"We want to win to keep growing"
Leo Baptistao warns that Deportivo de la Coruña has a good team
Leo Baptistao is still one of the team's references. The Brazilian player commented that Espanyol's goal is to win the three points against Deportivo de la Coruña (Riazor, 21h) with the aim of continuing to grow although he has warned that the Galician team has very good players.
"I do not think that Deportivo is an easy rival, has a good squad and has good players, but it has lacked luck, maybe they did not have the intensity of the start of the season and that has complicated their situation, we want to win on Friday as always and more after three very difficult matches", he said, adding that the squad is "confident and positive". "We played good games against tough opponents, we look forward to continue growing, we want to win as many games as possible. We want to win on Friday”.
Asked about the games ahead the forward has insisted that the priority is Deportivo de la Coruña. "We are not talking about goals, but about how to win Deportivo, I think we should win on Friday, the team too, so we are focused on this game, we want to win to keep growing."
On the game, Baptistao said that the team is "doing its style: direct play and get fast to the opposite field. Sometimes it goes well and others do not. We play with intensity, we run, but maybe we need a bit of luck".
In the personal aspect, the Brazilian has indicated that "I feel very well. I have a long continuity and I am happy. I can improve, both me and everyone. I am happy".
