On Athenea and not wanting to play for Barça: “I’m super comfortable where I am”
LAS ROZAS (MADRID), April 3. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish national team player Salma Paralluelo assured this Wednesday, two days before qualifying for the 2025 Euro Cup begins, that they are “on the path” towards being able to lift the continental title and add it to the World Cup and the Nations League recently won.
“Why not? We come from good dynamics, good play and good results. We are on the path, there is still a long way to go but we are doing things well so that this (winning the Euro Cup) can happen. We will have to be there but we will be prepared , for sure,” he said at a press conference.
The Barça Femení forward commented that they have many goals ahead of them and that they want to work to achieve them. “It’s true that we have many objectives, you finish one and another comes. Now we have qualification for the Euro Cup, then the Olympic Games, which is a super exciting challenge. We have to work to continue meeting objectives and get as far ahead as possible,” he pointed.
“The important thing is to try to meet the objectives on a collective level. On an individual level it is ‘cool’ to win things because they congratulate you at the end for the season you have been able to have and it is always welcome. But the important thing here, for everyone, is the collective” , he commented, giving more value to that possible Euro Cup than to winning the Ballon d’Or, for example.
Salma is key in Barça and also in Montse Tomé’s Spain, whether as a center forward or as a winger. “I have been varying between winger and forward and I am very comfortable in both positions, I play comfortably and I don’t have a favorite position. I am very happy for the season, for contributing goals and assists,” she said honestly.
On the other hand, he did not want to evaluate the recent statements of the former president of the RFEF Luis Rubiales, arrested this Wednesday upon his arrival in Spain from the Dominican Republic. “We are two days away from a game and we are thinking only about that, about sports,” he said.
Regarding the statements of her teammate in the national team and Real Madrid player Athenea del Castillo about her desire not to play for Barça even if it were the “last club”, she was clear. “Everyone has their own opinion. I can say that I am super comfortable where I am, and that’s it,” she added.
