too far behind, which led to the inability to play our own football, but Karim Benzema's goal played a big role, in this kind of big game, maybe you can't play the best style, but as long as the defense is solid, everything is open. ”
"The second leg will be tough, Chelsea have a clear goal and play well. The key is to accept some of the difficult moments in the game and seize the opportunity to score. ”
