Espanyol has begun preparations for their upcoming match against Real Sociedad, training at the Dani Jarque facility. The team is looking to secure their first home victory of the season, which has been a challenge for them so far. Following their recent win against Real Madrid, the team is in high spirits and feeling confident.
After today’s training session, Marash Kumbulla, one of the team’s top performers and leaders, spoke to the media. He stated that “after winning against Real Madrid, we have more courage, but our focus is already on Sunday’s game.” He emphasized the importance of taking it one game at a time, saying “you can celebrate a win, but then you have to think about the next game.”
This Sunday, Espanyol will face another tough opponent as they travel to San Sebastián to play at the Reale Arena. Marash Kumbulla commented on the upcoming match, saying “now I’m focused on Real Sociedad, and then we’ll play against other teams – you have to play against everyone.” He acknowledged that the Reale Arena is a difficult field and that Real Sociedad is a strong team.
Although Espanyol has been successful at home, making the RCDE Stadium a fortress where they have earned many points, they have yet to win a game away from home. Marash Kumbulla expressed his desire to change this, saying “in our last away game, we tied in Seville, and the team and I want to win more points away from home.”
