Momo González: “I want to earn my place for the World Cup”

Momo González confided in Diario Sport on his season, his development as a player and his objectives. Between lucidity, ambitions and self-criticism, the Andalusian displays a clear message: he wants to take the next step.

A respected player on the circuit

Still present in the world top 16Momo does not feel underestimated:
"Among the players and in the padel community, I feel very valued."
Very close to the public, he also confirms his connection with the fans:
“I feel loved everywhere: in Argentina, in Italy, in Spain, in France…”.

The mental hurdle to overcome

Its main axis of progression is clear:
"My coach tells me I'm too nice and that I need to be a little more cunning at certain times."
A lack of aggression in key moments that may prevent him from beating the very best pairs.

Routines to stay focused

Momo embraces his many quirks on the court:
"If I perform my rituals, it's because I'm focused."
Habits that serve as mental reference points for him during matches.

The World Cup in sight

One of his main goals is to be selected for the Spanish national team:
"It's a thorn in my side that I still have... I want to earn my place for the World Cup."
And not just to participate:
"Go there and win it."

A stable project with Di Nenno

With Martín Di Nenno, he recognizes a different profile from ultra-offensive pairs:
“We lack that power if we are compared to Galán, Coello or Tapia.”
But he insists on their ability to construct points differently:
"We gain points through transitions and other patterns."

Revés confirmed, right wing asserted

He does not regret his move to the right wing:
"I have no regrets... but today I am a better left-sided player."

A clear-headed and ambitious player

Between self-criticism, clear objectives and a desire for stability, Momo González displays a very mature vision of his progression.
If he manages to add that "mischief" he himself mentions, he could take a step forward and establish himself even more firmly among the best pairs... with the Spanish national team in his sights.

Benjamin Dupouy

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
