At the moment, the forward Fernandas Morientes, who was rented from a Spanish superclub to a French club for one season, gave an interview to a Spanish radio. Here are some excerpts from this conversation. The 27-year-old Spaniard speaks:
... about the possibility of representing the national team in the European Championship "I hope to represent the national team not because of the goal scored on Wednesday (in a friendly match between the Spanish and Danish national teams - ed.). I believe I deserve to be in the national team - that 21st goal in 31 matches with the national team is something special and very important to me. In Portugal, we must aim for the highest goals - Spain finally has to become the European champion."
... about the upcoming second leg of the Champions League quarterfinal against "Real" "Of course, on the field we will try to overcome the two-goal deficit, but I understand that it will be very difficult to do so. If we give only 100% effort - "Real" will move forward. On the field, we must give more than 100% effort."
... about scoring a goal against "Real" "Playing at the Santiago Bernabeu (Real's stadium) was a bit strange for me. However, the applause I received after scoring a goal against "Real" was very pleasant and will stay in my memory for a long time. I dedicated this goal to the victims of terrorist attacks in Madrid."
... about the possibility of joining "Monaco" "I know that "Monaco" wants to buy me, but their financial situation may prevent them from doing so... Well, we'll see soon what happens. Last year I was even linked to three clubs, none of which was "Monaco", but as you can see, I ended up here."
... about Ronaldo and Raul "They are among the best forwards in the world. Personally, Raul is the best for me - without him, Real would not have won many titles. His contributions to the team are not only goals - just his presence in the team gives a lot."
