Sergino Dest on the upcoming Real Madrid clash: “It’s going to be a special experience with fans”

Sergino Dest is already heading into a new juncture in his short stint at Barcelona after being used as a right-winger in the last two games against Valencia and Dynamo Kyiv respectively.

It is expected that Dest will continue to play in that role against Real Madrid and gave an exclusive interview to ESPN earlier today in the build-up to the coming El Clasico. The right-back talked about his form, the team’s chances and fans returning to the stadium.

On his feelings heading into the Clasico: “Right now, we won the last two games. We are in a good mood again. We have to continue this. The Clasico is the most special game in football. It will be a tough game but we have to do it.”

On his impressive form heading into the big game: “Yeah [I have been in good form], but it is a team sport and you can’t do it alone. You need everybody in the team to be prepared for the game and to be sharp. We definitely have a chance. They have a good team and even we have a good team. We just have to work with each other and we can have a great day.”

On whether this was the most open El Clasico of recent times: “Yeah it can be. For me it’s going to be the first one with fans. So for me it’s going to be a special experience.”

On whether the fans play a significant role: “Yeah they give us energy you know, so it’s important.”

On who will be key: “I think the key will be to work together. Together we are stronger. We cannot do it individually. We need to regroup when they have the ball and then we definitely stand a chance.”
