A little more than 24 hours before After the Euro quarter-final against hosts Germany, Joselu appeared at a press conference to analyse the match, stressing that it will be a game in which “emotions must be controlled in every sense. They are playing at home and will be pushing with all their fans. We want to win and we know how difficult that match will be. We don’t look at past data (Spain has not lost to the Germans for 36 years), what we do is analyse their recent matches and what we have to do.”
“Let’s hope it’s his last game”he admitted when asked about the duel with his now ex-teammate Toni Kroos, who will retire at the end of the tournament. “It’s not a special match because I was here, but because it’s a quarter-final of the European Championship. They are also very favorites to win this tournament.. Playing with Kroos has been a pleasure and reflects everything that Real Madrid is. He has been a teammate, a friend… I have received a lot of advice from him. You have to be very careful with him,” said Joselu, who laughingly acknowledged that “We hope to retire Toni this Friday.”
A Joselu who has barely enjoyed 72 minutes throughout the tournamentall during the match of the third day of the group stage against Albania, to which Spain arrived already qualified. Although judging by his words, he does not seem to give it much importance. “What worried me was being on the list of 26. I think we are all important and we will have our moment, but The day to day is the most important thing in such a long concentration. It is what is leading us to achieve what we are achieving…”
Real Madrid’s departure
Joselu also spoke about his departure from the Real Madrid on their way to the Qatar Leaguespecifically to Al-Gharafa“It was the right time to take the step. I want to thank Madrid, the president, for their involvement in facilitating my departure. Great years are coming for the club, with very young players”said Joselu, who tried to separate his departure from the monetary factor: “I am motivated by the desire to continue competing. My role at Madrid would not have been the same as last year, and I am going to a country where the well-being of my family, of my children, is going to be very good. I have left in the best possible way, and I did not want to go to another European team.”
