Marc Márquez: "Until the injury he seemed like a superhero, it was winning and winning"

The man from Cervera presents his documentary 'Marc Márquz: ALL IN', which opens this Monday: "I am prepared not to like everyone"

   MADRID, 19 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Spanish MotoGP rider Marc Márquez (Repsol Honda) acknowledged this Sunday that "even the injury" to his arm during last season "he seemed like a superhero", because it was always "win and win", but he insisted that he is "a person human", at the same time that he reiterated that the "objective" for this course is to "fight again for the World Cup", since "it does not make sense to continue racing filling the grid".

"I want to convey who Marc is, it's not made with the aim of conveying something in particular. Until the injury he looked like a superhero, it was winning and winning, but I'm a human person, and anything can happen to you. It's important not to see only the idyllic athlete, the superhero, there are other things," said Márquez about his documentary 'Marc Márquez: ALL IN' before the 'premiere' in Plaza de España.

The eight-time world champion was the protagonist in a press conference prior to the premiere of the first chapter of his new documentary series, which can be seen in its entirety on Prime Video starting this Monday. "'ALL IN' is my lifestyle, my philosophy, it is what has happened this year, with the move, the operation... All this is reflected in the title, it is to humanize an athlete, reaching all kinds public", he explained about the name chosen for the project ('with everything', in Spanish).

"In the documentary I see myself, I am like that. You expose yourself to everything, and five years ago I was not mentally prepared, but now at 30... I am prepared not to like everyone, you don't have to be the person perfect, that doesn't exist. Many things have happened this year, the move to Madrid, change of manager, the decision of the arm... All the topics of my career are touched on, like the Valentino topic, and you have to speak honestly ", he added.

The one from Cervera admitted that, although he "always" has been "very cheerful and open" in the "professional facet", he had "never" shown his "core". "The injury made me think why so much secrecy. It has made me tougher, more mature, and not afraid to expose myself. I wanted to go with everything, it was either that or retire, go with everything or retire. And it has been worth it. I have managed to get used to the camera and the people, it made us disconnect", he related about what it was like to have the cameras in his day to day.

"It has all been improvised. The story is surreal, I am competing, while I am talking about having surgery the following week. There was a story to tell, nothing had to be created," he highlighted about the "plot" of the documentary, in which you can see a "very human" story. "I saw the withdrawal very close, I even cried, then I was able to talk about the withdrawal while laughing," he added about one of the topics that the series deals with on "the other side of the athlete."

Márquez spoke with Amazon about the possibility of carrying out the project to release it in 2023, the year of his 'return' and in which he will do "everything to win". "For me it doesn't make sense to continue running filling the starting grid. What I do I do with everything, what gives you gasoline is winning, it's the reward that one seeks. The goal is to fight again for a World Cup and that I be ready for it", he assured, although so far the tests with Honda are not going as expected.

"In wave they are the first interested in changing things to win a title, they are moments to be united, there is a lot to do. We come from two bad years and it does not change from one day to the next", he reassured, before confessing that he " would continue to compensate" to go through "so hard" months to win again. "I want a title and to do it you expose yourself to risk. To win you have to risk. It's still my passion. I'm 30 years old and there's still a lot to do," she said.

"I love pressure, and many times when I don't have it I look for a way to generate pressure. For me, media pressure, the responsibility of being a benchmark and a figure, weighs much more than the pressure on the circuit," the pilot concluded. , before, culé confessed, addressing the season of FC Barcelona. "I like Xavi very well, with character, but respectful. Since we're not in the Champions League, at least win the League, but may the best man win," he reflected.
