During a pivotal juncture that Kepa Arrizabalaga regards as one of the most enchanting phases of his athletic journey, he, the fresh addition to Real Madrid’s ranks, has fearlessly proclaimed his preparedness for the imminent trials that lie ahead. Following his introduction as the new recruit for Real Madrid, Kepa engaged with the media during the press conference at Real Madrid City.
“In this moment, it’s an occasion of immense joy and significance not only for me but for my entire family, my friends, and my loved ones. Joining Real Madrid fills me with exhilaration and pride. Today is a day I want to cherish and share with those closest to my heart,” conveyed the goalkeeper.
Kepa proceeded, “To be a part of Real Madrid with its rich heritage and storied history is a source of immense pride for me. I have consistently followed LaLiga, and in my formative years, I witnessed Casillas guarding the goal for Madrid. He’s an idol of mine, and whenever I watched Madrid, it was him. This is a club steeped in history, and I take great pride in my association with it.”
“Anticipating the challenge, I assure you that commitment and hard work will never be in short supply from me. These have been days of intense preparation, but when the opportunity arose to join Real Madrid, I had no doubt about my decision.”
Kepa underscored, “Football’s future is uncertain, and the landscape can shift unexpectedly. The world of football is in constant flux. Regardless of the circumstances, I will remain steadfast, maintaining my vigilance and dedication at all times. I am now fully primed to invest a hundred percent of myself in Real Madrid.”
Kepa extended his well-wishes to Thibaut Courtois, who is presently grappling with the challenges of an injury, stating, “I have spoken with Courtois, and he’s confronting one of football’s toughest situations: an injury setback. I send him my best wishes for resilience, bravery, and a swift recovery. Hopefully, he will make a speedy return to the field.”
“Years of experience in football fortify your character. I have encountered a range of situations, and I consistently strive to focus on the positives, even when circumstances are less than ideal. I have gathered the triumphs of the past years, and I am eagerly poised to exhibit them.”
Kepa expressed with pride, “Real Madrid reigns as Europe’s supreme force. This statement doesn’t burden me; I steadfastly hold that belief. Even when I was not part of Real Madrid, I held them in the highest esteem, and that sentiment persists. During my tenure at Chelsea, we faced off against them in the Champions League for three consecutive seasons, and my experience reinforced their excellence. There is a unanimous consensus on this.”
Addressing his compatriots within the national team, Kepa noted, “Throughout the years, I’ve had national team teammates who also donned the Real Madrid jersey. While not recently, over the past few years, I’ve engaged in discussions and conversations, and the feedback remains consistent. The impression you glean from the outside world is truly remarkable, and when you interact with those who have been part of this institution for an extended period, that perception is only heightened.”
