Real Madrid defender Nacho: We've all come back with great desire | OneFootball

Real Madrid defender Nacho Fernandez says the players are happy to be back for preseason.

He said, “You have to come back with desire and a lot of strength because these are tough days. There's a lot of fitness and tactical work, which is what you need to work on in pre-season. What you put in now will help you go all the way to the end.

“These days are really important to make sure your legs and your head are prepared, because the seasons are really demanding and you have to be at your best.

“We achieved incredible things last season and we completed our objectives. We try to disconnect and recharge our batteries for what could be an even more exciting season than the previous one. We're well up for it.

“There's more and more every season. I've been here my whole life, this is where I was taught. This is my home and I'm really happy, because I keep progressing to the next stage. I'm becoming a veteran, but I'm still as motivated as ever."
