Start well
Javi López, who can arrive to the 200 matches in Primera on Sunday, hopes to maintain "the harmony between team and fans"
After the tie last Saturday in Sevilla, the blue and white squad do not want to miss the opportunity to start adding the three points at the RCDE Stadium. "We want to start well in front our fans", said Javi López. "We want to have the harmony between the fans and the team that was achieved throughout last season. We want people to come, to be proud of us and the stadium to be filled. If we give them what they expect from us, they will respond, as they have always done. We hope they are proud of the team, that they come to the field and that they can enjoy our game".
He said that the game against Leganés will not look like Sevilla’s because the Madrid team "has strikers who play well counter attack so that we should have the ball in our possesion longer time. I think that will be a key factor".
For him, in addition, it can be a special match because it could, should he been aligned, mean his 200th game in LaLiga with the Espanyol shirt. "If I have an opportunity to play because the coach considers it, it will be a figure that I have come through for perseverance, for work, for not giving up, for falling and getting up again, for having a passion for this sport and wanting to improve at all times. If I get it, I will feel very proud because I would fulfill it with the club that gave me everything. "
Finally, he points out that "if we start with three points at home, the draw against Sevilla would be great, but it will not be an easy match. In the first division there is not an easy match at all".
