12月18日讯，35岁的龙东在2024年于帕丘卡打入26球，成为墨西哥联赛和中北美冠军联赛的最佳射手。如今，他将带领帕丘卡迎战皇马参加洲际杯决赛。在接受采访时，龙东分享了他的感受。
对阵皇马的决赛，你脑海中浮现出什么？
龙东表示：“我为能走到这里付出了很多努力。我记得小时候在委内瑞拉观看皇马参与这些重要比赛。正是我的努力与纪律让我达到了今天这个舞台。”
你在西甲表现如何？
他回忆道：“曾经我们在国王杯上凭借卡索拉的进球击败过皇马，但总体来说，我个人表现并不理想。”
打败皇马会被视作‘奇迹’吗？
对此，龙东说：“面对博塔弗戈和开罗国民时，没有人看好我们，因为自11月以来，我们没有进行正式比赛。但最终我们的表现超乎预期，现在一切皆有可能。”
尽管已35岁，你的数据却显示这是多年来最好的状态。
他说：“如果算上委内瑞拉国家队，我今年已经攻入30个进球。当初从阿根廷转会至墨西哥的时候，我遭遇了不少批评，他们认为我退役无望。然而事实证明，一切都很好。我全力以赴地竞争，并且来到帕丘卡后也保持着这样的态度。”
你是怎样保持竞争力的呢？
< p >“虽然年龄增长，但我仍然竭尽所能去训练身体状况非常良好，” 龙东解释，“拳击极大帮助了我，它不仅使我能够暂时远离足球，还提升了我的体能和耐力，让我更具优势。同时，看UFC也是我的爱好之一。此外，我还练习篮球.” < p >< strong > 谈谈即将到来的比赛吧。如果姆巴佩未首发，这是否会影响结果? < pre > “ 我以前与许多他们中的顶尖选手交锋，比如吕迪格、库尔图瓦等。他们各有所长，而我们则专注于自身发挥，将注意力放回团队合作之上。姆巴佩及维尼修斯都是优秀运动员，但作为一个整体，我们需要让他们觉得这场决赛很艰难." Your three children are all from Malaga. Is one of them a Real Madrid fan?" "Yes, my eldest son is 13 and he supports Real Madrid. Even when we were in Mexico, I told him to get ready because we're going to face Real Madrid in the final and that we'll win. He said it would be hard to reach the finals since they had to defeat the Copa Libertadores champion first before facing us again," Dragon Dong recalled with a smile."I responded: 'Just wait and see; we will make it there.' When asked about his allegiance, he insisted: ‘Dad, I'm both a Pachuca supporter but also love Real.’ However, I've imagined this moment ever since winning the CONCACAF Champions League — meeting up with real madrid for an epic showdown." <>You’ve already made history! Does this satisfy you?< / h2 >> << blockquote >>" Being part of club history is truly unique,”he stated proudly.“We have won two trophies by defeating Botafogo & Cairo Nationals.The end result speaks volumes—two medals representing our top-tier status!"
You missed a penalty recently yet continued motivating your teammates during shootouts.< / h3 >> Dragon East reflected on missing out due changes at last minute saying:”My hesitation led me astray.Still here though personally speaking,this team feels like family—unmatched unity along immense sacrifice just as another captain Cabrera emphasized—we must not falter instead support each other without negativity!”
Soon they'll meet you back home in Málaga.Will you bring any trophies along?”
“That’s ideal.Málaga remains my sanctuary where I can disconnect.I enjoy dining at local spots hitting beaches or playing squash/basketball...The people give such unwavering support towards me.As long as it's not Venezuela,Málaga holds special meaning—a place I'll return whenever aiming coaching ambitions someday.” What dreams await ahead besides Wednesday's match? -Participating World Cup perhaps?"Absolutely right! If anything left undone,it’d surely be fulfilling career aspiration—the beauty lies within ourselves working together."
