Sergi Gómez: "We are aware that we need to win"

After a start full of doubts, Espanyol wants to add points as soon as possible to restore their lost confidence. In this sense, the Espanyol center-back Sergi Gómez confessed this Wednesday that all the components of the dressing room are "aware" that the team "needs to win" and hopes to do so this Sunday against Valencia at the RCDE Stadium, a match to which he gives relevance maximum.

The Blue and White second captain, at a press conference after training at the Ciudad Deportiva Dani Jarque, stated that the group wants "the three points now". In this sense, the Catalan advanced that the group faces the duel "with the maximum illusion and prudence".

The footballer refused to classify the game against Valencia as a final, although he insisted on its relevance: "It is not, but we must face it with the mentality of a final. We want the points to stay at home and this happens by continuing to believe in the process. We're not getting the award, but it's close.

Regarding the twelve goals conceded so far, the defender assumed that the block must improve this facet. "They are punctual errors and this is easier to correct than planning errors," said the Barcelonan, despite not hiding his "concern" for Espanyol's safety.

On a personal level, Sergi Gómez confessed that he is "very proud and happy" to have been chosen as second captain -Darder is the first- by the dressing room. The player defined the situation as "a very nice challenge" and stressed that he is eager and capable of taking it on.
