Real Madrid striker makes feelings clear about working under Jose Mourinho

Real Madrid striker makes feelings clear about working under Jose Mourinho Real Madrid made some very intriguing signings during the last summer transfer window, and some of these players have already established themselves as regular starters for Jose Mourinho, including Ibrahima Konate, Marc Cucurella, Bernardo Silva, and Yan Diomande. Carlos Espi was another player brought in during the summer . Although he has not been a regular starter, he has still shown how crucial he can be. His three goals so far have all came at clutch times for the Merengues, and have directly led to nine points won. As MARCA has reported, the Spaniard appeared in an interview with El Larguero and expressed his happiness and gratitude on how his career has taken shape in recent months: “It’s incredible how much has happened to me. Nobody really expected it, including my entire family. Now it’s time to keep working (…) It’s a little difficult to take it all in because everything is happening so quickly. You have to be prepared because things never stop.” Espi revealed that he had other interesting options, but had no doubts when Real Madrid came asking: “There were opportunities to move to the Premier League, but when Real Madrid came calling, I couldn’t turn them down. Everything happened very quickly; it was all wrapped up in two days.” The striker was keen to continue fighting for the Merengue team, while also continuing his growth: “I’ve come to Real Madrid to learn, improve and continue to develop. I’ll fight for Real Madrid and give everything I’ve got.” The striker was happy with how Mourinho is managing and treating him: “I’ll try to make the most of whatever playing time the coach gives me. What stands out to me about Mourinho is how incredible he is, how approachable he is and how demanding he is. Having him pay so much attention to me is very good. For him to tell me what I’m doing well and what I’m doing wrong is very important to me.” “Mourinho tells me that I have to be patient. I have to make the most of every minute and every opportunity. That comes through working hard every day. Every minute he gives me is worth its weight in gold.” Espi also talked very highly of Kylian Mbappe and was clear that he deserved to win the Ballon d’Or: “Kylian Mbappé is incredible. In every training session, I try to learn from what he does and what he tells me. He’s the best in the world. In my opinion, he deserved the Ballon d’Or. What surprises me most is how good he is, how fast he is and his dribbling ability. It’s a privilege to be able to train alongside him.” With Mbappe ahead of him, it would be very difficult for any striker to get a starting spot at Real Madrid. However, Carlos Espi has truly been taking full advantage of any opportunity that comes his way, and hopefully, he will continue providing the Merengue team with crucial goals throughout the season.
