Joselu: "Güler is a Diamond"
Real Madrid striker Joselu Mato tried to find a positive takeaway from the 4-4 draw against Villarreal at La Cerámica, a result that saw Real Madrid surpass their best unbeaten run in a league season. He highlighted the quality of Turkish player Arda Güler, who scored twice, calling him "a diamond."
"He's a talent, a diamond that we have. We've taken great care of him throughout the year. He didn't start well due to injuries, but we've all supported him and treated him like our little brother, especially the veterans. He's showing his quality now. He has a bright future ahead and will bring a lot of joy to Real Madrid fans," Joselu praised in the club's media.
Joselu lamented that the team conceded four goals, the most in a single match this season, but focused on the team's offensive prowess.
"The first half was very good. Offensively, the team was very sharp. These matches help us prepare for what's coming in two weeks and ensure everyone maintains their spark and rhythm. In the second half, they had a lot at stake. We need to focus on the positives and keep moving forward," he analyzed.
"We've been very consistent throughout the season. Today was a game with a lot of goals, but the result is what it is. Once again, the team didn't lose, and that's the path we've been on this season. It's not pleasant to concede four goals, but these preparation matches for what's coming in two weeks can be like that. The squad has done a great job from start to finish," he added.
