Reguilón: “Hard work and determination will see you reach your goals"

Sergio Reguilón was the key focus on the programme ‘Campo de estrellas’, on Realmadrid TV. The player has finshed his first season at the club, and said: “My first contact with Real Madrid was at the age of four, at the Real Madrid Foundation. I took some tests and got ready to join up. When you join Real Madrid you see how many other kids want to be in your position. They opened the Valdebebas facilities and it was great, I didn’t realise just where I was. I have realised my dream: play in the Real Madrid first team. To those who are coming up from the youth team I would say that hard work and determination will see you reach your goals."
 
"In the beginning it was far from easy, I finished school at 5 in the evening, had a snack and came home at 10 o'clock at night. I would eat breakfast and dinner in the car. I came and had to do homework and it was a challenging year. In the end the school schedule changed and I go used to it. My father sacrificed everything to get me to Valdebebas”.

Under-19s
"I have always been a slow developer, around two years slower than average. That changed me a lot and I tried to make up for it with desire, effort and hard work. In the Under-19s I got more game time, I had a good season and joined Real Madrid, signing for three years".
 
Pre-season in the United States
"My agent told me that Lopetegui needed me for the preseason. I decided to prepare myself as if it were the World Cup. I was training for a good a month beforehand on my own to go in as best I could. And it went well. Training each day with that team that, a team that won three Champions League titles in a row is no joke. They are a history making team, the biggest in the world.
