Morata: “It is possible to retire from the national team after the Euros – There is no respect in Spain”

His statements caused an impression Alvaro Morata a few hours (09/07) before his semi-final Euro 2024 between the Spain and the France.

The Atletico Madrid forward left the possibility open to withdraw from the “fury rocha” after the end of the event, while he also referred to lack of respect that exists in his country.

“I might leave the national team, it’s a possibility I don’t want to talk about too much, but it’s possible. The time for me to leave is getting closer and closer every day. I said I really want to win titles with Atlético, but we have to weigh what’s worth it and what’s not“, he initially said and continued:

“I am a person who is proud of the effort I have made throughout my life, the sacrifices and, above all, a good person who thinks more about others than himself. And a good father, which is far more important than any title. Setting an example for our children is incomparable to anything else. I am not unhappy, but it is true that in my Spain it is very difficult to be happy. Something always comes up in the end“, while he continued:

“When I come home I’m always happy, but in public I feel like I’m “naked” and maybe that doesn’t allow me to give everything I’ve got. It is often very difficult to be in Spain because there is always someone who says something… I was criticized for crying about a yellow card, when it was because I was with my national team, being the captain in the semi-finals. I’d cut off an arm to win the Euros, but I’m always criticized.

In Spain, there is no respect for anything or anyone. If we win, I will hug my family and leave with my head held high,” says the captain of the national team“, were, characteristically, his words Morata.
