September 3 News Recently, Heisen, who is preparing for the World Cup with the Spanish national team, accepted an interview with "Marca". He talked about his personal life, joining Real Madrid and the World Cup.

Everything happened so fast, have you adapted to what you've been through in the past few months

"Yes, it seems that everything happened very quickly, but every player is moving forward step by step. It's undoubtedly a huge leap, and for any football player, joining Real Madrid, I feel good."

What's your favorite in the first few months of the club? Answer: locker room, teammates... Everyone welcomed me very much. Also, the facilities, the trips... everything is so spectacular and I am very happy. ”

Have you imagined the scale of Real Madrid and everything it brings?” You can imagine, but it is different to experience it in person. You will truly realize the importance of this club at any time and I am very grateful for the support of the fans. ”

What makes you curious most since you came to the team? "Now everyone can recognize me, and sometimes I try to wear a hat or sunglasses to keep a little low-key, but it doesn't always work. ”

Can you still go to the movies now

"If there are fewer people, it's OK, but it's generally difficult. ”

Marbella is your hometown, your safe haven, what does it mean to you?”I love Marbella very much. I always say that I want to live there after retirement, even though Madrid is my home now. ”

Reflecting on the past, I played in Marbella's days "I played there for about three or four years because we didn't have a sports city. Those were some of the best years in my life and I was very happy there. ”

Your father has always cared about your growth, what are the journeys from Marbella to Malaga training?

" On the way to go, we usually listen to music or talk about other things, on the way back we will discuss training or competition, we always talk about football. ”

Q: Will he correct you after the game?

A: Now he takes a step back. He said that at this level, it is best for the coach to correct me. It was different when I was a child.

When I was a child, you wanted to striker, but soon changed to defender, which was decided by your former coach. "Yes, my father wanted me to play forward, but when I was 9 years old, I changed to play center back and joined Malaga the next year. I feel like I'm doing a good job and I just want to have fun playing football. "

Do you still enjoy playing football in the top league? "Of course, if I don't enjoy it, I can't do what I do now. Although the level requirements are high, if you relax, you can enjoy it. ”

At Real Madrid, you train with players like Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrigo. In an interview with Marca, Vallejo said that this kind of training may be more stringent than the game. "This is the best for me because it allows me to improve every day, and sometimes the intensity of training even exceeds the game." "

Do you think training is harder than competition?

" These are two things. "

You were booed when you played for the Spanish national team for the first time in Rotterdam. How did you deal with this situation? Did you expect such a big reaction? "I kind of expected it, it didn't have much impact on me. Actually, I think it's a positive signal: If people get angry and boo you, it means they care. "

Your family is all in the Netherlands. How do you deal with the pressure of the family? "The family is all Dutch, but I have been living in Spain. My habits are Spanish. I also feel that I am Spanish. They understand this. "

What about your Dutch friend

" is the same, like a child born in another place, who chose to play for that team because he grew up there. ”

In several interviews, you mentioned that you like Mercadona's melon seeds

"[Smile] Yes, I like it very much. I often eat while watching TV shows or swimming, which is a habit I have developed since I was a child. "

Didn't the nutritionist prohibit you from eating?" They didn't say anything. "

Can you imagine winning the World Cup?

" You have to advance first, but of course, participating in the World Cup is very special for any player. "In January, are you and your parents sure you will join a big club like Real Madrid and enter the Spanish national team" It is a goal, although you never know if it will be achieved. Finally I achieved it and I was very satisfied. "

What do you think is the difference between Bournemouth and Real Madrid's locker rooms? "In the end, we are all ordinary people, very good people, and the atmosphere in the locker room is very good. ”

Who do you have the best relationship with in the team

"I often listen to Rudiger and Carvajal, but we are a very united team and often move together. ”

Some people say you seem shy during the interview, but you are very humorous during the training camp

"Yes, I am relatively quiet during the interview, but there are many jokes in the locker room, and occasionally I will make jokes. ”

In the national team, your generation of young players have great potential, what does this mean to you? "It is special to practice with confidence in us, and it is not an easy task, which shows that the coach is not afraid of betting on young people. This means the coach trusts us and he is not afraid to do so, which is not easy. ”

In the national team, you are Yamal's teammate, but you are an opponent in the league

"Yamar is an excellent player, I hope he performs well in the national team, but don't be too good when playing against us in the league. ”

You said you admire Ramos since you were a child, although some people say you are more like Pique

"Yes, it was since you were a child. I think his passing ability is underestimated, and everyone talks about his aggressiveness or goals, but he is also a good passer. To me, he has always been a role model.

Will we see you pay a penalty like him one day? "It's hard because there are many good penalty shooters on the team. I don't think they'll let me get a penalty because there are good penalty shooters."

Some people don't know if you have left or right foot

"When I'm pressed, I can break right or left, so it's easier to get rid of the opponent."

Can you partner with Kubasi or need a stronger central defender

"Why not? He's a good central defender. I'm very comfortable with him, just like with Lenorman or Vivian."

We asked your father to ask a question, and the question is: what exercises you didn't like to do when you were a kid, but now it feels very valuable

" [laughs] Diagonal pass, when he was 9 years old, he asked me to pass it repeatedly on an 11-a-side court to the other side. I could only pass 15 meters at most. He was persistent, but now I am grateful because it helped me a lot. I don't hate doing this, I just feel annoyed. "

Your father used two cameras to record all your training, how do you think about it? "I don't mind, I have no objection to criticism. As long as it can help me improve even 1%, I'm happy to accept it. Football pays attention to details and must be prepared."

Do you watch a lot of football games in your free time? "It depends on the situation that day, sometimes I watch two or three games, and sometimes I don't want to see anything."

What will you do when you lose? "I don't like losing, just like any player."
