Live Broadcast, July 12th: At 3:00 am on July 15th, Beijing time, Spain will face England in the European Cup final. Before the game, Spanish midfielder Olmo talked about the team's current situation, England, Bellingham and other topics in an interview.
You once pointed out that the team is a unit, so does this team have stars? Could you be a star?
Olmo: "I think we do have star players, and Morata talked about this in the first interview. We have players with outstanding individual abilities like Nico Williams and Yamal. They can destroy you one on one and we also have players like Rodri, Carvajal and Nacho who win everything. "
"We have individuality but serve the whole team. I think we are there. It shows in these games: the philosophy of the game, the unity shown in attack and defence, and you can see it in the results."
What do you think of England?
Olmo: "My opinion is the same as yours, they scored at the end of the game, just like Bellingham did before. What that tells us is that we have to keep it going for 90 minutes, 120 minutes or whatever. 100% focus, the game between Spain and England is the European Cup final in every sense. "
In the European Cup, the team does not always encounter all the strong teams, but in this competition, Spain played against Croatia, Italy, Germany, France, then England
Olmo: "Yes, all the strong teams. We have always said that to win the championship, you need to face the best teams. In this competition we Having already faced these strong teams, next is England. ”
Do you have much analysis on your opponents? How much of an impact does coaching have?

The football level of many players in the national team is actually underestimated by the media. This may be the case for you. If your goal is scored by a player like Kroos or Bellingham, then Do you feel like you're going to be on the front page all over the world?
Olmo: "Well, that may be the case, for example, you can see the performance of Fabian Ruiz in this tournament. But I think the value in our hearts is the most important, and those voices depend on you Or someone who has an opinion. We think about winning and the recognition that will come with the trophies, the joy of the family and the fans."
Is Bellingham scary?
Olmo: "I'm not afraid, Bellingham, like Morata in our national team, is a role model. He can change the game with his feet, he is a player worth paying attention to, But England also has Foden, Saka, Kane and others. Bellingham is always at the core, but we are not afraid of anyone.”
