The Spain striker Peterinjured in the match against Germany, spoke to the official channels of the Iberian Football Federation about the period he is going through: “It’s true that these are football things, many times those injuries, those misadventures happen to you. It was all so quick, when I fall to the ground I already feel that things are going badly, that something in my knee seems different. These are things that happen. I was coming off a difficult season for me, I had so many injuries, I didn’t have the continuity that I would like, a footballer likes to have that continuity more. When these accidents happen, you think about many things.
When it happened to me I wanted to stay on the bench, but I had to do some tests with the doctor. What I was thinking about was going out and cheering for my teammates, I was sure that Dani Olmo would do well, that the team would give everything and that we would definitely get through to the next round. The first few days are always the worst. When you can’t even walk, you suffer a lot…
You think about so many things, because it always happens to you, what you can improve on… In this case it was a hard blow and there is little that can be improved, but you always have to look on the positive side, it will help you try to improve and overcome the small stones that are in your path, it will make you stronger. Tomorrow’s challenge? I’m sure they will give it their all. May they make me become European champion!”.
