Aymeric Laporte: No Longer Enemy at Home

French defender Aymeric Laporte (32) reflects on his changing perception in Spain, noting that he is no longer seen as "the enemy at home." Despite his tough on-field image, Laporte describes himself as a reflective and sensitive personality who has connected well with Spain's new generation led by Lamine Yamal.

Having faced Cristiano Ronaldo in La Liga and later becoming his teammate at Al-Nassr, Laporte now prepares to face the Portuguese superstar again in tomorrow's World Cup octaves match at 21:00 (La1 and Dazn). He's focusing solely on football after recent controversies surrounding his international career. sportbet.rodeo
