Espanyol midfielder Álvaro Aguado stated this Wednesday, in his presentation as a new blue and white footballer, that he intends to achieve promotion to LaLiga with his team and fully trusts in the project's ability to achieve it.
The signing, in a press conference held at the Stage Front Stadium, was ambitious: "I want to play in the First Division and consolidate myself in the category and in this club I see that I can do it. I hope to be here for many years. I am with teammates who do not I think they are from the Second Division and I know that it will be difficult for me to win the position.
The player, who arrives free and signs for two seasons, insisted that he arrives "with a great desire to contribute and to row"; and he made it clear that the group is "prepared to fight for the objective." In this sense, Aguado confessed that he "likes" the pressure of achieving promotion to the First Division.
Álvaro Aguado acknowledged that it has been a "very complicated" summer being without a team after ending his contract with Valladolid: "I wanted to take the steps firmly and safely. It has taken a long time due to many issues. It has been an easy decision because Garagarza (the blue and white sports director) has been very stubborn."
Regarding the team's current good progress, Aguado was cautious: "If we think that we are going to be promoted in January we will be very, very wrong. We are going with the utmost humility and ambition and we hope to be in the First Division in May. There are many games left and the Second Division is very long. ".
On the other hand, the Andalusian assured that both Darder, a former blue and white, and he are footballers "of the same or similar profile", although he noted that "Darder is Darder and Aguado is Aguado." "I come to add to what I have done since I was little. I am flattered that I can be compared to him and I hope I can help," he added.
The sports director, Fran Garagarza, was "very satisfied" with the incorporation: "We want to thank him and his wife for taking the step of coming to Espanyol. It has not been easy, but we were clear that we had to work hard. "He is a footballer with experience and with a profile that we understood would help us."
