Chema Andrés was interviewed by COPE, where he discussed his adaptation to the Premier League following his €22 million transfer and the current situation of Spain's U21 team.

Chema Andrés, currently at Spain's U21 training camp in Las Rozas, spoke about his recent developments. The Brighton player has become one of the Premier League's surprise packages this season.

Due to suspension, Chema Andrés will miss the first match against U21 San Marino, but will feature in the match against U21 Romania in Ibiza. Regarding Spain U21's prospects of advancing through qualifying, he expressed strong confidence: "I'd say 200%, we control our own destiny."

Chema Andrés' Performance at Brighton

Brighton have made an excellent start to the season, currently sitting third in the league. The club first claimed a 4-0 victory over Aston Villa, followed by a 3-0 win against Arsenal, with Chema Andrés scoring with a header against Arsenal.

On his €22 million transfer fee, Chema Andrés acknowledged it comes with increased pressure: "It's a big responsibility, but I'm also very grateful because when a club is willing to pay that kind of fee, it means they recognize you and believe in your potential."

Regarding the pace of play in the Premier League compared to the Bundesliga and La Liga, he noted that English football is more dynamic and physical.

He also praised head coach Hürzeler's tactical approach: "He's an excellent coach, very dedicated to individual coaching for each player."

Moreover, he laughed when discussing his adaptation to life in England, mentioning that left-hand driving requires such concentration that he no longer has time to listen to music in the car.

His Contract Relationship with Real Madrid

Following the transfer, Chema Andrés' contractual relationship with Real Madrid has been completely severed, with Real Madrid receiving 50% of the transfer fee from this deal.

When asked about the possibility of returning to Real Madrid in the future, the midfielder preferred to focus on the present: "Of course, I hope to return someday, but I'm not thinking about it right now."

Discussing his performances in matches, Chema Andrés admitted he particularly enjoys winning the ball back defensively: "For me, a good interception, especially winning the ball from an excellent player, feels really great."

Finally, when asked which was stronger—Spain's 2010 World Cup-winning team or the current Spanish national team—the midfielder chose legendary players like Casillas, Ramos, Piqué, Puyol, Xavi, and Iniesta, emphasizing that team has become part of football history.
