MADRID, 16 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The forward of the Spanish team Joselu Mato was “happy” for his goal and the victory (1-3) over Cyprus this Thursday, a duel “more difficult” than one could think, despite being the bottom of Group A of the qualification for the 2024 Euro Cup, where they contributed new debutants in the ‘Red’ in search of being seeded in the draw for the continental event.
“Happy. We had a more difficult game than people expected. Playing away from home the teams push. We had a very good first half, the team came out with the mentality that these games need. Happy for my goal and helping to add one more game in the classification,” he said in statements to TVE, reported by Europa Press.
The striker made it 0-3 in a match that was leveled in the second half, where Cyprus suffered less and made it 1-3. “These games you have to have details, be focused. The team was focused, the people who came off the bench, who made their debut, gave a very good performance. It’s very good that people continue to debut, it means that the level of the League is very good,” he said.
On the other hand, Joselu was asked about his good scoring streak, in a meeting that he did not share this time in minutes or on the grass with Álvaro Morata. “Here we are not fighting for any position, each one comes to add and each one contributes what he knows, what he has learned and that is why he is here,” he noted.
“The 25 of us are important, the coach has made it clear many times. I have a very good relationship with Álvaro, I am delighted to share a position with him and that he continues to do as well as he is doing,” he concluded.
