Talk about your idol Messi
When asked about his favorite childhood footballer, Molina didn’t hesitate to name Leo Messi.
“Leo Messi!” he told GOAL, his eyes lit up immediately, “because actually when I was young I didn’t play right-back as I do now.”
“I played more forward positions, including wide positions, so I really like Messi, his personal ability is really good! Of course it’s not because I’m similar to him or anything,
Just because he’s such a great player, he’s had a great career and achieved so much. He’s really on a level that’s completely different from the rest of the world!”
“It’s really a dream come true to play with Messi,” he said, “because I’ve been watching him on TV since I was a little kid and I just felt like he was real.
Incredible! He inspired me a lot and helped me a lot, he is really a role model for young players.”
“Sometimes watching Messi play is like playing a video game. I often see him easily pass several defenders in the game and score goals. This is really wonderful!”
Talk about some of your favorite full-back players
“I’ve studied a lot of players in my position on the pitch, but to be honest, probably the players I’ve looked at more are Liverpool’s Alexander-Arnold and Chelsea’s Reece James,” he reveals.
“However, in Serie A, I also enjoy watching AC Milan’s Theo Hernandez and Inter Milan’s Ivan Perisic.”
“In Serie A there are really good attacking full-backs, but I really like the style of play of these four players. I often watch the highlights of their games carefully to see if I can learn from them.
Valuable content, and then use it in my own game to further improve my ability.”
“I’m always thinking about what else I can do to push myself forward, whether it’s offensively or defensively.
Talk about Atletico Madrid coach Simeone
Molina publicly admitted that he admired Simeone, “If you look at the relationship between him and the team, the relationship between him and the players, you will find that it is really special.” Molina said.
“He has brought great changes to Atletico Madrid. He has allowed Atletico Madrid to establish an incredible team spirit, a spirit of never admitting defeat, which is really worth learning from me.”
Talking about transfer rumors with Arsenal and Juventus
“Obviously it’s always been a dream of mine to play for one of the biggest clubs in Europe like Arsenal or Juventus, and playing in the Champions League has been my dream since I was very young and I hope to achieve that one day.
dream,” he admitted.
“But for now, I’m still playing for Udinese and we have the last game of the season and it’s going to be a really tough game (Sunday against relegation-risk Sa
Lenitana), the opponent will definitely create a lot of difficulties for us. So about my transfer issue, that is the club’s business, I will only focus on preparing for this game now, and the rest will wait until the end of the season.
to consider.”
“I’m really at peace. I’m very happy with myself and the team this season. We’ve achieved our goal of avoiding relegation and I’ve made some progress personally, which is obviously something to celebrate.”
Talk about the old club Boca Juniors
After graduating from the Boca Youth Club’s youth training academy, Molina has always wanted to stay in Boca to play, but unfortunately the two parties did not reach any new contract extension in the end.
“We don’t have more opportunities to negotiate an extension, that’s it,” he said matter-of-factly.
“Personally, I just want to sign a contract extension with Boca Juniors, I really want to stay and play here.”
“I was already in the club’s first team. It’s just that I didn’t play too many games, I only played a few games for the team, and then I was loaned out twice (first to
Defense and Justice, then loaned to Rosario Central).
“But obviously I just wanted to stay at Boca. It was a pity we couldn’t reach an agreement in the end, so then I came to Udinese, which was obviously a pleasure for me as well.”
Talk about Udinese
“It’s obviously not a coincidence or a coincidence, they’ve been doing this for a number of years, they’ve always given their all to help the players improve, and the way they treat the players is really impressive,” he enthused.
“Usually the relationship between the club and the players behind the scenes is very good, especially the new players from outside Italy. As soon as you arrive here, they make you feel very comfortable, even a sense of home.
