On another day of lockdown, today was Edu Cortina's turn to answer the questions put to him by the Press:
In a case like yours, where this situation has come while you are recovering from injury, how does it impact on the recovery process?
- This situation obviously makes it impossible to continue with the treatment using the machines and physios at El Requexón, but, fortunately, I can continue with the exercises, thanks to Berto and Michi. I am in contact with them, and they send me work.
You have been very unfortunate on an injury front when you've been given the opportunity to play. How do you take it, and what do you learn from those times injured?
- Injuries aren't making things easy for me, but you have to face them in the best way, with energy and positivity. Everything can be an uphill struggle if you don't do it like that. I am learning that you have to surround yourself with positive people, who add something, and I value moments of health, both in sport and in life.
In your case, is it making the wait for football to return even harder?
- In my case, and in anybody's case, the wait to return to normal life is hard. Sport is always in the background, but it occupies a large part of our lives.
What are you doing to make the most of your time during this period?
- I have breakfast, train, and then in the afternoon either study or connect to my friends online. I live with my mother and my brother, and I share a lot of time and hobbies with them. I am quite entertained.
A message for the Oviedistas
- I want to send my best wishes to them and say that we have to continue to stay at home. We are going to defeat the virus. In addition, I would like to send strength to everyone who has a family member or friend that is ill. I hope they get well soon.
