00:00I don't think he should have played. As I said before, football should have gone to the background.

00:09I think it was the time to be with the affected and think only about that.

00:16It's complicated because I think that in these moments football should go to the background.

00:23I think that the most important thing is the people. When these tragedies happen, it's difficult to isolate.

00:33I think that what the coach has said is absolutely right.

00:37I think that in the end we are in a moment in which our opinion, our strength is zero.

00:47What we have to do is to be professional and do what we are told to do, even if we don't want to do it.

00:55That's what we have to do.

00:59I think that a lot of things are missing.

01:03I think that there is a lot of distance between footballers and the organisation.

01:10Communication is complicated.

01:13I think that football is an industry in which footballers, as you say, are the main actors.

01:23But we don't have that power of decision.

01:27In the end, we have to do things that even if we don't want to do, we have to do.

01:33I would like to send a message of encouragement to all the families affected by the damage in Valencia.

01:41These are difficult times.

01:43I would like to tell them that they are not alone, that we will try to support and help in everything we can.

01:50I would also like to convey the pride we feel for the solidarity seen by the people in these difficult times.

02:01We are all waiting for everything to return to normal and for us to get out of this as soon as possible.

02:11We are very saddened by what has happened.

02:13These have been difficult days, days of turmoil, days in which our people have suffered.

02:23I think it is time for us all to reflect and think about what has happened.

02:31In the end, we will try to help each other to get out of this.

02:37We are very saddened by what has happened and how things have developed.

02:43In the end, it is time to encourage those affected to try to help them and focus on that.

02:51Then we will reflect on everything that has happened.

02:56I am saddened by what has happened.

03:00I think people have suffered a lot.

03:03I think the human quality of the people in Spain has been demonstrated again.

03:10I think the solidarity since the first minute has been incredible.

03:15I think it is beautiful to see people from all over Spain helping each other.

03:23I hope we can learn from these circumstances.
