Here is Guti`s interview with sports daily AS.
- You’re on holiday while the Spanish national team had trouble getting
by Peru.
Well, that’s the luck of the draw. I would have liked to
be there to help out, but Luis made a list and he still has faith in his people.
The rest of us get to watch on TV.
- Is the team going to miss the
best version of Guti?
I don’t know. There are some great players
there but, again, I would have liked to have been one of them. Right now,
however, isn’t about what’s been lost but rather about Spain doing as well as
possible.
- Do you think Spain has a chance to win?
Yes. It’s a great team with young players who are title-hungry. Luck also
plays a part, but Spain is among the top four team player-wise.
- And
some of the best players aren’t even there.
There’s a lot of room
for opinions in football. Raúl, Joaquín? The list would have been different if I
was the coach. I am sure I would have included players who aren’t there. But
football is relative and it depends on everyone’s likes and dislikes.
- After a great yeat, it’s now time to rest up and begin thinking
about next season.
We deserve to have a little down time to enjoy
the summer. It was a good year, but we have to do even better next season. We
did well from start to finish on a national level, but Madrid has to do better
on a the European stage.
- Is this team good enough to duke it out
for the 10th?
Yes, we’ve got a great squad. If we don’t get too
banged up and reach key moments of the Champions League with every player
available, I’m sure we can do well.
- Can you see yourself lifting
the trophy?
I hope so. Whenever fans see me they tell me how eager
they are for us to do well in the Champions League.
- Who else
would you like to share a dressing room with?
I’m happy with who we
have now. Out team is well enough balanced that we don’t need to sign many
players.
