With Alvaro Morata injured, Joselu Mato could end up being Spain's starting striker for their UEFA Nations League games against Serbia and Switzerland. Now at Al-Gharafa, the veteran marksman will aim to impress in what could be one of his last chances at international level.
Joselu spoke to the media on Wednesday, and one of the topics of conversation was Kylian Mbappe, the man who “replaced” him at Real Madrid. He gave his point on the slow start that the Frenchman had at the Santiago Bernabeu (via AS Diary).
“I know what Real Madrid is and I know the conditions that Mbappe has, and for me there is no doubt. Mbappe is like a bottle of ketchup. At first press and nothing comes out, but then all the tomato sauce out at once. He has already scored two goals against Betis and will continue to score. Mbappe will make history at Real Madrid – he and everyone around him.
Joselu also took the opportunity to remember his only season at Los Blancos.
“We won the League, the Champions League and the Spanish Super Cup. And also the League of Nations and the European Championship with the National Team. For me it was something incredible. It was a season in which we only lost two games in all year. What happened to Real Madrid it was spectacular. For me it was an unforgettable stage.”
