Olmo said: “It’s a decisive match, and our motivation is at its highest. It’s the Champions League semi-finals, and we are playing to reach the final for the first time in ten years. We are ready and excited for this historic moment.”
He continued: “I am very happy. I came here for one goal, which is to win titles, and we have already won two out of four possible titles. We have gone through difficult moments, but I am fine now, and all my focus is on the present and helping the team.”
He added: “We fully realize that we are going through an important week. Tomorrow we play to qualify for the Champions League final, and after that, we face Real Madrid in the Clasico. We know the challenge is tough, but we want to win both matches.”
He confirmed: “The first leg was balanced, and we could have defended better at times. Our goal in the second leg is to win, keep a clean sheet, and deliver a strong performance that guarantees our qualification.”
He pointed out: “Playing in a stadium like Giuseppe Meazza may give Inter an advantage, but we have played in tough stadiums like Metropolitano, Bernabeu, and Signal Iduna Park and achieved good results. These stadiums motivate us even more.”
He continued: “Victories are achieved through collective depth and solidarity among players. The more we play as a unit, the closer we are to winning, and that is our key now.”
Regarding ambitions to win all titles, he said: “Yes, I imagined myself in this position as we compete for all titles. This is my first season with Hans Flick, but we are all united behind his idea, and we don’t need to change anything. We are on the right track.”
On the team’s physical condition, he added: “We are in very good physical shape. We place great importance on recovery and rest, and I see the team completely ready for this decisive confrontation.”
Regarding Lamine Yamal and his brilliance, he said: “What Lamine is doing does not surprise me. We know who he is and recognize his importance to us. I have seen him shine in many matches, whether in La Liga or the Euros. He is calm and mature despite his young age.”
On the participation of young players, he said: “We experience this atmosphere as if it were a party. The presence of young players alleviates the tension, but we older ones guide and help them. We have a healthy group with one goal: to win.”
He added: “I may not have scored a goal yet, but having this number of La Masia graduates in the team says a lot about the quality of this academy. We have known each other for a long time, and that helps us on the field.”
Regarding coach Hans Flick, he said: “He is a coach very close to us, he knows exactly what he wants, and his style is based on attacking play. We have complete trust in him and his coaching staff.”
