Joselu He turns 33 on Monday and he couldn’t have given himself a better gift: in his debut with Spain, he scored two goals in the win against Norway. “Age doesn’t matter, I feel like I’m an 18-year-old,” said the Espanyol striker on Teledeporte, unable to erase the smile from his face. He barely needed four minutes to achieve a double. He entered the field in 81 and in 84 he was already having his first celebration. He pitched beautifully, spin, smooth, a center of Fabian, who had jumped with him onto the lawn. The scorer kissed his shin guards before going out onto the field. “I always kiss them. I have my father in the one on the right, may he rest in peace. On the left, my wife, children and mother. It is what always gives me strength », he explained. «This is the reward for daily work. I want to thank my wife and my mother and children, who have beaten themselves to come see me, “insisted the attacker, who made Luis de la Fuente’s call good. “I thank you for everything: being here, trusting me… I have responded more than once,” said Joselu, whose magical night did not end with that headbutt. Practically in the next action he took advantage of a series of rebounds in the area to send the ball into the net for the second time. Four magical minutes to score two goals. He didn’t need to play many more to be the man of the match. “I don’t believe it,” he insisted.

He is scoring many goals in his club and we only give him recognition for the work he is doing. I’m happy for him and for everyone,” said the coach, delighted with the attitude that his footballers had had. «The matches are difficult to win and you have to know how to mature your opponent and take advantage of the opportunities that are generated. There are only four days of work and the players have already assimilated some concepts, “said the coach.
