Fabián, with the national shirt.

Fabián: “It’s a huge pride to play for the U21”

After hearing that he has been called up to Spain U21, Fabián has spoken for Real Betis official channels.

Spain U21: “Obviously, being called up to the national team is a joy. Specially, when it’s the first time. I’m very proud to go to the U21. I have to keep working to have more chances.”

More work to be called up again: “Yes, it can’t be just once. I have to keep working to go again and play with my team. This is a reward to make me stronger and keep working even harder.”

Who gave you the news?: “The first one was Barragán. He told me: ‘Fabi, congratulations, you’re going with the U21.’ I was a bit surprised and even I bit emotional.”

What did Quique Setién tell you?: “He made a joke about that I should thank him. I told him that I’ll pay him a meal when I come back.”
