The warning Vinicius and Rodrygo received before Real Madrid's preseason training camp

Real Madrid's new signing, Joselu Mato, appeared before the media in his first press conference at the Valdebebas Sports City. The Spanish player expressed his love for the club since his departure from the youth academy and reflected on his football career.

Joselu Mato, who joined Real Madrid on loan from Espanyol, spoke about his choice of wearing the number '14' jersey instead of the vacant number '9'. The player stated that "the number is secondary" and that any number is important to him. He expressed his pride in wearing the Real Madrid shirt and made it clear that any player would give their best to represent the club.

During the press conference, the comparison between Joselu and French forward Karim Benzema was also addressed. The Spanish player made it clear that he is not here to replace anyone but to contribute his own style of play and make his own contribution. 

He acknowledged Benzema's exceptional level as one of the best forwards in the world but highlighted his own more physical profile and preference for being present in the penalty area. Joselu expressed his desire to transmit everything he has learned from playing in two of the best leagues in the world and showed his willingness to follow the coach's instructions.

He is here to contribute

With these statements, Joselu Mato made it clear his commitment and enthusiasm to be part of Real Madrid. The player is ready to bring his skills and experience to the team and make himself available to the coach to contribute in whatever way necessary.
