Carvajal: It’s not easy to make friends at Real Madrid

Real Madrid fullback Dani Carvajal says it’s difficult to form friendships at the club.

The Spaniard explained that everyone at the club is so focused on working on the pitch that they barely open up in private conversations.

“It’s not easy [to make friends at Real Madrid],” he told Esquire.

“When I went to Bayer Leverkusen, where the average age was 23, it was easier.

“We all shared hobbies, we had no wives or children.

“At Real Madrid, everyone has their lives made and it is such an established club, in which everyone fights so much that there is no time for more.

“So, private life is kept on the sidelines.”
