"We have a lot of desire and illusion"

Lluís López emphasizes that David Gallego is a "very good" coach

Lluís López is living one of his most special summers. The Catalan player is, from this season, player of the first team to all the effects. Undoubtedly, a prize to the effort of so many years in the white and blue Academy. "I've been here for many years, I feel these colours, it's my home. I want Espanyol to grow and the more players from the youth academy can be in the first team, it's a sign that the club works very well", he said.

The player from Manresa has admitted that the squad has "a lot of desire, illusion to play the Europa League. We're preparing as best we can, looking forward to making our debut and achieving our first win at home”.

Lluís has also had time to evaluate some of his own names such as Bernardo Espinosa and Mario Hermoso. "If he arrives -referring to Bernardo- it is something that is very positive because it is a healthy competition, it will make me grow, learn because he has experience and the competitiveness in the back line will be good", he said. About Mario Hermoso he remarked that "he has a very good relationship with Mario, he is a very good central defender, he has taught me a lot, I have learned and it would be very positive if I continued".
