“I still don’t believe it,” admits Joselu

“I still don’t believe it. It is the maximum that a player can have. The work pays off », recognized Joselu Mato after his dream debut with the Spanish team, two days before his 33rd birthday. “Age doesn’t matter to me, because I feel, today above all, like an 18-year-old boy,” proclaimed the Espanyol striker, who dedicated his goals to his deceased father and his family.

«I always kiss the shin guards. On the left I carry my father, may he rest in peace, and on the right I carry my family, my children and my wife. Family is what gives me strength to continue. I want to hug my family because today is an amazing day,” he proclaimed.

Joselu wanted to thank his mother and his wife for their presence at La Rosaleda, and also the confidence of Luis de la Fuente. «I thank the coach for everything. He has trusted me in the first prelist and I have responded with more than enough”, admitted Joselu, who recalled that, to score his first goal, Fabián Ruiz put him from the band “an incredible ball”. “Now you have to enjoy and recover,” he concluded.

Luis de la Fuente described Joselu as “a magnificent footballer who is doing a great job.” “I am happy, not only for him, but for everyone, for the desire to win the game and his performance.” “We have to keep working, because there is a lot to improve, but I am very happy, because the attitude of the players makes me very optimistic.”

He also defined Kepa as “a great goalkeeper.” «We celebrate having both Kepa and the rest of the goalkeepers, but I am really happy for the players. They already had me won, but now much more ».

The scorer of the first goal, Dani Olmo, wanted to congratulate Joselu on his two goals and on his debut. “He’s been amazing.” He also thanked the coach for granting him ownership “and for De la Fuente’s debut.” “I am prepared to demand myself to the maximum as well. Now there is a deeper game and spaces are attacked more. We have been good both in defense and in attack,” said Olmo.
