Pedro Porro has branded himself ‘rubbish’ compared to Spanish counterparts Dani Carvajal and Jesus Navas.
Porro has been among Tottenham’s most important players over the last 18 months and this season alone, he’s among the club’s top two when it comes to tackles (18), blocks (12), interceptions (10) and chances created (13).
The Spaniard also has one goal to his name, netting Spurs’ first of the season in their 1-1 draw with Leicester City.
Porro’s form has been such that he’s already being linked to Real Madrid, and recently declared he is ‘proud’ to see his name associated with the 15-time European champions.
Pedro Porro ‘rubbish’ compared to Carvajal and Navas
Despite all that, Porro takes a dim view of himself in comparison to current Real Madrid right-back Carvajal, as well as fellow Spaniard Navas who, at 38, is still going strong at Sevilla.
However, he’s working hard to reach those levels every day.
“I always look at everything. I get up every morning to improve, I’m a player who always wants more and who takes care of the smallest detail. We don’t have to get stuck on what we do well,” Porro told MaisFutebol while on international duty with Spain.
“I’m a very sincere player, who tells things as they are. I still have a lot to improve, I’m 25 years old.
“I look at the careers of Jesús Navas and Dani Carvajal and say: I’m rubbish. It’s true! If people talk to me about the careers they had, I say: well, I’m on the right track. May I be like them one day, because they are my idols.”
