Although from the moment De Burgos Bengoetxea signaled the initial whistle Diego Lopez will no longer have friends on the playing field, the Asturian footballer who was raised in La Masia has melted into praise this Thursday to his old club, where he highlighted a quarry producing “a very good job” and “that’s why a lot of good players are coming out.”
Diego López, who entered the elite last year and this year joined himself in the First Division of Spanish football, explained that next Monday he will congratulate Gavi and Fermin at Montjuic, as he had accompanied them at La Masia, but above all he mentioned a Lamine Yamal which he discovered at a young age but “it was already clear that he was going to be a good player”.
“The quarry is working well, La Masia has always produced very good players, but the same thing happened in Paterna. We have started in a good way and that is the basis, it is what most teams have to do, work on the youth system. I am obsessed with football and like me, many young people will want to be among the first teams of their city,” highlighted Diego López in a press conference after training this Thursday.
The Asturian also pointed out that this Monday’s game is key for Valencia’s ambitions in Europe, He emphasized that it will be a Barcelona-Valencia that “lives up” to its historic predecessors and revealed that Rubén Baraja is the first not to put pressure on his players to be in Europe.
”I don’t think there’s any doubt that the team want to play Europe next year,” said the Asturian, who commented that his great rivals, Betis, are for him the fourth best team in the League and “they have a great team” but they will fight until the last game of the League that will be “an acknowledgment of the good times” of Valencia.
Because of this, he said that Baraja asked them to keep a cool head and “don’t be obsessed” with the European prize, because the pressure is from teams like Villarreal or Betis, not from Valencia, who initially had to fight to avoid relegation.
“We can week close to that goal and the locker room is calm and without pressure,” insists Diego López, who prefers to play on the right wing, where he finished last season, despite the fact that he spent thirty days alternating between midfielder and left wing
Also, he claimed the Evidence of thought of elite football, although he says that for him “nothing has changed” his appearance in the First Division: “When I returned to Turón (Asturias), I was still sitting at the bar of my parents’ bar and talking to everyone, ” said Diego López, who dreams of being one of those chosen to go to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
