Raul Albiol spoke to 'Radio Marca' about Villarreal's current affairs. However, the centre-back also had words for the Spanish national team and Sergio Ramos, with whom he confessed to being surprised by the statement he published.

Raul Albiol is one of Villarreal's key players. The captain of the Yellow submarine spoke to 'Radio Marca' on Thursday, where he not only talked about his club. The Spanish national team and Sergio Ramos were also mentioned.

The 'Groguet' centre-back said he was "surprised" with the PSG player: "Yes, I was surprised. Nobody expected that statement and in the end it's a decision for the coach, I don't know if it's together with the Federation or on his own. The conversation is between Sergio and Luis.

Raul Albiol confessed that he is not "right now" focused on the Spanish national team: "I'm thinking about everything, about demanding myself in every game and about my team achieving their objectives. After that, everything is minor, I don't have the national team on my mind right now. There are a lot of players and it's always difficult".

The reason? The player denied Luis de la Fuente's call: "He hasn't called me. He is the one who has a plan and who is going to decide the future of the national team. Everything he does will be respected in the same way as it happened with Luis Enrique".

As for Villarreal, Raul Albiol revealed what could not be the objective in Castellon: "The Champions League could have been an objective back in the day, but our season is complicated. It was a blow for me and for everyone when Unai Emery left. Now we can't think about the Champions League".
