Carlos Espí: "These have been incredible days, but I can't wait to step onto the Bernabéu"
"I am very happy about my debut, my goal, and for giving the team the victory," added the forward on Realmadrid TV.
Carlos Espí gave an interview to Realmadrid TV after his official welcome ceremony at the Ciudad Real Madrid. The forward shared his feelings: “The truth is that it is a source of pride. I am very happy for my family and for myself, and I will give my all for this club. It is an honor to be next to the president, accompanied by my entire family. Seeing the fifteen Champions is truly impressive, I am very happy.”
“My transfer happened in four days. As soon as I got the call from Madrid, it’s impossible to say no. We are very happy. They told us to keep it a secret, not to say anything. My grandmothers are here now, but they didn’t know anything either. Not even my friends, no one knew anything. I couldn’t say a word. I even came here to Madrid without anyone knowing. It all happened on Thursday, and when it came out, you can imagine how my friends and family reacted, asking where I was going. And here I am, at Real Madrid.”
What surprised him the most
“It’s impressive. They take care of every detail. The footballing level is the best in the world. The facilities, the Bernabéu... When I went to the Bernabéu, it was incredible.”
Goal on his official debut
“Between all the messages and the euphoria I felt, I’ve slept very little. Honestly, it was a very beautiful moment. We were all very excited and euphoric. It was with him and with all the players, because when I scored the goal, everyone was there in the corner. It was incredible that they were all with me and so happy for me.”
Comparison with Joselu
“They have sent me messages, they’ve been with me, and it’s an honor that all the players at Real Madrid are very happy for me. Joselu also posted something. Courtois told me about it, and it was a funny moment. Joselu is a great player. I’m here to support, to give my all, and to make the most of every opportunity.”
Hidden talent: playing the oboe
“When I was little, in my town, my friends and I were at a conservatory. It’s just another facet of life.”
Debuting at the Bernabéu
“The truth is these have been incredible days, but I’m already thinking about Wednesday and experiencing the atmosphere at the Bernabéu, which is amazing, and I can’t wait to step onto the pitch.”
Message to madridistas
“Hello, madridistas. I am very happy to be here, for my debut, my goal, and, of course, for giving the team the victory. I hope to see you all on Wednesday against Real Sociedad. A hug. ¡Hala Madrid!”
