Puado: Espanyol can beat Real Madrid at Bernabeu, and if they advance to the European game, they will give away 20 jerseys

September 19th, Espanyol will play against Real Madrid away in this round of La Liga. Before the game, Espanyol striker Puado was interviewed about the game.

How do you think of the Spaniard's current excellent condition (currently ranked third in La Liga)?

First of all, it was happiness, and obviously, I was very happy with the start of our season. I think the start of the league often determines the trend of the season, and seeing us win continuously and achieve good results is a good thing for the club. And for us, this is obviously very important at the motivational level.

When renewing your contract, you said that your unfinished dream at Espanyol was to see the team appear in the European arena again. Do you think this dream is closer now?

Yes, but we can't be crazy about our goal of entering the European war this year. I think we have experienced several years of relegation and upgrades, and these few years are not the year to enter the European war. We only played four rounds, we did a good job, and I have said many times that if we had the chance to enter the European game at the end of the league, we would have fought 100% but now we have to take one step at a time, one game after another, as people often say, strive for as many points as possible, and we can see where we can reach the end of the season.

Considering that a more realistic goal is to relegate more easily than last year, what would you make if you ended up leading the Spaniard into the European war?

I don't know, I don't know what I can promise (laughs). I will give 20 pieces of my jersey to Espanyol fans.

is now going to play against Real Madrid. Is it possible for Espanyol to score three points at the Bernabeu Stadium and top the La Liga standings?

Of course, there is no doubt. Otherwise we won't kick. We can certainly win this game, but it will be very difficult and it is obvious that it will not be easy against Real Madrid, especially at their home court. But last year we beat them. Someone asked me if this is a good time to go to the game. This is the schedule. You have to play against Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, and the best teams. We go with the greatest enthusiasm. We must work hard to achieve good results, but we must also be smart. If you can't win, it would be a good point to get a draw on such a stadium. Based on this, we must play with the greatest confidence we can do.

Espanyol beat Real Madrid at home last year, but has never won since Laldin scored twice in 1996. When communicating with him, he told me that the "Lardin" in the team is you now, and it is more of a symbolic meaning, representing your significance to the Spaniard. How do you view this comparison?

Lardin was the one who signed me to come to Espanyol, and he was the director of youth training at that time. So, he said that to me, of course, was a kind of pride for me. It's always nice to say these words to you, a player like Yordie Laldin who has left his mark in La Liga and Espanyol. I hope that victory can be repeated, and it would be incredible if I could score two goals, but the important thing is that the team can win and get good results in such a difficult stadium, as I have already said, keep getting points.

Last season, you and Roberto partnered on the front line, and this year, there is also Kirk Garcia. What can Kicker bring you something that Roberto doesn't have?

I think they are different types of players. Kicker is experienced in La Liga. He is a more standing player who can hold almost all the balls. He fought for active efforts and won almost all confrontations.

Now what can Roberto bring to you that Kike Garcia doesn't have?

For example, Roberto is faster, more fighting and can score goals. They are players who can complement each other and help us a lot. When you play on the wing or behind them, they are crucial to us and are very important players.

When talking about important players at the beginning of this season, what do you think of Dolan? Did he surprise you? Did you know him before?

No, I don't know him, to be honest, we are very satisfied with him. And from the first day he came, you can see him trying to adapt and do things well. And he played very well, so he helped us a lot. It can be seen that he is a very good player and a very good person. He was learning Spanish, attending classes every day, and from the first day he came to the training ground, he made the best efforts. Therefore, the efforts and persistence he made after coming here were reflected in the competition.
