Team Feature Spain Simón Hard Working Spain Gaining Momentum

I don't believe I have an innate winning spirit. What I've always believed, what has always been passed on to me, and what I try to pass on to everyone else is that you should always give it your all. If you give it your all, you'll be closer to winning, and that's a fact. We're certainly on a roll, not just because of the World Cup, but because of the momentum we've been building within the squad and with Luis beforehand. The determination of the ten players in front of me, to want the ball, makes you feel that you have to be just like them too. They're going to need you to want the ball at some point, and to dominate the game. Everyone's fully committed, and we all want the same thing, and to play in the same way. When all those cogs are working together, I think all of us out on the pitch, even those who get the chance to come on later, really enjoy it. We're at this World Cup, we've gone many games without losing. The truth is that it will happen at some point. This run of form will have to come to an end one day, I'm sure of it. But when that day comes, that'll be because our opponents are better than us. If anyone has to beat you, that'll be because they've done better than you, not because you've given them a reason to do so. So with that mindset, with that routine, with that way of thinking, that's how you achieve success and accomplishments. You might not realise it now, but when your career ends, many years from now, I hope the journey will have been driven by that. The fact that you have to fight for it every day, give it your all, and that's how you come away feeling proud. Whatever the result, if we give it our all, I think that's how we'll leave the world of football with our heads held high.
