"We know that every weekend is a final for us, so we approach it calmly and with the desire to keep winning week after week," the Canary Islander striker stressed, echoing a message that Real Zaragoza coach Ibai Gómez has consistently emphasized and conveyed. "The team and the group know that, so we will go for our fifth win, but with our feet on the ground," the forward added.
In this way, and beyond the good run of results, the factor standing out most within the Aragonese club is the team that is being built. "The group being created in there, both those who play and those who do not, seeing how they all come here every day and how each one trains so that their teammates become better, we all compete as one... so I think what we have to value is the group we are building and the team we are moving forward," Espiau emphasized.
As the Canary Islander striker has made clear, Ibai Gómez is the great architect of this optimistic mood: "Ibai is a great coach for me. He asks certain things of us, we have to deliver them, and at the weekend he has to choose eleven players, but we are with the coach until the end." "It is true that I have had few minutes and have mostly come on from the bench, but as I have always done throughout my career, my aim is to help the team and make the most of the minutes the coach gives me," Espiau said about his limited involvement so far.
THE NEXT MATCH
Espiau, the first player at the Aragonese club to score this season, will therefore join a team aiming to secure its fifth consecutive victory this Sunday against Teruel at Ibercaja Estadio. "We want to get the three points with our fans, who support us so much both at home and away," said the forward, who also highlighted "everything Real Zaragoza generates" through the constant presence of its supporters.
"In the end, it is a difficult match. They know it will be a difficult game for both them and us. We have to remain very calm; we know we will have the support of our fans, so we must stay calm and keep our feet on the ground to get the win, because it will be a difficult and long match," Espiau added about the clash between the sides from Zaragoza and Teruel.
