In an interview on November 14, Spanish national team midfielder Merino said that he hopes to become a more comprehensive player.

Merino said this: "I am now in a very good goal-scoring state. Whether it is due to luck or skill, the ball is scored. Many of my friends and family will 'blame' me when I don't score. They are used to it, but this state is very difficult for a midfielder. It's not common for players. Hopefully this can last for a long time because it means I'm helping the team."

"My ability to face the goal has improved due to playing in the forward position, which has given me a better understanding of the space in the opponent's penalty area. Of course, these are staged performances. I am still improving and learning, and I will not set myself a specific goal or assist goal. I just want to become a more complete player. "

"When I was a kid, I imitated Villa and Torres. , Their characteristics are completely different, but I would imitate Villa's hair when I was a child. We won the European Cup, but when I was a child, I thought the World Cup was the most important competition. Now we are very close to participating in the World Cup and winning the World Cup is a dream for all of us."source:kết quả bóng đá m7
