Kubasi: I m looking forward to the El Clasico, it would be even cooler to win at the Bernabeu

Hupu News on October 9 Recently, Barcelona and the Spanish national team's young central defender Kubasi accepted an interview with "AS" and talked about the upcoming El Clasico, the national team, his personal life and his ambitions... The following is the second half of his interview.

Next is the El Clasico. Is this a decisive battle for the championship? It was last year, and it has been the case many times

It is very likely that it will be the same this time, because the national derby is the top competition in the football world. We all dream of playing this game, it is always decisive and unpredictable, no matter which team is in better or worse shape. The next game, on the 26th, will be a complex and difficult matchup. Although the league is long, the national derby almost always determines the championship. Real Madrid have good momentum, but I think this interval will be good for Barcelona.

Are you eagerly awaiting the arrival of the 26th?

Yes, we all want to play El Clasico. From the first game I played, I knew this was a different game. The next game will be at the Bernabeu, which always has a special atmosphere, a cool stadium... If you win at the Bernabeu, it's even cooler.

Was the last Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid your best game? Of the games I've watched, I think it's

thank you so much, that was probably one of the best games I've played so far, but not just me, but the whole team. It was a great final because Real Madrid also played well. The game was decided at the last moment and lady luck was on our side, but it was a very exciting final.

Would you choose a Champions League final against Real Madrid or a World Cup final against Brazil?

If possible, I would like both!

I guess you are looking forward to participating in your first World Cup, right?

I am very much looking forward to it and looking forward to winning it. The World Cup is the highest level of competition and it will be fantastic to represent Spain and go out with the national team. With our current good momentum, being able to compete for the championship is already a great thing in itself.

Maybe you will team up with Huizen? I ask because you may have been together for many years like Ramos and Pique.

Huizen is very good, just like other central defenders in Spain. The partnership between Ramos and Pique is legendary, but Huizen and I both have room to grow and improve, and we both want to achieve great heights.

Do you play "Fortnite"?

To be honest, I don't play PlayStation games.

I didn’t see you have a tattoo either. Are you hiding it?

No, I don’t have it at all. I don’t think I’ll ever get a tattoo either. Like other boys my age, I know how to take care of my hair, but that's about it for now.

As a central defender, which one do you think is more difficult to guard Mbappe or Bellingham?

Mbappé is very mobile, good at using space, and very fast; Bellingham makes you unpredictable because he has a strong ability to penetrate from behind. But I think it’s harder to guard Mbappe because he’s fast and has great shooting ability.

For a young man who has been playing for Barcelona and the national team at the age of 18, who will keep him grounded?

My family, my parents and sister. I'm an ordinary young man, although outside people ask you to take pictures.

Do you know Pique? He will give you good advice because he is very clear-minded, I dare say...

We said hello but did not talk to him in depth. Pique does have a lot of experience.

Do you know that even though you are only 18 years old, you are not far away from becoming the captain of Barcelona? I say this because there are currently no Catalans among the five captains, and as far as I know, Laporta has already chosen you to take on this role.

Well, there are more non-Catalan veterans in the team now. But as captains, they did a really good job. I'm not thinking about that now, I'm thinking about playing football and winning championships for the team. I haven't spoken to Laporta about this, but if I were given the captaincy one day, I would wear the armband with pride.
