00:00You have given the impression that you are not projecting yourself beyond the World Cup 2026 in the national team.

00:05Was it on purpose? Why? And is it new for you not to project yourself like that?

00:11Yes, it's on purpose. Because as I said, all my thoughts go for the World Cup 2026.

00:17It's a World Cup that is very important for the team, for the group, for me.

00:21And I think that a competition of this importance, you have to devote all your energy, all your attention, and not pay attention elsewhere.

00:28So that's really the goal of this whole group, the goal that I have as captain.

00:32And that the players have, is to prepare this competition well to try and have the dream of being world champion.
