Mikel Merino, international midfielder for Real Sociedad, He scored his first goal with the Spanish team in his 17th match, in a loss of Cyprus in Granada (6-0), with a goal he said he will never “forget.”
“I am very happy and proud for scoring my first goal. There are several games in which I participated, I had chances but I didn’t capitalize and now, finally, I scored a goal that I will never forget,” he confessed.
Merino emphasized the value of scoring for the Spanish team for the second game in a row, to forget the defeat suffered in Scotland. “We know they can set up a game with a defense five, shut down, but the team played a very serious game, with patience and speed of the ball so that they did not arrive on time. So we got good centers and reached the crowded area. It paid off,” he analyzed Teledeporte.
“It’s not easy to win like that. All teams have many arguments to make it difficult for you. It may take you the first few minutes but this team is patient, hard working and we keep going strong until the end. It’s not a coincidence, we want it and we looked for it until the last minute and we have found it,” he said.
