Chema: I feel more like Rodri than Busquets, but their level is much higher

This summer, Real Madrid midfielder Cheema transferred to Stuttgart, but the La Liga giants retained the right to buy back. Today, the 20-year-old Cheema is the absolute main force of Spain U21. In an interview with AS, Cheema discussed many topics about his career and Real Madrid.

About the opportunities available to young players today

In Germany and England, more and more young players are emerging from youth training camps. In Spain, clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid find it more difficult to give young people opportunities. But this also shows that Spain’s youth training system is very successful. There are many Spanish players in European youth training camps.

About Spain U21

Over 50% of players play overseas, it depends on how you look at it. To me, this means that Spain is a great exporter of players. The other 50% of players play in Spain, which is also worthy of recognition.

About the dream of returning to Real Madrid

Wearing the Real Madrid jersey is every player’s dream, but now I am focused on work every day. I am currently very happy with the U21 national team and Stuttgart. The treatment here is very good.

About my own characteristics

I don’t think I am like Rodri or Busquets. If I have to say, I feel more like Rodri because he also has the team at heart. But to be honest, their level is much higher than mine.

About La Liga

I think La Liga is very balanced. The recent national derby has been very fierce, which has not been seen in many years. Despite poor performances in the last two games, Real Madrid is still a strong contender for the Champions League and La Liga titles.

About playing against Bayern

Bayern is the best team in Europe. They have players like Kimmich, Kane and Luis Dias who make the difficult task easy. It will be very difficult to beat them, but we hope to play them again in the Super Bowl.

About the very important coaches I met in my career

Raul and Arbeloa are the two most important coaches in my career. Last year under Raúl, I got a lot of playing time at Castilla and my personal performance was also very good. When I was in Real Madrid's B team, Arbeloa put me in the A team.
