Figo: When I was a player, I wanted to go to Atletico Madrid; Real Madrid s goal is to beat Barcelona

Hupu, August 27th, Portuguese legend Figo was interviewed by the media when attending an event. He recalled his player era and also talked about topics such as transfers, Real Madrid and La Liga.

Talking about the ideas of the player era

If you let me choose, besides Barcelona or Real Madrid, maybe I would want to go to Atletico Madrid. Because their game philosophy, court, atmosphere...although they are always an opponent, it is always exciting to play there. Of course, playing derby in Seville will be very special. I won’t say it’s Betis or Seville, otherwise the fans on the other side will kill me (laugh), but playing football must be very wonderful in that atmosphere.

Talk about Real Madrid and their new season goals. After experiencing the situation like last season, the club will always try to strengthen, make the team more stable, and improve the lineup where needed. Also, we need to see what impact Modric's departure will have, after all, he has been very important in the past few years. Real Madrid's goal is to beat Barcelona and win the league and other games again. I don't think the team lacked hunger last season. Playing at Real Madrid, you have to understand that you are competing to win everything.

Talking about the new players in La Liga this season

I like Arnold and Rashford.

Talking about the La Liga MVP

this season will be those players with the best skills, stable performance throughout the year, and we look forward to showing high-level players, such as Rafinia, Vinicius, Mbappe, and Alvarez.
