We have nothing to say there. We accept any decision, stresses Spain's captain
Jordi Alba, the captain of the Spanish national team, said they were vaccinated against the coronavirus "because they have seen the wolf's ears" after Sergio Busquets and Diego Llorente tested positive for Covid-19.
In addition, he claimed the players' opinion "does not count" in this regard.

"We have not talked to each other about the issue of vaccines. In the end, our opinion does not count. We don't command. If they tell us to get vaccinated, we get vaccinated. I understand that everyone has their opinion, but I do not understand that for some media, it seems that the fault lies with the players ", Jordi Alba said in statements to Spanish radio Cadena SER.
"We have nothing to say there. We accept any decision. We must respect all kinds of opinions. However, if it wasn't done before, I don't understand such a rush now. We have to accept everything they tell us ", stressed the defender of FC Barcelona.

"Yes, because it is more fun to work together, you work better with the entire squad, although we already know the idea of the coach, physically we are very well and nothing will change until the debut of the EURO. But I don't like training alone, "added Alba.
"I hope it doesn't go any further and that it will stay there. We are all awaiting the news, it is not a pleasant situation for anyone, but I believe that the players and all the 'staff' comply with all those rules that the doctors tell us. Our work has been excellent; we take precautions and now to continue and focus on what is coming, "he said.
"Busquets? He's fine, really looking forward to trying to recover, and hopefully, he'll come back with us. I am delighted to be the captain (instead). I always try to help all my teammates, captain or not. Koke, Thiago, De Gea - we are veterans, and we try to help the youngsters. I think we can contribute a lot, "he stressed.
