Spain forward, Alvaro Morata has come out to say that the team is struggling with the weight of expectation at Euro 2020. He recently revealed that he feels sad for the current players because they are following a generation of geniuses.
According to him, the best thing is for the team to ignore critics because listening will not help performances at all.
Morata added that it is simply difficult for the present youngsters to fill the huge shoes that played the game before them.
His words, “If we listen to what people say that won’t help, because they are all waiting to pile on and criticise us.”
“Usually when big nations reach a competition like this, there is a sense of unity around them. We know that we’re following a generation of geniuses who won everything and it’s difficult for us to fill those shoes, but we have to believe in ourselves.”
On his latest miss, “The ball was travelling at an incredible speed and it was difficult to get it under control,”
“Perhaps I was too close to it and should have made a different choice.”
