Fresneda: "On a personal level, I was happy with last season"

Fresneda was spotted at Miami Stadium on Sunday, attending the Uruguay-Cape Verde match to support his Sporting teammate, Maxi Araújo. This follows his previous appearance at the Celeste's game against Saudi Arabia, where the Sporting left-back scored the equalizer in a 1-1 draw.

As the Spanish player made his way into the stadium, he was approached by a CNN reporting team and offered a few remarks.

"We're here to watch Uruguay play. Maxi [Araújo] sorted out the tickets for me, my friends, and my family," he revealed.

With Sporting's pre-season training set to begin on July 1st, Fresneda confirmed he would return to Portugal next Thursday and start working earlier at the Alcochete academy.

"On a personal level, I was happy with last season. I got more minutes and managed to perform at a higher level than in my first season. I was pleased, but we need to focus on the next season and aim to do even better," he stated.

The Spanish international has been linked with moves to both English and Spanish clubs, but Sporting has Fresneda under a tight contract. Looking ahead to the upcoming season, the 21-year-old full-back expressed his eagerness to share the locker room with two Uruguayans: Maxi Araújo and Rodrigo Zalazar.

"Of course, I want to play with both of them! Zalazar is a fantastic player; everyone in Portugal saw that."
