I met some very close teammates and a very intelligent coaching staff. They help me a lot and that way I enjoy the process.” Magnay comes to the competition “where the game is more physical and intelligent but in the Australian league the players also have more skills. I really want to start playing to fulfill all this. I am very focused on learning the attacking part, because there are many plays and concepts.

The Australian already had the first talks with Moncho Fernández: «We talked about concepts and the most offensive aspect. he explained to me some specific performances and concepts, whose names I have to start learning in order to understand my classmates. The first conversations with the technician helped me a lot. I want to assimilate all this as soon as possible start contributing on the field».

The Australian will make his debut in the pavilion wearing the best clothes to welcome the host. In any case, there are still not many references to the atmosphere experienced every weekend in the caldeira: «We still don’t talk much about those aspects, because some players were missing these days. The Scrubb brothers weren’t there and tomorrow we’ll all be together at training and we’ll be able to talk about these things. We will talk about the atmosphere in the pavilion and about Real Madrid.”
