Eneko Jauregi: «My reference is the great scorers»

Eneko Jauregi suma ya ocho goles. / F. Romero

The eight goals scored in eight games make the Amorebieta striker the top scorer in the entire First Federation

Eight days, eight goals. Five of them achieved in the last two days. Check every 72 minutes. Eneko Jauregi’s average is at the level of the great scorers of the old continent, something that makes Muxika’s striker proud. At 26, he is experiencing the best moment of his career in an Amorebieta in need of goals and points to get out of the bottom of the table.


Things can’t go better at this start of the season…

– I am very happy with how everything is turning out from the beginning. In preseason it was difficult for me because I had an injury, but I arrived in Sabadell with only one training session, I scored and we were able to score points.


Five goals in two games, eight in total, top scorer for the First Federation… he practically scores everything he touches.

– I’m having good opportunities and I’m getting them. Being top scorer at this point is an extra motivation, but it also helps me not to relax. Because if you don’t keep dialing, it’s worthless. What I have is the desire to score every weekend and increase the numbers.


Speaking of numbers, his right now are those of a great goalscorer.

– My references have always been the great scorers, since I was little. When you see that they do things like that, score so many goals, I drool, it makes me envious to see how they do it. And feeling that way is a spectacular feeling. I am going to try to extend this moment as much as possible. The more goals, the better. That will be good for everyone.


The paradox is that Amorebieta is one of the teams that scores the most… but it is down in the table.

– In front of goal we are doing a lot of things well, we have good players to create many chances. It is true that for goals we should be a little higher. We are a new team and at the beginning it is always difficult. But now we understand each other better. We know the mistakes we make and how to correct them. We must polish details behind and continue to improve globally.


After a month of poor results, the victory in the derby took a weight off their shoulders.

– Throughout the week we didn’t say anything other than that we had to win and keep a clean sheet. So it was. After a difficult first half, we were calm because we knew that in the second we were going to attack more, to play with more rhythm. The match ended perfectly.

At 26, he has a long team history behind him. It could be said that he is a ‘restless ass’.

– My pulse has never shaken to move outside the house. I think it is very important for one to live experiences, I have not stopped moving, but they have not been good years in sports either. Although they have helped me to learn. When there were bad feelings or an injury, in the end they were stones that made you fall, but there was no choice but to get up. It’s been nine years away from home, from my family. They are stages and moments that you live. If you don’t take an example from the things that have happened to you and learn, it’s worthless.


What made you opt for Amorebieta?

– I’ve been away for a long time and they haven’t been good years. I wanted to go back to do it right. I live ten minutes away. Being able to come here and be surrounded by my family, my friends was decisive for how I am as a person, that gives me a lot on a day-to-day basis. When the opportunity arose for me, I didn’t have many doubts because I had in my head wanting to do things well and wrap myself up, that’s very important.


In his day he was already tempted by Bilbao Athletic. Can you imagine a call from Ibaigane because of his good numbers at the end of the season?

– Of course you imagine things. In the end, a lot of people surround you. Friends tell you nonsense, they joke… One always dreams of that kind of thing. Before playing I always think that I am going to score, to keep adding. At the end of the year, God will tell what can happen. But of course you imagine things.
