Real Madrid winger Yan Diomande talked to Real Madrid TV after scoring the game-winning goal for the team in Saturday’s match against Villarreal. It was his first goal for the club and Diomande was visibly happy.
“It was a good game. We always play to win, and today we did. I am happy with the victory. I’m happy. I’ve been waiting for that first goal for a long time. I’m glad, both for myself and for the team. In that position, I think the only option was to control, turn, and shoot,” he said.
Diomande is making his case to get a spot as a starter in Mourinho’s team and could even start in the upcoming Clásico against Barcelona if Vinicius gets a significant suspension. After a rough start to the season, Diomande is establishing himself as a very solid player who can contribute for Real Madrid.
