Recently, Barcelona women's football captain Putras was interviewed by "Everything". She talked about her cooperation with Hellmann 's, Barcelona women's football team, the Champions League final, the Queens Cup final, the national team and the upcoming European Cup.

Partnership with Hellmann 's

"I'm so happy to be working with this brand because they have made a lot of contributions in supporting women's football. They sponsored the European Cup this summer, and I was so happy when I had the opportunity to work with this brand. It reminded me of my childhood, when I was a kid, there were always big bottles of Hellmann 's mayonnaise at home."

Favorite mayonnaise pairing food

"It can be paired with anything like meat, chicken and potatoes, it's the 'universal sauce' in my house."

About strict diet plan

"Balance is key, it's not something I do every day, but sometimes breaking the rules can help me perform better, especially when enjoying food or doing something different. For example, after the game, I usually eat fast food, and of course there's a burger with Hellmann's mayonnaise."

What's the diet before the game? "It's usually rice or pasta with chicken, and I don't eat mayonnaise before the game. If everything goes well, I'll eat some after the game."

You just participated in the Champions League final, played two European Women's League games for the Spanish national team, and a King's Cup final against Atletico Madrid, frequently converted to the game. Is the game difficult for you? "This is what the schedule calls for us, good or bad, we have to play a game every three days. The Champions League final ended in a very bitter way. Four days later we had another game, and then three days later, and now we have another final."

"This chaotic schedule forces us to not have much time to cushion between good and bad, but it is also the mentality of top athletes who must quickly recover from the trough and play at their best in the next game."

Atletico Madrid has more time to prepare for this final because they are not that Is it a big impact on you? "This is a realistic question, not an excuse. But according to our understanding, we are always able to adapt. We will have two training sessions to prepare for this game, it is a final, and there are many video analysis sessions, which will be of great help to us. We will participate with a humble attitude and a determination to go all out and strive to win the championship again."

How do you evaluate the overall performance of this season? "The team is getting better and better, and it is obvious that we are not doing well in the Champions League final. You can lose any game, but what makes us most sad is that we don't show it. We are very upset when we leave Lisbon. "

" But that aside, I think we have performed very well in the quarterfinals and semi-finals, and people can look back at those games. We are talking about strong teams like Wolfsburg and Chelsea, who are constantly improving every season."

" In the domestic arena, we have also gradually improved, performed well in many games, and maintained a high level of competitive form for a long time. Now we need the last effort to win another championship. Although we can't win all four championships, we long for this Queens Cup and will go all out to win the triple crown."

The Spanish national team reversed and defeated England, facing such a strong opponent, especially as the European Cup is approaching, what does this victory feel like? "It's very good, I think. Not only because of the result, but because we successfully put England in a passive defense, which is what we want to do. They only have one chance, and I feel that the whole game is under our control. Although they may have a chance to score goals, just like yesterday, for us, the most important thing is the control of the game, and I think the team has done a great job. Against England, Belgium, Portugal... I think these games are all very good Very good."

In the last few national team games, nine players in the starting lineup were or were once members of Barcelona. What do you think about this?

"This shows that my club, Barcelona, ​​is working very well, so that it can deliver so many internationals to the Spanish national team and other national teams. Whenever the national team trains, there are very few players staying in the Sports City, which also shows that our team is very competitive and able to play a role in important games. "

We see again the feeling of the team winning the European Women's League championship a year and a half ago

"As an athlete, the mentality is this: there is a game every three days, no matter Whether it is good or bad, you usually don't compare your performance before three games, but always try to improve the previous game. We will work hard to improve the game against England to meet the next game. This is our attitude and how we do in the European Cup. "

After missing the European Cup three years ago due to injury, is this European Cup more special for you? "I am full of expectations for this European Cup, because the experience over the past year, my own feelings and my confidence, and the trust given to me by the coaching team and teammates, have made me very happy. I will do my best to serve the team with the greatest investment and determination to strive to achieve our goals."
