00:00 I think that the experience I've gained throughout the year,
00:06 I've grown as a player and as a person,
00:10 but it hasn't changed much in my personal life or in my professional life.
00:16 I'm still the same, but the only thing I'd say is the maturity I've gained in the last year.
00:22 We're going to try to enjoy and make people enjoy, that's the important thing.
00:26 We're going to take away the pressure, we're going to try not to think about all the people watching us,
00:32 and as I've said, enjoy and make people enjoy.
00:34 It always motivates me that my family, my friends, all the people are watching me and supporting me.
00:40 In the end, I take it the opposite way, the pressure.
00:44 It's a pleasure to be able to play in front of my people, to play here in Spain,
00:50 and for me it's wonderful to be able to enjoy all the people here.
00:53 It's very different from all the tournaments I've been going to and playing.
01:00 For me it's a unique feeling.
01:02 The fans here in Madrid and the people here in Spain,
01:07 as I've said, I'm at home and in the end feeling that on the pitch is a unique feeling.
