Alvaro Morata: "I sign up for not playing if La Roja continue winning"

will conclude the group stage of their Qatar 2022 campaign on Thursday after the increased tension in the group following their draw against Germany.

insists he won’t have any complaints if he has to watch their match against Japan from the bench, just like their two previous matches. 

"

At club level you've got more time to train, more space, and obviously, you want to play,"

he told

.

"But here, I can assure you that it doesn't bother to me at all [to be a substitute].

"In fact, if I had to choose coming on from the bench in all the games, or even not playing, but the team wins the World Cup, I would sign up for it. I would cheer the team on from the bench.

"In the end, we have a goal, a dream, and all of us feel important. Everyone is important in different ways. All of us are important and everyone has his function.

"Many players who don't play can be the ones who give more to the group. Historically, it has been like that in the national team.

"I always give an example to the people that want to play but don't play as much as they want. They have to look at Pepe Reina and Iker Casillas.

"They were here [previous World Cups] without playing, but they always gave their best, so they are examples to follow, and they got the credit that they deserved, whether they played or not."

He went on to talk about the 

criticism

he gets from fans:

"I enjoy doing my job.

"People can call me crazy, but I have spent maybe eight or nine years of a career that can last 15, thinking about what, how, and when people say.

"A person has to be happy as he is, assume the good and bad things, and don't let anyone take away your happiness.

"If there is one thing I regret in my professional career and in my life, it is having been my own worst enemy many times."
