The Celta striker is confident of being able to convince Luis Enrique
ORagain him, Iago Aspas Juncal. The good game signed by Eduardo Coudet’s men did not serve the celestial ones to add the three points, but even in defeat, he takes the spotlight. With his double against Sevilla, he turned the game around and managed to put his team back – momentarily – ahead on the scoreboard. In the third celestial goal, Aspas threw picaresque. He let an assist from Denis pass so that it was Brais Méndez who sent the ball to the back of the net. He knows them all. Pure instinct.
After the duel against Sevilla, Iago commented on his impressions: “For the fans it has been a fucking great game, for us screwed up, which we have lost. I think that we have already reached the second half a little tight on gasoline, we have thrown ourselves a little behind and it is not our game. Then we have them given those two goals and a team like Sevilla won’t forgive you “.
“Look at the changes they have made and the ones we have had to make. The striker -Santi Mina- has been injured, Chucky -Facundo Ferreyra- has entered, he has broken his nose and we had no attacker to put on. There is the difference between one template and another, that makes it clear “he said.
The one from Moaña has made Sevilla his favorite victim. The two goals in the municipal of Balaídos raise to 11 the goals that the Seville team has managed to endorse in official competition. In the last six seasons, Moaña’s team has already accumulated more than a hundred goals -101- in his private account – this was pointed out by the statistical account @ AfoutezaRCCelta-. Only Leo Messi and Luis Suárez surpass him. But Iago is much more than goals; he attends, presses, leads, organizes … “If they tell me that Aspas doesn’t score in the next thousand days, I’ll put it the same,” Coudet said just a month ago. It is not for less.
But Iago wants more: “We are going to continue fighting, both the team and I, to see if it gives us to reach both the Euro with the National Team and Europe with the team. I was going through a victory today, to get closer to those positions, but there are eight games left. and we still have to face those three rivals that mark Europe right now, Real Sociedad, Villarreal and Betis and we hope to get positive results to aspire to something more “.
From the rival bench, Julen Lopetegui, the first coach who gave Iago a chance in the National Team, watched the exhibition. A Selection that Aspas longs to return to. 12 goals, 10 assists, and 26 games marking the difference endorse him. With him there is no discussion. It does everything, and it does everything well. Exhausted the qualifiers with the 10 celestial, against Sevilla he was again immeasurable. It remains to be seen if this time Luis Enrique has taken note.
