Pablo Fornals analyzed his return to the Spanish team after four years, keeping in mind the commitments against Georgia and Turkey, at the Spanish team’s press conference held in Ciudad del Futbol this Wednesday. … Gives the national team a ticket to the 2026 World Cup to be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico. It couldn’t have been otherwise, so they asked him about his team-mate at Betis, Isco, and the fact that he has two call-ups to the list for World Cup events and the possibility of him playing in place of his team-mate at Betis. Fornals replied: “That’s a big word. Isco I don’t need to introduce a great player with him. What a great illusion for the Betis people that we can be both, not Pablo or Isco.”
Fornals happened to be his father when he was last called away from Spain four years ago, and regarding this detail, the native of Castellon commented: “As a footballer, the circumstances in which I gave birth to my child, my child had to be born during such a holiday four years ago. I am angry because I cannot understand that a father has to be away for 10 days again.” Regarding the messages he has received in the past few days since learning of his call-up, he said, “I’ve received more messages than I did on my birthday. I have a lot of colleagues to credit, because while football is a team sport, it’s also an individual sport. So many people have congratulated me on being here and wished me luck.”
On his return to the national team, Fornals said: “A lot has changed. Last time I was there I had a different coach. Most of my teammates today were before their debut, but I’m happy and grateful to be here again and I’m very happy with myself. Belgium Under-21s – That’s always a great goal for me. But it’s important for any player to be able to enjoy the final moments of a match against the national team. I remember starting without playing and that goal marking my future. That tournament, and then I started playing as a starter.
Fornals was also asked about the differences between his previous three managers: Del Bosque, Luis Enrique and Luis de la Fuente, and answered: “In Vicente’s case it was unexpected. Before the Eurocup, other players have to play finals.” In the middle, I had to come and help my teammates. Imagine coming here as a 19-year-old and training with Cesc and Pedro. And in the case of Luis Enrique, I came during his time at Villarreal and was called up three times to West. Ham, if I had the opportunity to come to the national team, who is in a team that does not play in the league, if they looked at me, I would say no, and I think anyone who has seen it more often than me knows that that is not Lewis’ style. We looked back at the 29 games without a loss and the final stages we played. ”
Unsurprisingly, Fornals has been asked to be fired by Ramin Yamal because he has problems with his private parts. The Betis midfielder said: “I only met him for half a time. It’s obviously an important loss because he’s a great player and a player who represents the national team. Football, like life, waits for no one and we can’t lose focus on the two games we’re going to play and that’s what we’re focused on. How did we look at it? To be honest, I didn’t think it was bullshit, I saw him shake his hand and say goodbye because he had to practice. He wants to be here and he doesn’t.” We saw him at breakfast and he was our partner so we said hello and just left. I know that Nico, Lamine and Rodri are all having problems right now, but it’s natural that they can’t be here due to injuries.
Finally, on how he sees his team going into the World Cup with qualification on the horizon, Fornals admitted: “What can I say? Every footballer dreams of being here one day, but the speed of the ball is ferocious. I can say we’ve already learned a lot from them in three days. It’s a group that has been together for quite some time. Many of us have known each other since we were in the U-21 team and we look at them with the same humility and ambition.” In my case, I left four, or maybe some of them, years ago.
