“The objective remains the same”

Javi Puado has his sight fixated on automatic promotion ahead of the visit of Real Oviedo

Javi Puado assures that the team is still focused on achieving automatic promotion back to LALIGA EA SPORTS.

Speaking ahead of the visit of Real Oviedo to the Stage Front Stadium on Monday, Puado said, “We are focused on winning on Monday, then we have to wait and see what else happens. It does not just depend on us, but the objective remains the same. As long as it is mathematically possible, we will go for automatic promotion.

“We are not talking about anything else, but in the hypothetical case of having to compete in the play-offs, that is also an option to get promoted. Whatever it is, we have to achieve it”.

RCD Espanyol face another crucial match against a direct promotion rival, with the last three games all coming against sides around the play-offs and beyond. Oviedo sit right on the tail of Manolo González’s men, who will be desperate to end their drawing streak.

Puado explained, “This season we have had good goalscoring streaks, and though now we are very good defensively in attack, we are not hitting the mark and are on a goalless run. We must keep fighting and keep trying, we will give everything to achieve it. We want the victories to come as soon as possible and get the three points for the fans”.
