As the UEFA Europa League gets underway, the marquee match between Spain and Germany is about to take place in Stuttgart. In this high-profile match, Spanish striker Joselu made striking remarks at the conference, saying he hoped to "retire" Kroos, the centerpiece of Germany's midfield, on Friday, as a way of demonstrating his desire and confidence in victory.
Regarding the match against Germany in Stuttgart, Joselu said that the match is special not just because of his experience playing here, but more importantly because it is a Europa League quarter-final against a favorite like Germany. He admits that the matchup with Real Madrid teammate Kroos will be one of the focuses of his attention, but he also emphasizes that Kroos is just one of the many good players in the German team, and that they will need to be careful in dealing with the whole team.
Speaking about Germany defender Rüdiger, Joselu said that Rüdiger is the heart of Germany's backline, and his ambition and commitment have made Germany's defense incredibly strong. He admits that it will be an uphill battle against Rüdiger, but he is also confident in his own strength.
In addition, Joselu talked about his decision to leave Real Madrid. He stated that it was a difficult decision to leave Real Madrid, but the time had come and he needed new challenges and opportunities. He thanked Real Madrid, the President and José Angel for their efforts in his transfer and wished Real Madrid continued success in the future.
Joselu appeared to be very calm and rational about some of the criticisms and doubts in Spain. He said that most of what the outside world said is not true, he does not want to participate in these meaningless discussions. He is more concerned about the team's games and his own performance, and hopes to respond to those doubts with practical actions.
Speaking about his reasons for joining the Qatar League, Joselu said it was out of a desire to continue competing and for the well-being of his family. He believes that Qatar is a wonderful country that is very favorable to his family. At the same time, he also said that he will not give up the opportunity to represent his national team and hopes to continue playing for the Spanish national team in the future.
Looking ahead to the match against Germany, Joselu said that despite Germany's poor historical record, they are still a very strong team. He emphasized the importance of controlling emotions and being well prepared in the quarter-finals. He believes that Spain will be able to play to their strengths and win the match.
Finally, Joselu also mentioned his second goal against Bayern in the Champions League as an important victory in his career. He confessed that that game was very special for him as he made many good memories there. At the same time, he also said that Friday's game is equally important for him as he will be here to relive those good times with his mother and sister.
