Leo Presented its credentials as suction to participate in the soccer of stars in the classic one of the last season in the Bernabéu. An injury in the foot denied the possibility of participating to him in the return match. Year later, still taking rate after nine weeks of loss,

Pregunta. Troubles the visit to Him of Madrid?
Respuesta. No, is not that. Good, I am nervous because I have desire of which the party begins. And more after the elimination before the Liverpool.
P. Like has assumed that the champion has remained outside Liga de Campeones?
R. With quarrel. He was complicated to give the return to the round after the defeat in the Camp Nou, although we needed very little to obtain it: only gol.
P. Like forward, feels like culprit?
R. No, guilty we are all, but it is truth that would have to mark more goles.
P. Rijkaard has decided to bet by the attack game and in Zaragoza to you you were called on to him to stick to the left band. Nothing new, on the other hand, because it often played in that position. A spectacular party of youthful remembers to him against Seville.
R. Yes, in the inferior divisions I played some there veces.
P. But to you not him gustaba.
R. Not much, is truth. In the 3-4-3 always it played of end in the rhombus, behind the forward centro.
P. Of 6?
R. How? Of what?
P. Of 6, like Bakero in dream team.
R. Yes, there, behind the forward. It did not know yes that they called 6. I have seen videos him of dream team. They played of wonder. There it is where I more like to play. This is different. I want to play. So it gives me equal where. If the equipment is good to open the field, treatment of hacerlo.
P. Is a dangerous and demanding system. Prefers It to others?
R. It is well. I like to play thus, although, it is certain, she demands much. Watch in Liverpool: we ran much, but it did not come out well; it was a pity. It is truth, is a system that demands much responsibility. In Zaragoza, for example, I had to run much defensively with Diogo, but when you take hold the ball is a one against one and that I like, he is fácil.
more P. is not easy to see him do a one against uno.
R. Not Always are aids to the lateral one. He is complicated. For that reason often I look for happens on the inside, because, if the rival defends itself well, he is better not to lose the ball; then, I look for.
on the inside P. Is what Rijkaard requests to him?
R. Rijkaard, no; it leaves to me. Rijkaard insists on the position and all that. But, when you have the ball, little it can say to you. It is necessary to play it and to look for the way to arrive at gol.
P. has not marked from its return of the injury and] does not take to too many five either goals [. In the inferior divisions gol.
had more R. Yes, but it is soccer. In Zaragoza, the closing went to the wood; it goes as it goes. Hopefully it can mark a goal against Madrid. Would be fantastic, the best way to forget lesión.
P. the defenses usually they are not very merciful with you. Tiene fear to injure itself?
R. No, does not have anything to do. But soccer is being every harder day. And not only with me. To Ronnie [Ronaldinho] kills kicks to him and they do not toot a lack to him because it is not thrown. It has much force and more patience than santo. The referees could protect a little to the forwards more, but, as they do not do it, it is necessary to jump and callar.
P. Two years in First Division and counts two injuries. Worries to Him?
R. I am not calm, are things of soccer. He is something horroroso to be injured. I do not see nor the parties of badly that it step. It does not know the desire that I must to play partidos.
P. Specially motivates to Him to play against Madrid in the Camp Nou?
R. Good, it is a special party because it is Madrid. But, at heart, it does not stop being the one of always: two equipment, eleven players…
P. Always think that there are parties and parties, fields and fields. Not for you?
R. No; for me, all are equal. Good, if it had to emphasize a field would be the Monumental one, of Buenos Aires, because there I played for the first time in Argentina and with my national selection. That one yes recuerdo.
P. It finishes arriving from Anfield. It will not say to me that alone did not make an impression to him to listen to You'll never walk…
R. What?
P. the hymn of the Liverpool: Nunca you will walk solo.
R. Ah, good, yes, a great atmosphere, but I do not pay attention much. To me the fields that I like more are those in which they put with me and with my equipment. Those motivates to me. They give many desire me to do it well. I prefer to play in Madrid, for example. That me gusta.
P. Also it seems that it likes that they kick to him. In Liverpool it answered the first tarascada of Arbeloa requesting ball to the foot and looking for for regate.
R. to him Yes? I do not decide to me. I do not know it… Een the field, I do not think. Good, I only think about that they give the ball me. Yes, it is in the only thing that I think, in having it to be able jugar.
P. and, when has it, thinks?
R. No; when I have it, game. I do not invent regates nor anything. He leaves like sale.
P. Worries to know to Him who will mark to him?
R. Absolutely. I do not prepare the parties. Work during the week to be and I well physically listen the trainer, sure but of the rival it gives equal everything almost me: not me importa.
P. Sabe that Roberto Carlos does not play?
R. does not play? It did not know. Good, other will play that will try to do just like él.
P. What Madrid hopes?
R. They finish to him eliminating, like a we, of the Glass of Europe. So, psychically, we are in a similar situation. I wait for a Madrid that complicates much to us the things because it has quality and good players, like Gago, that I like much. Ganar.
will not be easy P. Of the course passed to the present one, has changed its roll?
R. No; it has changed my relation. Man, is not that he does jokes to them to the veterans, but I feel more integrated, looser, speak más.
P. And in the field?
R. Always I felt the respect of my companions, first in saying to me that it faced, that played without fear. They helped me much. I continue learning of them and outside the field inside. I must learn of everything. And in that I am. I speak more, but not too much because I continue listening to much mayores.
P. And which is its diagnosis on which it happens to him to the equipment?
R. We are well, with desire. There is no problem.
