It could be said that Joselu has been the “first signing” of the 20/21 season, but not the “first new face”. Although it sounds contradictory, the explanation is simple: when the forward arrived at the club on loan from Real Oviedo in the winter market, he did so knowing that if Tenerife kept the category, he would remain in the entity for three years. And so it was since the insular continue in Second. “We finished last year well and we want to continue in this dynamic, it can be an exciting year,” he said after passing the medical examinations.
“At this beginning I am more adapted in the group and I am very excited,” said Joselu. “I want to vindicate myself and start off on the right foot, I really want to,” said the Huelva native who, since arriving on the island, played 19 official matches and managed to score five goals.
The blue and white squad, which is already taking the first steps of the new season, still does not know how the category will be formed as a promotion to the First Division is still missing. “It is a strange situation, we are starting the preseason when the previous one is not over. You have to recharge the batteries and start with the maximum possible enthusiasm ”, he explained.
In that sense, the Andalusian wants to meet his new teammates and Fran Fernández soon. “You have to make a group because the season starts early and there is no time to think.” In addition, he stressed that Juan Carlos Cordero knows the category “and young players will come hungry and wanting to contribute, and the coach with the desire to do great things.”
Regarding the objectives, Joselu explained that in the short term nobody can mark them “because you win two and you think about the Playoff and you lose two and in permanence. When there is a month left to finish LaLiga we will do the math, but we want to start well, “he repeated.
On the other hand, the blue and white squad has already begun to undergo medical examinations after no positive was detected in the PCR controls carried out on the players (with the exception of Elliot, who continues to evolve in the peninsula). One group was submitted this morning, the rest tomorrow Friday and in the afternoon it is scheduled to start working on the green.
