How are you after your first goal in Primera?
Well, the truth is that I am very happy. We have achieved an important victory and I was lucky enough to score my first goal in the First Division, so this week I am in a different spirit and working harder than ever.
What does it taste like?
It tastes like pride, satisfaction. I have achieved the dream of any child who starts playing soccer from a young age: to debut in the First Division and score in the highest category. I have been able to achieve it and I am immensely happy.
It came with a peculiar celebration. For what is this?
It's for my wife. In the end I am always touching her face, the cheek, and it is a gesture reminding me of her, which is the one who is holding on and always here with me. I think he deserves it.
It is surprising that he is married so young.
Yes, well, the truth is that we have things very clear. I know she is the woman of my life.
The fact is that he had a first experience in the category. Why didn't your stage in Valladolid take shape?
Well, the truth is that the jump was great. It is not an excuse, but it was a jump from Second B to First and maybe it was not the moment or the team. I was very comfortable in Valladolid, things did not turn out the way I would have liked. But I have nothing to reproach them for. Unlike.
Here, however, it seems that everything has been rolled from the beginning. The preseason was spectacular.
Yes, the truth is that I started the preseason very well. I came with a lot of desire. Playing in First is the dream of every child and I had already been in a team of the category and I had no luck. Here I came with the clear ideas that this had to be my year, that I had to seize the opportunity and work hard to get into the team.
However, the start of the course has been complicated.
At the end when the calendar comes out we see that the first days we have are going to be very hard. We had very difficult rivals in front of us and we only got one victory in the first matches. Then it is true that we went into a bad streak and we did not get the victory, in the end due to mistakes we have and we did not correct. We try to work for it every week and in the end, everything went against Getafe. We had to get the victory and it was.
He has participated in all the matches. How does it go from revulsive to eleven?
Well, I try to work every week, I try to make it difficult for the coach. He is the one who has to make the eleven and we have a very good team, with great footballers and I am not worried about entering the eleven or getting out of shock. I will try to make the most of the minutes they give me, show what I have inside and try to contribute to the team, with goals if the opportunity arises, to achieve victory.
Without Campaign, Bardhi, Morales on the bench … The victory in Getafe was the group's revolution. A message that everyone is important.
If that is. It's a shame that we have injured players. Both Campaña and Bardhi are two magnificent players who give a lot to this club. We try to do our best in each training session, each game, as I have told you, we are a great group of players and everyone can start. Whoever does it maintains the level, he will give his best and I believe that when the group is united things go well.
I don't know if you think that so many injuries have some kind of connection with last season's restart. (Roger, Rochina, Campaña, Bardhi, Vukcevic, Vezo, Miramón, annoyances from Dani Gómez …)
Yes I think so. In the end it is a new situation for everyone. We are getting together with many games in a row, the schedule is tighter because the season started a little later than normal. With so many games you have less rest and unfortunately there are injuries that are good … let's see if we recover soon the teammates who are out and we can move on because we really need them.
After the reaction against Getafe, now they have to fish in the troubled waters of Barça, then Real Sociedad … There is no truce in the First Division.
This season everything is very tight. All the teams are having good games, good days and you can't get lost one bit. We will go this weekend to the Camp Nou, we will try to bring the three points home and once it is over we will think about the next one.
Is the situation of Barça surprising from outside?
In the end all teams can go through a bad streak, but that does not take away from the great footballers they have. It is sure to be a very complicated match. We are going to try to carry out our game, try to get the three points and see if we can bring them home.
He could debut at the Camp Nou after scoring in First. It doesn't sound bad.
The truth is that the Camp Nou is a spectacular stadium. Last year I was there with Valladolid, but I did not enjoy minutes. In the end I am very happy to be in the First Division. All the fields are incredible and I am very proud to step on each one of them because for me this is a dream.
He is a very shy boy off the field and all personality within him. Do you identify with that definition?
Yes, totally. I am a very shy person. In the end when you get to a new dressing room it is complicated, but here I had no problem and they supported me a lot from day one. There was also Dani Gómez, who knew him from Castilla, and between the two of us we supported each other when we arrived. But the truth is that I have no complaints from my teammates or the club because I have been very good from the beginning. Then on the field you always get that competitive gene and that desire to win the game that shyness is a little to one side.
His irruption, saving the distances, by style and character, reminds in a certain way that of Morales.
Yes, well, hopefully I have the trajectory that Morales has. The truth is that he helped me a lot from the first day also as captain. And, well, maybe he was also reflected in that shyness. And the truth is that for me it is a pride that I can be compared a bit with its beginnings. The truth is that I am happy, I will continue working to the maximum and I hope that good results continue to come.
