Hi everyone,<\/p>\n
This is a very special entry: first of all because we play this Monday and on a very particular day, the 26th of December, but also because this is my last post in 2016.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start with the Boxing Day, for me one of the best weekdays of the year. Ever since I came to England, and it\u2019s been six seasons here now, I enjoy playing on this date. British players are used to this, it is a tradition, but for us who arrive from other countries it gets quite surprising year after year, with such a big atmosphere in every stadium and the stands full of kids. Like my little cousins, who are here from Spain with my uncles and aunties to enjoy once again a Boxing Day at Old Trafford. We play Sunderland and our goal, obviously, is to win the three points. That would be the best present for our fans, all due respect to David Moyes\u2019 team -by the way, the manager with whom I arrived to Manchester United; I\u2019ll always be grateful to him and wish him the best.<\/p>\n
Since we play in Manchester, we were able to spend Christmas Eve at home with our families and also celebrate Christmas lunch with them. It\u2019s been a nice kick off to the holidays and we hope to translate that onto the pitch with good games and, of course, more wins. As you know, the Premier League calendar is full with fixtures these days and we will face Middlesbrough on the 31st, so it\u2019s a nice opportunity to close the year in good shape.<\/p>\n
