Gonzalo: "Coming off to a standing ovation is an incredible feeling"

1 day(s)

Gonzalo just cannot stop scoring. His header proved decisive in his side's progress to the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup, in which he has three goals and an assist to his name. At the end of the match against Juventus, the academy product said: “Coming off to a standing ovation is an incredible feeling. I felt a great deal of emotion and joy. I'm delighted with the goal, but I'm even happier with the victory and the way the team worked. We fought until the end and I'm pleased to get through to the quarter-finals.”
 
“I saw Trent's great ball in from the wing and I saw Rüdiger couldn't get to it. I said this is mine and I threw myself at it. It doesn't matter if I scored it with my head, my knee or whatever. I'll remember the joy I felt at that moment and scoring one more goal with this shirt. I'm delighted.”
 
His performance at the Club World Cup
"I'm very pleased with the three goals and the assist, but it's not worth anything. The most important thing is that as a team we've shown great attitude and hard work. It showed today and that's what gave us the victory and the passage to the quarter-finals."
 

 
The tempo of the game
“We knew it was going to be an intense match from the start. We gradually got better and better. We moved the ball at pace, moving it from side to side, tiring our opponents and trying to get as much as possible into the box to try and score more goals.”
 
Comparison with Raúl
“It's a great compliment. For me, it's really something. I had the opportunity to share two years with him as coach and he has taught me a lot. To be compared to him is beyond flattering.”
