Kepa: Compared with La Liga, the Premier League does not pay attention to the protection of goalkeepers, and the referee does not call it a blow if he is elbowed.

. The main goal of any goalkeeper is to help the team and do their job well. Obviously, this is a special location. We spent a lot of time with coach Inaki, pushing each other, and the training was always tough, which was good.

We prepare for possible situations we may encounter during the game. The more you do in training, the more workload you have during the week, and the games will be slightly easier. We have to push each other and we continue to do that. We both love to train, love to train hard and motivate each other every time we train. Just like Inaki said, sometimes training will be hard, and the game will feel easier. That's what we do.

About the difference between the Premier League and La Liga

I think if we compare the top teams, the level is about the same. When these teams meet in the Champions League, the result depends on small details every time. Some years there are more English teams in the later stages, sometimes there are more Spanish teams, but generally it's about the same.

I think the difference is that the mid-table level in the English league is higher. Every game is very demanding. This can be seen from the transfer market, such as how England introduces important players from various leagues. This makes the mid-table level of the Premier League much higher and makes those games more difficult.

In terms of style, now because there are Spanish coaches and many coaches of different nationalities, I feel that it is rich in terms of tactics, spirit and different ways of playing.

Perhaps there was one style 25 years ago, but now it is more diverse. The style of a team may be closer to that of another country's team than that of a team in its own league.
