Carreras: I dreamed of leaving Benfica after Real Madrid v Valencia | OneFootball

Alvaro Carreras admitted that he “dreamed” of joining Real Madrid, after scoring for Los Blancos in the match against Valencia, for La Liga. The Spanish full-back, formerly of Benfica, started the match and scored, in a game that ended in a resounding victory. The player had already been in the spotlight recently.

At the end of Real Madrid vs Valencia, Carreras was asked about Benfica’s approach, with a €50 million offer: “That’s not up to me. I dreamed of coming here. Those are matters between clubs, I don’t get involved in that. They reached an agreement and that’s it.”

“I’m a defender, I don’t think about celebrations. I didn’t know how to celebrate, so I kissed the badge. It’s something out of a dream. It’s something I’ve dreamed of since I arrived here, but I wasn’t in a hurry. I shot with my soul, not with my leg. The ball went in, so I’m super happy. Thank God it went in,” he also explained, about his reaction to the goal in Real Madrid vs Valencia.

Carreras was then compared to one of the great names in Real Madrid’s history: “I always say these things aren’t planned and have to come from within. Thank God I was able to score my first goal in this shirt and I’m very happy. Roberto Carlos? No [laughs], those are bigger words. It’s an honor, these things ended up happening, I wasn’t in any rush, I work for others, but whenever I can help the team... I try. I’ve always dreamed of playing here, it’s crazy to play in front of all our fans, so many, it’s crazy.”

“Since I arrived, I’ve always said I would support the team in the best way possible. Sometimes, I have to play more defensively. Today, I was able to push forward a bit more. I’m very happy to be here and I hope there are many more games. There’s always room for improvement, but I see the team at a very high level. We’ve shown that in several games, against Barça, which was a great game for everyone, and today as well. Let’s hope for more,” Carreras also explained, regarding his commitment to the team.
