The Fernández brothers, Álex and Nacho, shared a few minutes with their followers through an Instagram live. Both footballers, from Cádiz and Real Madrid respectively, offered their opinions about the future of the competition and recalled moments of their sports career. Álex also tried to convince his brother to sign with the Cadista club.
The first issue they discussed was the possible resumption of the competition, both consider that the League will return. Nacho affirmed that it is important for football to return because it serves as entertainment for many people. "I think so because of everything they are talking about. Soccer is important in this country, people also need to think about something else and it is a way of entertaining. There are many people who are working and in the end soccer is our job. It's going to be played unless something strange happens and the film changes a lot these days ”.

For his part, Álex highlighted the number of professionals who make a living from soccer and who go beyond soccer players. “Soccer gives many jobs, because people see the players on the field, which in the end is a job, and if our boss tells us that we have to play, you cannot refuse. But they are also the people who carry the television, those who prepare the clothes, the physical therapists… there are many people behind who need this job ”.
The Cádiz player also added that his team is looking forward to competing again. "We want to return, being selfish, if it is possible and health gives the OK to play it is because there is control of the situation. We would like to continue because if the League is not finished on the field we do not know what can happen. Thebes says that there are ascents and descents, but they do not guarantee it, so we do not want to play it. Look Holland, the league has been suspended and has remained as it was. "
The most desired topic by all the Cadista fans was for Nacho to talk about his possible arrival in Cádiz in the future, since Álex stated that he would try to convince him. The madridista does not close the door of the yellow club “in football you never know. I have two years of contract and I am in the club of my life. I would like to finish my career here because it is the club of my life. Every summer news comes out that I'm leaving and I don't know what's going to happen. Every summer I talk to my coach, respecting the decision of the club and the coach and we always come to fruition. I don't know what will happen . I don't know if I will play in Cádiz. The people there understand me perfectly. ”
Nacho added that he is looking forward to the promotion and going to celebrate it with his brother. “It seems to me a very good club, I have very good memories because my wife is from Cádiz and my brother is leaving there. I have memories of having played a great game at Carranza the year of Castilla's promotion. Cádiz has a great fans and I don't know what will happen in football. I would like to play with you before the withdrawal. We will see in the future. The important thing is that Cádiz rises and it has to be this year yes or yes and we will go down to Cádiz to celebrate it ”.

In addition, the Madridista footballer acknowledges being a follower of Cádiz and suffering with matches. " I'm not nervous about dying, but I'm with the adrenaline rush to see if Cádiz plays and marks my brother. I celebrate the goals as if they were from Madrid ”.
And he even dared to highlight two cadista soccer players, without counting his brother. "Salvi flies, he looks like a bullet to me, and I like Marcos Mauro too, I see him very correct and whenever he plays he does it very well".
As for Álex's season, the Spaniard is very happy, “I have eleven goals, and if it resumes I hope to score a couple more. It is not normal that he scores so many goals, but I am playing attacking midfielder and that position is used in Cádiz. I have been able to read how we play well, and although it is true that I have scored six penalties, I have also scored five on the spot. They have added many points, which is the important thing to be up there. I don't get very nervous when I shoot the penalty, people are more nervous outside than me inside, but you have the responsibility ”.
Álex and Nacho highly value having been able to play together at Real Madrid. The cadista affirmed, “For me it has been everything, but now I give it more value than when we did it. There you see it normal because you are always with him, it is everyday, but now after several years I think, oysters, we have played in the First Division together, at Real Madrid. One of my illusions is to play with you again, but at a high level, that you scold me as you did ... ".
Nacho valued his father's role in the success of their soccer career. "If it weren't for Dad we wouldn't have come to anything, the talk Dad gave me in the car, well, they have served me a lot and I miss them even when I leave a training session. Is the best. When the games are over, now my father's criticism hurts me more than the press's. I'd rather he be happy than the press. ” Álex confirmed his brother's opinion, and acknowledged that sometimes his father is too hard and always demands more of them.
Recalling the stage in which they played together, Álex recalled an anecdote. “Once we hit each other in training, he gave me two shoves. We were in different teams, I remember that someone shot and the goalkeeper stopped it. The ball remained dead with the goal empty and I am highly motivated to push it. I didn't have time to get to the ball, they hit me a stick from behind and I say, 'who could it have been?' When I got up I saw my brother. I said, 'What are you doing?' I thought he was going to ask me for forgiveness, but he gave me another push. He was after me . " Nacho added with a laugh, “We were losing, I hit you a stick from behind, on top of that you got up and got really cool. I'm the oldest and I couldn't let you eat me. I gave you one like the ones I used to give you at home when we were little. ”
Finally, Álex acknowledged that, if he scored a goal against Real Madrid with the Cádiz shirt, he would celebrate the goal. "I have a lot of love and respect for Madrid, he has given me a lot and my brother too, but I have a love and affection for Cádiz that perhaps it was more disrespectful not to celebrate it for Cádiz, than to celebrate it for Madrid. I would not throw myself or celebrate with the stands like crazy, but I would celebrate it as normal ”.
