In an interview with Mundo Deportivo, Spain's Olmo showed his focus and determination for the upcoming Europa League semi-final. Despite the fact that matters such as his future contract have not yet been finalized, he made it clear that his mind is currently fully focused on the semi-final against France.

When asked if he had already decided on his future destination with only a week to go before the end of the Europa League, Olmo showed a high degree of professionalism: "Things are progressing gradually and my team is already aware of my decision. Right now, my only concern is the Europa League semi-finals and other matters are being handled by my trusted team." He emphasized that the details of his personal contract will not affect his performance on the pitch.

On the impending expiration of the release clause, Olmo appeared calm: "It doesn't bother me. All parties involved are aware and working on this and I'm comfortable with that." This calm demeanor certainly gives fans a lot of confidence as well.

On the rumors that former Bayern boss Frick could bring him to Barcelona, Olmo said, "Frick and I crossed paths in the Bundesliga and with the German national team, and he is a very good coach and manager. Now he is in a new phase at Barcelona and I wish him all the best." He did not directly respond to the transfer rumors, but the words revealed the recognition of Frick's ability.

On the topic of being on Barcelona's attraction list, Olmo appeared humble: "Being on the list doesn't mean much, the club will consider several options. My main task is to play well, as for the rest of the club's affairs, that's not in my remit." He made his role clear and focused on his performance on the pitch.

As for the upcoming semifinal opponent France, Olmo showed a high degree of vigilance and respect: "France is a very good team with many world-class players. But we have the confidence and ability to compete with them. We know the importance of this game and are well prepared." He made special mention of the threat of French players such as Mbappe, but also emphasized the team strength and form of the Spanish team.

Additionally, Olmo mentioned the impact of teammate Pedrie's injury on the team, "We're all saddened by Pedrie's injury, but he's a great teammate and friend. We will fight for him and fight for every win. I'm sure he will recover and return to the field soon." This spirit of unity and hard work will undoubtedly provide a strong motivation for the Spanish team to go far in the European Cup.

Finally, Olmo revealed his team's preparation for the French team: "We have watched their matches and done our research. We know their strengths and weaknesses and have made tactical arrangements accordingly. We will keep our focus and fighting spirit in the game and try to get the best result." This kind of serious preparation and positive attitude makes people look forward to the prospect of the Spanish team in the European Cup.
