Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simon admits he's unhappy with TV cameras in the dressing room on matchday.

LaLiga media are introducing several innovations to their coverage this season, but Simon isn't a fan.

He said, "The dressing room is always lived as something personal, private, for us. When you go out to a game, you need rituals, concentration, having people you are comfortable with.

"Seeing cameras that are recording you how you put on your shin guards or tying your boots, that you still don't want anyone to find out. Or you're praying to a saint, what do I know!

"I don't like it, I don't feel comfortable. It seems to me that it is our sacred moment and I feel that someone is invading it. Players have many hobbies that we don't want to come to light."

He added, "Soccer is logically a show for fans. I understand that people want to see games continuously, but we do not have to forget that we are not machines. We are human and we have limits, we suffer.

"Lately, it is being seen that there are more complicated injuries and I think you should look at it. It is not I who make these decisions, I am an errand. It is a lot of burden in a season, but I have to play the games they tell me."
