Clear ideas
Jurado points out that the team is reinforced from the derby and that the ambition of the group is to fight for the best possible position
José Manuel Jurado returned to the starting lineup against Barcelona on Sunday. The Andalusian footballer said that the team comes out strengthened from the derby and said that Espanyol will fight to achieve the best possible position. "I think the derby reinforces us, playing against FC Barcelona is not easy, because it is one of the best teams in the world, but we have shown that we can compete at that level and make it difficult for a team like FC Barcelona. We showed a competitive mentality and we will fight to get the three points”, he said.
Jurado, who has assured that he is at a good level, has declared that the players always look "up". "We are ambitious and we will fight until the end to be as high as possible. I do not know where we will arrive, but our ambition makes us look as high as possible. The players like to fight for something and we want to be doing it until the end". The Andalusian midfielder has insisted that "this is the way". "We showed it against FC Barcelona, we competed and we had opportunities from 1 to 90. We have to continue like this and this is the line. We have clear ideas”, he said. Finally, he said that "it is better to play against teams that have more possession because they leave more space".
