The night has not fully faded on November 17, and the La Liga will see a key matchup on November 21 at 4:00 a.m. Beijing time, when Barcelona will meet the challenge of Espanyol in their own stadium. In the midst of this intense collision that is about to erupt, Espanyol head coach Moreno shared his thoughts on rival Barcelona and his praise for the team's core player, De Tomas, in an interview.
Moreno enthused, "The team's performance has been pretty solid so far, but we still have a lot of subjects to solve, and the current 17-point score is just the beginning. The arrival of Xavi has demoralized Barcelona and this positive change has never been seen before and is certainly positive for the team's mentality."
"We've got to focus on ourselves, and the impact is positive and helps boost team morale. I have my own strategy for this game and even though we know each other like the back of our hands, I think Barcelona have the advantage."
Talking about the star player of the Spaniards team, Tomas, Moreno was full of praise. In the last match between the Spanish national team and Sweden, De Tomas wore the No. 11 gown debut, to which Moreno proudly said: "De Tomas outstanding performance, the national team returned, he will be with us to prepare for this game. I firmly believe that he outperformed anyone."
"De Tomas is not only a great goal scorer, he is a versatile player: he has excellent physical conditioning, speed, strength and skill, as well as a keen ability to capture space. Such a well-rounded player is rare and we are lucky to have him."
"At the moment, De Tomas has had a great year here and he plays an important role at the club. If asked for my opinion, I would have liked him to stay here longer."
