An Imaginary Conversation Between Hugo Mallo and Iago Aspas
Hugo Mallo: Hey Iago, remember the time we both got started at Celta? Feels like ages ago, right?
Iago Aspas: Absolutely! It’s like we’re the old guards now, but still kicking it pretty good, huh? Some things never change, like your rock-solid defending!
Hugo Mallo: And your knack for finding the back of the net, man! Seriously, where do you get those instincts from? You make it look so easy.
Iago Aspas: Ha! Thanks, mate. I think it’s just years of playing together, we’ve got that rhythm going, you know? Speaking of which, how do you keep your energy up? Leading the team, defending like a beast, and still have that drive.
Hugo Mallo: It’s all about balance, brother. Good training, solid rest, and maybe a bit of home-cooked Galician food. Can’t beat that!
Iago Aspas: Amen to that. Nothing like a hearty pulpo a la gallega after a win. What’s the favorite memory you have in your Celta career so far?
Hugo Mallo: Tough one! There are so many. But I think one of the best moments was that Europa League run. The atmosphere in Balaídos, our fans were incredible!
Iago Aspas: Oh man, that was epic! The whole city was buzzing. And what about your leadership on the field? Do you feel a lot of pressure being the captain?
Hugo Mallo: Honestly? It’s a big responsibility, but I see it more as a privilege. We’ve got such a great squad, and knowing that the team trusts me pushes me to give my best every single game.
Iago Aspas: That’s why you’re our captain, Hugo. Your dedication is top-notch. And hey, after all this is over, you think you’ll dive into coaching? Maybe we can start a duo act, coach and striker, what do you think?
Hugo Mallo: Now that’s a thought! The Mallo-Aspas duo taking over the coaching world. Why not? But let’s focus on lifting more trophies first. Deal?
Iago Aspas: Deal! Here’s to more goals, more clean sheets, and more unforgettable moments. Vamos Celta!
Hugo Mallo: Vamos Celta!
