Despite being in quarantine, isolated in their homes, the Real Oviedo players are trying to pass the time in the best way possible, with established work routines, leisure moments, and several tasks to do.
As one of the different activities planned by the club to make the quarantine period more pleasant, we are taking a peek inside the players' homes, to find out how they are getting on with the situation.
Today, Marco Sangalli speaks to us from his home, from which he answered the following questions:
- How are you?
- At home, just like everybody else, living with uncertainty. I am trying to deal with the hours as well as possible.
- I don't know if you've ever had to be away from team training for more than two weeks. What impact can solitary work have on you, particularly in this situation, where you can't make use of the training facilities of a professional club?
- I have had to stay at home on the odd occasion, due to injury or illness, but then it was in the knowledge that everybody was working well behind you. The situation is different now, but the club has made material available to us. It's different. We are grateful.
- How much do you think the situation you are in can affect professional footballers mentally?
- It's not just us. We are sportsman and can keep doing things, whilst knowing that once this is over we will still be footballers. There are people who are more worried right now. They could lose their jobs, and I think there's huge uncertainty. We are just trying to look after ourselves, stay well, and thinking that we will get back to playing.
- How are you spending these days at home? How are you entertaining yourself?
- I'm lucky to have a good friend from San Sebastián here with me, living in my house. We are trying to spend the hours doing sport and watching films while we are here all day. We hope that it gets sorted as soon as possible and everything goes back to normal.
- What do you think will happen with LaLiga? Does it worry you?
- It worries us; it's complete uncertainty. When senior officials say that they don't know when it will end then it worries you. We think about what could happen, but try to take it as well as possible.
- A message to the Oviedistas.
- To the Oviedistas, and to the people of Oviedo, I'd like to tell them to respect the regulations set out. They should try to be with their families and try to live as well as possible...Volveremos. (We'll be back).
Another player will answer questions for #RealOviedoTV from his home tomorrow
