Media Day with Carlos Coronel
February 20, 2024
MetroFanatic: Carlos, one very important question. Why number 31?
Carlos Coronel: This was my first number like in a professional in Salzburg. It was promotion from the second team for the first team. I can now decide which number I put on my back. And then I come for the first team, it was 31. I say okay. Then I stay I stay with 31. That is because it's my first number like a professional.
MF: Here we had Luis Robles, the greatest goalkeeper in club history.
CC: I know, I like this guy. I asked him before also to take the number because I have a big respect for him. He's a legend here. And of course it's not like because he was 31. It's because he was my first number in a professional soccer.
MF: You tend to run around a lot outside of the box, by choice of course. Sometimes there are mistakes.
CC: This happened when you play like aggressively. I see many videos from Neuer, and I try to follow his style like to play. And I did maybe two or three mistakes like in three years. I think this is okay. This number is okay. But of course it's how I play, a little bit danger.
MF: The moment in the Open Cup when you came on as a field player, that was fantastic. Why did you not take the penalty?
CC: Yeah, I was after... Who is it the last penalty... I think Dante, no?
MF: Dante missed the first.
CC: Yeah.
MF: Dante missed the first, and then we made the other four, but they made five.
CC: I was sixth.
