Casador: Frick changed my destiny and I enjoy playing national derby

May 10th Barcelona midfielder Mark Cassado accepted an exclusive interview with the Ass, during which he talked about topics such as the national derby and injuries over the weekend. On March 16, Cassado was injured in the game against Atletico Madrid and was diagnosed with a partial torn collateral ligament on the right knee after the game, and is expected to be injured for two months. Now, Cassado has returned to the team due to injury, and he is eager to return to the field as soon as possible.

How is your body recovering?

"Very good. I have been back in the training ground for a while and my physical reaction is very good. For physical coaches, team doctors and assistant coaches, they feel that my recovery is also very good. I was well taken care of, and now I am only one last step away."

Have you ever encountered such a serious injury in the past?

"I have hardly had any injuries before. I see this as part of the season because I'm in a real career."

Are there any plans for rehabilitation at the moment?

"The only thing I care about all day is my knees."

The feeling of watching teammates in the stands

"It's very uncomfortable. Unlike when I was a kid, I was very happy to watch football in the stands, but now (as a member of Barcelona) I feel bad."

The difference between watching the game from the stands and playing football in the top court in person

"It's obvious that it's completely different. When I'm playing on the field, I don't pay attention to people in the stands. And when you were a kid, the game every weekend was the most important thing."

Treat all opponents the same?

"No, of course not."

Then is Real Madrid the most special?

"Not just Real Madrid. However, the national derby is indeed a very good match."

But for others, against Real Madrid is a torture

"No, those are games that you can enjoy. I played two national derbys, and I enjoyed such games very much, just as I enjoyed the game with Bayern. You will be very focused, you have to show your best side, if not, you will be surpassed by your opponent."

Collect jerseys from childhood

"Every Christmas, I want Barcelona jersey. I have a jersey with Neymar's name printed on it, and a UEFA Champions League final jersey between Barcelona and Manchester United. "

Frick

"He changed my destiny, and he directly promoted me from the echelon to the first team."

Willing to play for the echelon

"We have had discussions inside, they don't let me return to the echelon, but I want to play, and more importantly, for the jersey on my body. If I can't play on behalf of the first team, I want to go back to the echelon. "

The goal is to play in this national derby?

"The primary goal is my knee."
