Carreras's first words as a Real Madrid player: 'It's not easy'

His first speech shows what he felt during his presentation

After his signing with Real Madrid became official, Álvaro Carreras faced a tough challenge. The presentation with Real Madrid is an exciting day for all footballers. However, the Galician full-back has shown with his first words that it was going to be difficult for him.

It was when he had to deliver his first speech as a Real Madrid player again. When he started to speak, he was emotional, his voice was breaking due to the emotion. He even struggled to give his speech and he had already warned that "it's not easy" to say those words.

It's clear that Carreras is experiencing a very exciting day for him this Tuesday with his presentation. At several moments, even during the press conference, he has confessed that he is living a dream. He has indicated that he is at the best club and where he had always wanted to be.

That's why, although he had already been in the youth academy when he was younger, this is different. He has said that he left as a boy and returns as a man, making clear his growth during this time. Without a doubt, this is something that will please Madridists but also shows the excitement he feels.

Two Madridists as his role models

Álvaro Carreras arrives at a club where there are two left-backs who have been legends in recent years. This is the case of Roberto Carlos and Marcelo, whom he will now want to emulate by doing what they did. He has confessed that they have been his role models for many years.

In fact, he was able to see Marcelo in person because they coincided at the club when he was in the youth academy. In addition, he was able to speak with Roberto Carlos for a while before his presentation. This makes this day even more special for him.

"It's the most beautiful day of my life," he ended up saying during the press conference in front of the media. There is no better summary to understand what he experienced during this day of his presentation with Real Madrid. He is fulfilling the dream he had as a child, when he played in the Merengue youth academy.
