He added: “We push each other to be better and make it difficult for the coach. Whoever plays will do everything, and whoever is out will try to help.”
When asked if external controversies affect goalkeepers, Raya praised his teammate Unai Simon, stressing: “I think that the position of goalkeeper is in good hands, regardless of who is playing.
Challenge and ambition
Asked if he was being overlooked because he played in the English Premier League, Ryan confidently said: “Maybe yes, maybe not. It is normal that the media raises this debate. When I first joined the national team, people wondered who I was. I’m working hard to improve so I can represent my country.”
He sent a clear message to Coach De La Fuente. “The discussion is directed at all of you, I’m trying to make it difficult for the coach on Monday.”
Relations with Garcia
Raya also praised his fellow teammate, Barcelona goalkeeper Juan Garcia, saying: “The relationship is great. He is always smiling and eager to work. He has complementary skills in all fields. It is an honor to work with him.
Resolutely answering the question whether it is possible that he will represent the England team, staying there for a long time, Ryan clearly said:
“We know that we are European champions, but we also know that there are very good teams. What we have to do is focus on each game individually and focus on what we can control. We’ll see how far we can go,” stressing that “a good start in any tournament gives confidence for a strong start, especially against Verde.
