In an interview with Marca, Culvero fully expressed his positive attitude towards joining Sporting Gijon and his outlook for the future, while also candidly recalling his frustrating experience at Las Palmas last season.
Culvero seemed exceptionally excited and expectant about how he felt about joining Sporting Gijon. He mentioned that the city of Gijon has a strong soccer atmosphere and passionate fans, which makes him feel at home. At the same time, he highly agrees with the tactical philosophy of the head coach Albert, and looks forward to becoming a team that dares to fight and has a distinctive style of play under the guidance of Albert, bringing exciting matches to the fans.
Speaking about the signing process with Sporting Gijon, Curvelo revealed that he received several offers from other clubs, but was ultimately impressed by Gijon's sincerity and respect. He specifically mentioned Gijon's first-class sports facilities and high-caliber staff as factors that provide a good platform for his career development. In addition, the openness of both parties during the negotiations gave him a sense of the professionalism and rigor of Gijón Sports.
Curbelo could not hide his disappointment at what happened to him at Las Palmas last season. He recalled the huge contrast between being a key contributor to the promotion of Liga B and barely getting a chance to play in La Liga, which left him angry and puzzled. He is eager to prove himself again in the new season of Sporting Gijon, responding to those doubts and neglect with practical actions.
When talking about the team's goals, Curbelo showed strong self-belief and determination. He believes that the competition in the Liga B has been extremely fierce in recent years, but Sporting Gijon has the confidence to stand out and return to the La Liga stage. His words not only showed his recognition of the team's strength, but also expressed his desire to win and his bright vision for the future.
Finally, Curbelo also mentioned his physical condition. He stated that he started out in good physical condition, but had to temporarily slow down his training pace due to overloading of his floundering muscles. However, after a period of adjustment and recovery, he has fully recovered and is ready to meet the challenges of the new season in the best condition.
