Kumbulla: "We are in better spirits"

The defender talks about the week of work

Marash Kumbulla wants RCD Espanyol to continue their good run of results this Sunday at the Reale Arena.

Last Saturday's victory against Real Madrid has had a positive impact in the team's training sessions this week, according to the player. He told the media on Thursday that: "We are in better spirits and are having a great week of work. We are only focused on the next game and we are not looking beyond that."

The centre-back, who is one of the regulars in the defensive line this season, explained that it will not be easy to get points against Real Sociedad.

"We are going to a very difficult ground, to play against a strong team. We know the quality that their forwards have, as they already demonstrated when they came here, and we have to be careful with all their players at all times."

The Basque team are not going through a good run of form and, for that reason, Kumbulla warns that "they will come out more motivated and eager to win again at home. However we know that we can have a great game. We want to get more points away from home, as we did in Seville, and we are going there with a lot of desire to win and do well."
