Real Oviedo defender Alejandro Arribas today welcomed us into his home and answered the questions put to him by the Press.
How are you, and how is the lockdown going?
- Fine, all fine. The lockdown is going well, I'm with my family and with the dogs. We are spending the time together, doing things which we didn't normally do. We all have to pitch in and get through it.
How do you organise your routines and training sessions?
- My routines are simple, easy. I eat breakfast and then train. The club has facilitated a lot of things for the work they've sent us. We do what we can, in the knowledge that it's not easy, but with imagination and desire you can achieve anything.
Given that football is a contact sport, are you worried about how and when competitive football returns? Keeping in mind the health issues that could go along with it...
- It's a contact sport and there's nothing we can do about it. I'm not scared. When everything returns there will be no risk. We have to stay calm, and health comes first, but everything will be fine once it goes back to normal.
When LaLiga returns, everything is going to be very different. Of all the things being spoken about, which could be the most difficult?
- The most difficult things will be getting back into the routine, the competition, the competitiveness between the players and getting match fit, but I think we are ready. We are working at home and I'm sure we will be well-prepared when the time comes.
- I want to send my best wishes to the whole of Oviedo and the Spanish people. We are going to get rid of this virus together. Everybody has to stay at home.
